SIXFOOTBLUE'S PROFILE

It`s even more stupid when someone makes a cbs for 2k3 and demands a script. Goddamn script kiddies, learn to distinguish 2k3 from xp or vx. And no events for you.

Well hey, copy+pasting IS a hell of a lot more desirable. Less effort.

"Make tutorial plz"

It really bugs me when I see a message of the sort pop up on a screenshot or topic or youtube video of...nearly anything really, games inclusive.

As an example, I came across a youtube video showing off some different systems and artwork in an rm2k3 game. Somewhere near the top, I see a comment that goes along the lines of "omg amazing, plz make a tutorial!"

Now normally, if the person was seriously asking for instruction, and actually followed up on the commenter's/OP's recommendations, and actually took some initiative, then there isn't really a problem. What bugs me is when someone asks for tutorials and basically expect to be spoon fed everything, and that's only IF they ever show up on the page again. I see comments asking for tutorials, and the commenter posts once, then never returns. I've seen others just not bother with it when the OP recommends finding the different instructional pages through a search engine or even if the tutorial isn't in a video format, and they actually have to read through a document.

It could just be me, but to be honest, I don't understand the lack of motivation to actually LOOK for information and tutorials yourself. You have search engines and the world wide web at your disposal, and despite the abundance of information, you don't bother using any of it and just ask someone else to get it for you.

Perhaps I'm being a bit oversensitive. What are your opinions on the topic?

I think, in the end, what determines how good music is in a videogame is based on how well it couples the scenery. Dark, mysterious or spooky maps work well with little to no music and really help to bring out the ambiance of the area. If you're tiptoeing through a moldy hospital hallway with no light other than from the windows and your flashlight, the sound of a breeze blowing through the halls along with some unexpected clanking or footsteps coming from the distance would do a lot better to enhance the game's atmosphere. If you're in a bright cartoon platformer stomping down on your enemies, then some bright and upbeat music would work well to add to the fun factor of the game's atmosphere. Of course there are exceptions, but most of the time, this usually creates the best effect in my opinion.

I haven't gone on RMN in ages. Now that I look at my account, I don't really like the name I signed up with. Is there any way I can change it with my account as-is, or do I have to register a new one?
