Some games aren't looking to appeal to anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, patronized, investigated or approved of... some games, just wanna watch the heads turn. ~Alfred Gamersworth

I thought I'd be able to come up with more but i wasn't able to, oh well!

LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

This is but one of the legends of which the players speak...

Long ago, there existed a website where an administrative power lay unused. It was a prosperous site blessed with active forums, long games, and peace.

But one day a man of great salt found the administrative power and took it for himself. With its strength at his command, he spread salt across the website. But then, when all hope had died, and the hour of doom seemed at hand...

...a young man clothed in green appeared as if from nowhere. Wielding the hammer of EVIL'S BANNE, he sealed the salty one away and gave the community light.

This man, who shifted his surname many times, was known as the Hero of the Realm. The man's tale was passed down through generations until it became legend... But then, a day came when a fell wind began to blow across the website. The great salt that all thought had been forever sealed away by the hero once again crept forth from the depths of the earth, eager to resume its dark designs.

The people believed that the Hero of the Realm would again come to save them... But the hero did not appear. Faced by an onslaught of salt, the people could do nothing but appeal to the mods. In their last hour, as doom drew nigh, they left their future in the hands of fate.

What became of that website...? None remain who know.

Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

"Okay, listen, let me lay something on you here. It's pretty heavy. They told me NEVER NEVER EVER to use the RTP. Or I would DIE. But we're out of options here. So... get ready to listen to battle4, alright, on the off chance that I'm not dead the moment I set it as the main battle bgm." ~Wheatley

This is the most amazing post I have ever seen.

Not quite as funny if you haven't played the game, though.

I'll agree there, though I think XP's are even worse, though that may just be my irrational hatred of washed out colors talking.

"Game creation is about making an impact, not making an income." ~Kevin Kruse

"I've missed more than 9000 deadlines in my career. I've lost almost 300 game projects. 26 times I've been trusted to finish the game and didn't. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." ~Michael Jordan

"We've been conditioned to question ourselves — to constantly look for information to make sure we're doing it right. Because of that, game developers are in a state of learned helplessness."

"You have to just be at peace with what you are and what you really want to be. Like, a lot of people will say, 'I'm an aspiring pixel artist,' or, 'I'm an aspiring game designer.' No! You're a game designer! You're a pixel artist! If you're doing that shit every day, that's what you are. Just own it."
- Danny Sexbang
"Being in the business I'm in, I know dozens of aspiring game developers. They think of themselves as game developers, they introduce themselves as game developers at parties, they know that deep inside, they have the heart of a game developer. The only thing they're missing is that minor final step, where they actually fucking develop games.

But really, does that matter? Is "developing games" all that important when deciding who is and who is not truly a "game developer"?

For the love of God, yes."
