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.

The Unofficial Squaresoft MUD is a free online game based on the worlds and combat systems of your favorite Squaresoft games. UOSSMUD includes job trees from FFT and FF5, advanced classes from multiple other Square games, and worlds based extremely accurately upon Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, and Final Fantasies 5, 6, and 7. Travel through the original worlds and experience events that mirror those of the original games in an online, multiplayer format.
If a large, highly customized MUD, now over 10 years old and still being expanded, with a job system and worlds based on some of the most popular console RPGs seems interesting to you, feel free to log on and check it out. Visit uossmud.sandwich.net for information about logging on.

Let's Try: A new type of feedback
Yeah, the video is pretty unbearable. I don't really know what's going on there. I recorded it at 640x480 and then compressed it to 320x240 for Youtube. Apparently that was the wrong way to go. Next time I won't compress it, I'll just upload it at the original size and let Youtube figure out what to do with it.
Using RPG Maker has changed my view on gaming.
I suppose that's the other part of the equation. If you enjoy figuring things out in RPGs, then once you know everything in a game it becomes boring to play. The same thing could easily apply to the genre as a whole.
Using RPG Maker has changed my view on gaming.
It's possible to get sick of a certain type of game with or without any design experience. That's really unrelated to the issue of playing games and understanding how they work. And, honestly, if you like RPGs in the first place, and if you like game design at all, then there's roughly a 100% chance that you enjoy understanding how something works. Since figuring out and understanding things with a problem-solving mindset is the entirety of gameplay in RPGs, as well as the central focus of software design. This is part of why RPG Maker is so much more popular than other programs like Fighter Maker or Adventure Game Maker - because RPGs attract these sorts of people to begin with.

(Double post acknowledged, but I don't want to clutter the main post with individual videos, so deal with it.)
Here is my first set of videos, Let's Try Forever's End. Forever's End is a game by NicoB, which I did a Let's Try of by request.
Five videos are done so far, stopping right after the defeat of the first boss.

Game Ranking
The stars are an average of all your reviews. If you have no reviews, it will not show any stars. That's actually visibly different from having a very low score - since the lowest possible score you could possibly get from reviews is 0.5 stars.
Let's Try: A new type of feedback
A couple people started individual topics for their own videos, but since it's becoming a trend - and in an effort to make it become more of a trend - I'm starting a general topic for these videos. Full credit goes to YDS both for coming up with the original idea and for making the idea a reality.
Let's Try is a type of video production resembling the popular Let's Play videos of commercial games, but with much more of a focus on detailed feedback for the developer's sake. What this means is that the person recording the video is expected to nitpick about minor details, and to explain why they do or don't like what is happening in the game. While the videos can certainly still be entertaining for other players to watch, it's not the point - they're really meant to serve more as a more direct form of feedback or testing.
Making a Let's Try video is a happy medium between playing a game and discussing it, letting you just record yourself as you play it - generally for the first time - so that the developer can see exactly how you respond to the game's scenarios. Any developer who's ever had the chance to watch someone play their game knows how amazingly helpful it can be. And at the same time, it can be more enjoyable for the player, because instead of just playing an impersonal game, they are playing it with a direct line to the developer open the entire time, which can make frustrating parts of the game feel much less frustrating, and if you're like me, maybe even make the enjoyable parts of the game feel much more enjoyable.
Players and fellow developers alike are encouraged to record their own Let's Try videos. This thread can be used for requesting videos, offering to create videos, and posting videos, as well as any sort of questions or discussions related to the video-making process or to any of the videos themselves. (This thread may grow rather large. Feel free to start your own personal threads if you have lots of videos or expect lots of responses.)

So how do you like your backstory?
Yeah, that's true. I only look up the things that interest me.
Like, in Warcraft 3, as the game opens, a character named Thrall is the warchief of the Orcish Horde, and yet openly opposes everything the Horde stands for. A lot of the game's plot revolves around how these conflicts play out, but it made for an incredibly interesting character, and made me wonder how came to be the warchief, so I read about his backstory in the manual. In fact, I even went to Borders and bought the novel about his ascent to power.
But in the same game, if you don't read the backstory in the manual, the Night Elves are presented simply as sleepy, peaceful forest denizens who are mad that they got invaded. If you do bother to read up on them, they actually have a pretty complex backstory involving their split from the High Elves and their battle against demonic corruption, but there's nothing in-game that made me want to look for it. There's no hook. So I just let that part of the game be boring.

Deckiller's Let's Try Thread

Ooh, YDS has started a movement!
Are you taking requests, Deckiller?
Huh, is this officially a thing, now? Seems like fun. I've never actually recorded a video before, but I'd take a request. It can't be that hard. Someone send me a private message or something!
ok, did i waste 3 days of my life?
Heh, I actually thought of that before I posted, but didn't want to encourage him. Plus, that was not made within three days of downloading RPG Maker for the first time. That was made by people who knew what they were doing before they started. If they had downloaded RPG Maker for the first time, and then 24 hours later submitted what they had done, they would be lucky to have a town where you could enter the houses.
