So I tried Pom Gets Wifi to see what all the fuss was about...

@Isieri> Nah, let's talk about SAO!

@Liberty> Some parts of Log Horizon just felt unnecessarily drawn out, while not really having much in the way of plot advancement or character development. Some parts were a chore to watch. But that's just how I saw it.

As for SAO, well as I've said, only the first arc is any good. That gun arc had promise, but... yeah. Alfheim was too much. Normally I wouldn't have raised any complaints to that sort of thing, if it were not for the fact that I was watching this with my younger cousins who were 7-9 years old. You have no idea how long I had to explain shit to them (and their parents).

Aside, I'd play the hell out of a game set in Log Horizon's world. Plus points if it's a city-managing simulation.
Anyone here up for making one? You'll get a guaranteed minimum of 4 stars in a review from me ;P

Edit: Ooh, page breaker!

@Libby:Seriously, quit with the "people only hate it because it's popular" bullshit. It's a boringly obvious attempt at discrediting the opinion of everyone who legitimately dislikes that game. Unless you have some sort of proof that people only hate it because it's popular, of course.


I pointed out that it wasn't 'popularity' but the fact that it became popular due to outside forces and spent a lot of time 'in people's faces' as a reason why a lot of people don't like it and hate on it. As has been said by others, having an opinion of 'I don't like this' is fine, but bringing it up all the time and shitting over it is more hating on it than just not liking a thing.

There's a lot of games on the site I'm sure you don't like, but you don't bring them up all the goddamn time and make tongue-in-cheek comments about them, 'jokingly' poking fun and hating on them (lol let's give it a memorial as Worst game on the site lol - that's hate, not simple 'oh I didn't like this game') so maybe quit bringing it up as 'the worst thing ever' and poking fun at it all the damn time and people might not think your reasons for 'not liking' has more to do with hating it and jealousy than just not liking it in general.

If you don't want to get lumped into that kind of subset, maybe stop acting like one of 'em.

Tell you what, I'll deplete Pom right now and you can see how long it takes for it to buzz right back on the front page. It just tends to get a lot of visits and downloads.

Jesus. Not even 24 hours have passed and it's already into #12 spot as I type this.


Maybe the Buzzing category needs a hard upper limit like Download Count. Once your game is over 50,000 downloads, you honestly don't need the Buzzing advertisement anymore.
I'm not deliberately hating on Pom or anything. I just don't want to see Buzzing gradually become a billboard for tumblr crazes.

They told me I was mad when I said I was going to create a spidertable. Who’s laughing now!!!

I kinda agree on this: it def. seems like super popular blowups (especially ones that get advertised by minor internet celebs) no longer need the support.
Honestly, the depletion happens pretty fast - and there's plenty of spaces in that section for a game or three to be added there without fuss. I mean, there's 12 spots and buzz comes and goes so quickly, it usually changes a lot. There are currently 5 new games there, 6 that have been there often because they see regular updates, and Pom.

Yes, I depleted her yesterday by -20,000 buzz and she's back already. She's just that demanding of our attention. All hail the queen. XD

Hell, the fact that she is back so fast just goes to show that she's never gonna give buzz up or let buzz down, run around or desert buzz! Honestly, I don't mind too much seeing her there. She only takes up one spot and it's not often on the first row, oddly enough. (And frankly, I think it's nice that a piece of Me-Patra is still with us... haunting us over the failure to protect a promising newbie from all that hate. Kinda fitting, I feel.)

That said, not sure if it's possible to have something like that added, and I can see the shitstorm already brewing from people on the site who have games that have a lot of downloads who don't want to lose their front page spot if they put something new out.
