I kickbanned you because you were being a drunk idiot. 

Considering that at that point I was neither drunk nor acting differently from anyone else, that's a pretty poor excuse. 

 

[nt] 

i do, we've had our differences in the past, but yer a good fella to cut the shit with.

if you never do visit again, it's been a swell time while it lasted. 

Did you find the bsdm maps that you were looking for? I have bsdm1 - bsdm8
Let me know if you still haven't got them, and I'll arrange something 

yeah rpg, good times having you around. i'll never forget testing your dm map with you :D

hopefully scampie's attitude wont alienate you forever. ideally, he wont also piss anyone else off too badly in the long run

Impressive concept, although the implemention looks kinda glitchy and ugly from those screenshots. 

pope: I honestly don't remember having any "differences" with you. If I argued with you, I was probably wrong.

inertia: While your feedback was very useful and much appreciated, you had one of the worst attitudes of any tester I have ever had. 

rpg: because I was stubborn about what you needed to change? I feel that your map plays significantly better with my suggestions, many of which you were loathe to implement intially 

because I was stubborn about what you needed to change?

Yes. And you were still being a bigot about it even after release.

I feel that your map plays significantly better with my suggestions, many of which you were loathe to implement intially

Absolutely 100% correct.

that cardboard quakeguy is kinda flimsy, doesn't stand up too well cause the card is cheap and thin.
Uh, so I've heard anyway...

that baby looks familiar 

I was just playing PH8DM2 with 4 bots and now I realize it is bigger than I initially felt it was, so now I agree, little too big/sparse. 

"Aerowalk inside"


I'm sorry :D 

Seriously, not looking at creative work for months your perspective tightens up a bit, and start to see things you didn't notice immediately.

#14 !?!?!? 

but with new technology the violance becomes all the more graphical and realistic. I don't like the trend.

So the only thing stopping you from acting out what you're consuming is the quality? Good lord, don't ever turn on your television. 

Bloody good and entertaining article, I agree with all of them apart from 14!

Instant-Failure Stealth Levels. Ack. This brings back horrible memories of a Goldeneye level where if you tripped an alarm, an infinite number of bad guys poured forth. We knew a man who failed that level 37 times, then got the Infinite Health cheat for it and came back. He intentionally tripped the alarm, the guards rushed out. Laughing maniacally, he proceeded to shoot those fuckers for four hours, killing 1,183 of them - 682 with groin shots - before his thumbs cramped up. Your game should not create this kind of bitterness.

LOL! 

>So the only thing stopping you from acting out what you're consuming is the quality? Good lord, don't ever turn on your television.

No, it just doesn't interest me and doesn't make me feel anything I'd like to from a game or movie or documentary or anything... Feelings like excitement, sense of wonder, thrill, etc. - it does not produce that. Just sadness and disgust.

Sure, maybe some people like it as an "experience", like to be hit with a baseball bat to their nuts (jackasses). Maybe I'm just a wuss but I just don't feel that way. There's nothing "awesome" in it per se.

There has to be something else beside violence to make it worth inclusion. It's a special thing that has to be used with much thought and care. Much more thought, when it becomes more powerful with technology. There are pretty brutal things in quake 1, but the graphics are so bad you don't really notice or think of the torn-off faces etc.
Most healthy people have these things called mirror cells in their brain that make them feel empathy. They feel a bit what other people they see are feeling. If the technology becomes better, and the humans being mutilated look more and more human, people start to feel more and more empathy and thus eventually disgust and uninterest.

This is not a one-way process though. People like violence too, ice hockey and gladiators and whatnot. It's been a dilemma for thinkers for hundreds of years.
