Notes: How do you keep them?

piece of scrap paper stored under the keyboard.

I use system or index cards for simple note taking; such as writing down passwords/logins for computers in Deus Ex (Note level/area at the top and list passwords etc underneath)

Bro, you could have used the in-game system to write your own notes! It even lets you add notes to images!

I know.

But system cards help me keep track of things quickly without needing to click in and out of the in-game journal and trawling through records of shit to find a specific door or elevator pass-code.

Assburger memory. If it overflows, I tend to use mundane paper - unless I can be arsed to to just weave the information into the very fabric of reality, of course.


As a side note, a game with ability to create your own journal entries would rock. Built-in scribble pad, wouldn't hurt either.

Edit:
I forgot Deus Ex supporting player's notes.

Deus Ex has one of the best journal's I've ever seen in a video game. Datavault ftw.

Memory, a good pen and paper, or even the Notes section at the end of the manual.

Back in the C-64 days, with the D&D games, we used to map out the areas with graph paper. Also, took notes on them.

Fuck, there was a C-64 game called Asylum. We'd map out the "maze" on graph paper, only to find out that leaving the bottom of the map brought you back to the top, and even though moving seemed like North, South, East, West ... one area was actually an octogon. Had us all fucked up and confused until we figured this out. Killer game. "Look up"

Excel for something which is better kept organized, otherwise notepad.

I'm a sad excuse for a CRPG player and can't/don't play anything that requires drawing your own maps. Terrible, etc. For everything else, it's a scribbled mess on a sheet of paper, front and back and barely legible.
