What do you hate most about game design
I personally don't think marketing is necessarily part of game design. I mean it can be part of it, considering target audience and monetizing schemes and such during the design phase. But I think marketing generally tends to happen a lot later in the process.
Consoles & Favourite Games
I'm just going to do strange choices for the heck of it.
NES
Tecmo Cup Soccer
Football + RPG. It's the game that later made me interested in football management games. I wish there were more games like this. Though I guess with the indies nowadays there probably is.
Honourable mentions: SMB2, Street Gangs, Zelda 2, Snake Rattle n'Roll, the last one was probably terrible, but this is about nostalgia goggles.
Game Boy
Link's Awakening
The Ballad of the Wind Fish was so great I tried to tape it. It sounded awful. But the game is great. I remember it being one of the first and only Zelda games I tried to break a bit by doing the dungeons in the wrong order and stuff like that.
Honourable mentions: Pokemon Red, Sword of Hope
N64
International Superstar Soccer 2000
A football game that also included a dating simulator where you'd practice your player and date girls. Probably one of the very earliest versions of single-character career modes out there. I wish the games played hadn't been only like the last fifteen minutes of games. I would have liked to have played defenseman for a full game. But I guess there are games that might do that nowadays.
Honourable mentions: Resident Evil 2, Perfect Dark, Lylat Wars
Gamecube
Resident Evil 4
I've been a fan of the RE games for a long time. I was a bit suspicious of RE4's direction at first but it worked out just fine.
Honourable mentions: Super Smash Bros Melee, Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader
Nintendo DS
Elite Beat Agents
Music games are pretty awesome. And few are as awesome as this. The music choice works most of the time even though it's just covers that are not quite as good as the originals.
Honourable mentions: Professor Layton, Henry Hatsworth, Meteos
Wii
Excite Truck
Excitebike was pretty awesome and this game was also awesome from time to time. Especially when it worked :) When it didn't. Not so much. But a perfect landing boost in combination with that attempt at hard rock soundtrack.
Honourable mentions: Guitar Hero 3, Guitar Hero: Metallica, Super Smash Bros Brawl
I didn't personally own an SNES or a Playstation, but I played a bit of NHL94 on the SNES. It was pretty fun. And probably Final Fantasy 7 or Resident Evil 3 on the Playstation.
PC
All the good games.

What do you hate most about game design
I don't think I really hate anything about game design. But in creating a game there's plenty I don't like to do. That's why I'm an armchair designer rather than someone who actually makes things.
So maybe I hate when reality clashes with design goals.
Of course I just answered to the topic title. Seems the topic text was about actually making it rather than just designing it.

Man. I have the same explanation in all the topics. I need to come up with a new one for next time.

I always read it as kento(n)-nag-bone. Such a nag nag nag.
Shinan was my first tabletop character. An elven ranger. I never actually got to use him since I was the one who owned the rpg books so I was the one who had to GM in the end. But mostly I just made a bunch of Shinans in various settings of various types. (including but not limited to: A cyberpunk assassin who used swords... of course, a space fighter pilot squad leader and a hermit who lived underground in the subway.)
It was probably on the GW RP forums that I in the end created the "final" Shinan. Who was also a character in my first NaNoWriMo novel. (That Shinan is a slightly down on his luck servant of an Evil Necromancer. He has the unfortunate power of being able to talk to ghosts.)
My namechanges are always just variants of Shinan. When Shinan started being taken online (it usually wasn't for the longest time actually) I started using Shinanite. A Shinanite being a follower of Shinan I guess? (in eight grade I created my own religion, though the followers of that one weren't called shinanites, but jananites)
In my very earliest days online I actually used the name "Jan from Finland" until I found out that most places don't accept spaces in nicknames. So for a while I was JfF in some tiny places too.

Looking into putting together a trailer. Anyone know of any decent video editing software for a guy with a ramen noodle budget?
If you had asked a couple of days ago Humble Bundle had a software bundle that included Vegas Pro I think. But it seems that bundle is over now.
Finally watched Last Jedi. It felt like someone's bad fan fiction, beefed up with Disney's behemoth budget and dignified with a John Williams score. I'm literally in shock they're trusting this director with another 3 movies.
If they are good or not doesn't really matter. It's all about that sweet sweet cultural significance.

author=visitorsfromdreamsauthor=BlindI don't know about that. Luke never went through proper Jedi training. He had an afternoon training with an old man and then a couple weeks with Yoda and that was it. He took his light sabre into the dark cave despite Yoda asking him not too and he gave himself to the dark side, even if it was only momentarily, being brought back by knowing he would be no different to the father who he went to save in Return of the Jedi after cutting off Vaders hand. Luke wanted to be do what was right but he always had self doubt issues throughout the entire trilogy. I think Lukes character in this exactly what Luke would have become if he went through what he did. I don't think it was about the Jedi at all in this film. It was about Luke as a character, a self professed Jedi, and that is far more interesting than just the same old shit we have seen over and over and over.
The Jedi/Luke Skywalker stuff especially completely betrayed his character, considering the way he had been developed in every film before this one. I get that he became lonely and "tortured" over the years in isolation. But I still can't bring myself to believe that the character who refused to fight Vader, would decide to draw a Light Saber on his own nephew in a moment of rage and impulse. It just makes zero sense. And it's clear that Rian Johnson deeply misunderstands the philosophical underpinnings of the Jedi.
I think it's interesting how, in ways, true to the text the Luke story kinda is. The only real problem is that we've had thirty years to extrapolate own versions of the stories, but when you look at what is actually there visitorfromdreams' interpretation of what happened is just as valid as any preconceived notions that didn't mesh with the Luke of The Last Jedi. Looking back at it The Force Awakens really builds up Luke Skywalker as this mythical being, so in a way it would almost have been disappointing to see all of those... expectations fulfilled. In fact how interesting a story would that have been really?
The thing that I loved about The Last Jedi is how it defied certain expectations, but did it in a way that just made the movie better and more intriguing. I always enjoy when I think I know how a movie might be going in and then it isn't that, but instead it is way better than that. It doesn't happen very often. And I never thought it would happen in a Star Wars movie.
