Venture attacked your arc, NOT you.
Heck, that's not just a direct insult to the author, but to everybody else who didn't think his arc was "an egregious example of bad writing exacerbated by pretentious false profundity". While the latter is technically in reference to only the arc itself - albeit not in a format I much care for and feel it should be attitude-adjusted - telling people they have bad taste has nothing to do with the arc material itself and at least where I come from is a direct attack on them.Quote:Originally Posted by Venture
Some of those people liked it and the rest have good taste.
If you don't think so, go out sometime and tell the next person wearing something you don't like that they have no taste. See if they take it as an attack on the article of clothing or their person. -
Heh, now I'm only looking forward to this even more.

Except for "Psychophage" which was deliberately bad (and still got at least two four-star ratings, one of them in a review here)
Personally, I think PP's still your best work. Well, except for the last mission's repetitiveness. Up to then, it's fun, engaging, and constantly throws something new at the player that wasn't seen coming a mile away.

Interesting that you take my statement to mean that. Very interesting. But okay. Like I said, I don't know your motivation, so I can't make a conclusion on it. YMMV, as they say. And while I'm not sure why you brought 'Blight' up again then if that's the case (personally, I would've just dropped the subject a long time ago), I can't say there either - the author says you attacked him, you say the author attacked you, and since I don't actually know either of you, I have no idea who's being truthful.

Sorry to be the one to say this, but ever since you started 'reviewing' arcs from people who didn't ask to get their stuff torn apart, you do walk the line in that regard. In fact, if your motive was to get an emotional rise out of people, then you've already crossed it. Since I don't know whether it was, I can't say it for sure, but you definitely walk the line.

Unfortunately, DeviousMe already ruined it, because you were so close! But I just couldn't put up with that anymore.

Ok... so it's a pun, is it? Right. Now explain what the "Pot" part of the pun is. Why not Croc Bucket? Croc Elephant? If the joke is only the Croc word, why isn't there just anything on the end there? Why not Croc Jesus?

They weren't challenging, they were tedious. And they don't have any "weak spots" that could be exploited by an arbitrary character.

Quote:Personally, I found them rather entertaining. I prefer challenging enemies, especially the ones that have a weak spot built into them that makes them squish so good/total wusses once you figure it out...but I know that's not for everyone and YMMV.Originally Posted by GrinningSpade
I know, these robots were horrible. Without something like Elude, I got clobbered by blue flagging groups of them on my db/wp scrapper. Not much fun that.

Hahahaha!

Aside from some grammar issues, the only suggestion I'd have is that you change 'manipulates inertia' to 'manipulates density' since the two are very different concepts and you don't actually seem to be using the first one at all. Other than that, looks fine to me.

Quote:Humor is subjective. Personally, although I didn't find it that funny, the meme dialogue didn't bother me enough to affect the rest of the arc.Originally Posted by Tangler
The arc is just fine when the contact isn't speaking. As for the memes, being played off as part of the gag doesn't stop it from being any less painful to read through in this case. See: Tidus laughing on the bridge.

Sexy.

Awesome. Also, welcome back.
-
Yep.

Hehe, nice. I really like the expression on her face.
-
Wow. This is really helpful, actually. Thanks, TA.
-
Can't wait, hehe. Been wondering what'd happened to ya, so it's good to see you're still around. No chance of coming back for good anytime soon though, is there?
Because I think I speak for all of us when I say we miss you.
-
Known issue. They're working on it. Move along.
-
Oh snap, yhis is all my fault! I forgot to put on my tin foil hat! Nooo!
-
I could definitely go for this. I imagine it'd help both trials and regular players out a lot.
-
Dangit, I never seem to get lucky with one of these. Oh well. Still congrats to the winners; you're gonna get some awesome stuff.

I'll take 'the rapists' for 80.

I'm still here, and so are most of the other members of the official Screenshots & Fan Creations Lurker Union. Though not often vocal, I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say we're glad to have ya back.

We'll see, heh. I'm hoping for some myself.
