Review scoring: standardization, professionalism, etc.

people literally can't figure out how a 5-star rating scale works

yeah, i guess counting your fingers would be pretty tough when you're sucking your goddamn thumb all the time

novel solution to problem: stop being whiny titty babies when people don't like the thing you like

Funny/Odd Things Said Whilst Playing Video Games.

i had a good killstreak going in Halo: Reach and absentmindedly started rapping "What That Mouth Do" by Lil B into the mic

everyone i was playing with was either cracking up or saying "what the fuck is this" and i didn't even realize how absurd i must have sounded until i had finished the entire thing

for reference, this is What That Mouth Do:

i think the worst part is that i can't even claim to listen to Lil B ironically anymore, honestly

edit:
wait, no, it's that i actually remembered the entire thing.

Preventing grind: Why? And how?

author=Tabris_Macbeth
You are obviously a modern gamer. You never clearly played any of those thousands of games you just bashed if with this ignorant, self-righteous crap
this made my morning

even as someone who usually ends up grinding at some point in any RPG i play, i think preventing grind sounds like a great thing
(my project -- which may or may not ever become a game -- is all about preventing grind)

Cut scenes: how long is too long?

Liking something and thinking that it's quality are two different things. For example, you might like your girlfriend?
hahahahahahahahaha

(sick burn)

What are you currently reading?

author=lucidrose
no other writer today can really compare to what Martin does
i've never read his books but i'm pretty sure this isn't true with people like Murakami and McCarthy alive

why do these names all start with M

Religion and the After-Life

i believe in reincarnation but not in individual souls; every consciousness comes from and returns to the "sea of egos" or what have you

i don't believe in any deities, but i don't call myself an atheist. i always feel kind of off calling myself an agnostic, but that's what i usually go with. agnosticism to me implies belief that it's impossible to know, but i don't think that's necessarily true. similarly, i feel like atheism implies rejection of any possibility, but to me it seems ignorant to outright reject it

i also think religion is a bad thing but not necessarily that religious people are bad (oh boy i can't wait until someone gets offended)

What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?

thanks to craze i'm replaying The Spirit Engine 2

i'm using PyanPau and his smug expression is hilarious. one of the scenes literally made me laugh out loud because of that.

Cut scenes: how long is too long?

author=ubermax
Most of the information is on the current state of the world
does your character have reason to not know the state of the world? because if they should logically already know this stuff, it kills suspension of disbelief pretty fast

happens a lot in JRPGs too:
"hey the world is overrun by demons"
"when did that happen???"
"like before you were even born"
"oh. shit"

edit:
oh right, length, that's a thing
i don't think there's necessarily a limit so long as the material is engaging. the caveat with that is that no one will care enough to get engaged if they can't play their videogame so you should keep the exposition nestled between bouts of "game play" meaty enough to sate the player

ps craze shut up you like xenosaga 3, that game is literally half its normal length if you skip all the cutscenes (i also like xenosaga 3)
when i replayed it i skipped every cutscene and would literally have to press the skip cutscene button 6 times in a row on average

Terraria

um no

there's literally nothing complex about the game at all
