My comment about not doing videos anymore is not actually directed at YOU Pogo.

Has to do with the reaction the guy who I reviewed gave me. Although I have a bunch of people BEGGING me not to stop...

Didn't you hear the humming of the glowie? You passed it 3 times!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yea I heard it but didnt SEE IT. I also thought I had heard it in a second spot.

I was confused.

I am gonna wait and see if anyone else is gonna weigh in so to speak.

I am still leaning towards not bothering anymore because I dont want to offend people with my opinions.

But... that's ALWAYS going to happen

Look, when critiquing ANYTHING, there is going to be a frank exchange of viewpoints between the person doing the review and the person being reviewed. Part of being a good critic is highlighting the "good" aspects of a piece of work (in this instance, the parts you liked about a person's Arc), but being brave enough to point out the "bad" aspects of a piece of work (int his instance, the parts you DIDN'T like about a person's Arc). You shouldn't worry about offending people with your opinions; that's part of the critiquing process. It helps the reviewer become a better critic, and it helps the reviewee improve their work.

I think TV Tropes said it best when it comes to this issue.

It's up to you, like I said before, at least try to give it a few more shots before quitting the whole thing

Well then, who is willing to be my next Guinea Pig then eh?

While this is a good idea I am going to wait to see how other people feel.

So far Aisynia feels I will not pay attention to the arc, and Mirror doesn't want me to stop because its new and unique.

Well as long as people are bailing from the queue...I might as well slip my 3 part epic in here.

The Lost Choir. A 3 part epic tale of God and the Beyond, The Lost Choir explores religion both in the real world and in the world of City of Heroes. ID's 123675, 136959, and 141011.

I think you may want to watch the video before you slip your massive arc in here. You may find me "unattentive" as a few people do.

The point is that you rated my arc a 2 because you couldn't find a glowie that was right in the middle of the screen. You could have tried looking harder or reset the mission (since it was the first) to see if it was a bug. Instead you judged it and lowered it's overall rating based on you not actually paying attention to the mission at all.

I wouldn't give your arc a bad review out of spite but I believe if you are going to do reviews you should actually pay attention to the arc instead of running it like it's a newspaper mission.

The object is a standard filing cabinet. It's obviously not that tiny since I was able to see it in your video which only took up perhaps a 3x5 inch section of my screen.

Saying that it's tiny and that you spent time trying to find it but couldn't is an obvious attempt to cover up for the fact that you gave an entire arc a bad rating just because you weren't paying attention in the first mission.

Sorry about the venom but I am quite pissed off right now. You seriously didn't even try. You seemed to just assume that it was a kill all then gave up when killing all didn't solve it. I wouldn't have cared about the 2 star rating if it was because you didn't like my sense of humor or choice of enemies. But instead it was because you weren't paying attention to what you were doing.

[/ QUOTE ]

*sigh* Forget it. I wont bother to do the videos.

Sorry for offending you Mandu.'

Keep this in mind though: You KNEW what to look for. I didn't know it was a filing cabinet. I knew NOTHING. I just knew I had to find something.

Regardless, I wont bother doing this again. Have a nice day Mandu.

Perhaps doing this in the form of a video diary is a bad idea because it's obvious you were tremendously distracted... or have vision and hearing problems.

5:36 Glowie becomes audible as you are on the other side of the wall from it.

5:43 You can see the glowie flashing in the background but partially hidden.

5:53 Glowie visible for several seconds right in the middle of the screen.

6:06 You jump straight at the glowie and the sound becomes audible again, then for some reason just as you are arcing down and would land right in front of it, you do a 180 and go chasing more Crey.

14:52 You are ten feet away from it. Right there! In front of those two big white looking containers. You jump directly over it and the sound becomes as loud as any glowie ever gets. But you just pass it by and head to the next room.

You think this mission made you frustrated? Imagine being the person who wrote it and being able to both see and hear the glowie multiple times while the person doing the review complains about how terrible the mission is and that they can't find anything to click.

If you want to run it again let me know and I'll have the glowie surrounded by mobs of crey waving their arms over their heads and yelling "Over Here!!!"

But I did expand on one piece of dialogue to let other people know they would be facing Crey and didn't have to defeat any of them if they didn't want to.

And now I'm off to rate your mission a 2 because I can't find the button that says "Yes I will accept the mission"

Please don't do any more of my arcs. Or anybody elses for that matter unless you have a seeing eye dog sitting by your side.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok now you are being petty. Sorry that I couldnt see the very tiny mission objective (I watched the vid and that thing is tiny!). Maybe if you made it a bit larger?

I spent a good amount of time trying to find that thing, and I never saw it.

Sorry if I offended you. *shrug* If anyone here is not happy with the way I did this just say so and I wont bother to review your arc. Simple as that eh?

I dont HAVE to review your stuff. And go ahead and rate mine a two out of spite. Go right ahead. I think its a really petty thing to do, but hey, its your dime.

I thought I heard it but I couldnt SEE the blasted thing. Well, if Mandu can update it somehow I would not be against trying again :P

Alright the first video, for Mandu's "The Dev's Must Die" is up

You can view it in one of 2 places:

or

Take your pick and enjoy!

Today I post the first of my Video reviews of MA Arcs.

Hilarity and anger are sure to ensue (anger from the dude whose Arc I review, as I spent a good 10 minutes trying to find the BLASTED GLOWY AND COULDNT!)

Had to rate it low. Had to.

Yes the lying is not supposed to make you comfy.
The island was the closet thing to a forest I could find, although I am pretty sure now there is an actual Croatoa map.

I should add an ambush but I am DARN close to the cap (like 97% full)

I have been trying to fix the office map so things are more spread out but no matter what I do it seems to not want to spread out :/

Maybe add an ambush during the final boss fight. HRMM.

[ QUOTE ]
Argh, got swamped with more work than I thought today, so I barely had time to finish one of my own Arcs tonight

I'll make sure to review your Arc tomorrow, Stomphoof!

[/ QUOTE ]

You dont HAVE to play mine dude. Unless you want to.

I finished recording my first Video, of Mandu's The Devs Must Die. I realize that I am speaking kind of softly, so you may need to turn up your volume.

I will upload it tomorrow during the day, while I am at work!

30 more minutes.

Please lords of Gaming let me survive... LET ME SURVIVE!

5 minutes left on lunch.

Dear ROOK SAVE ME!

Also, how much fun are AR/? Blasters? And whats a good secondary to merge with it?

I have been wanting to do a blaster...

I want to do AR/? Not sure what tho..

I got Thunder Strike last night. That made me go :O :O

I was like BOOM ON YOUR BUTTS MINIONS!

Yea, it was awesome.

Thanks Emmi

I am used to getting yelled at, but sometimes it just makes me go 0.o

Oh I will. There will be LINKS I say. LINKS!

I just got yelled at by a customer cause I should have faxed something before I ever had the actual fax number.

Yea...that makes LOADS of sense! :P

I am trapped at work, inside the dreaded CUBICAL MACHINE. It seeks to sap my strength.

So far its working >.> I get out of here in 5 hours though. Not too bad. Got an hour long meeting, and Lunch still to go. So really, only 3.5 hours left when you factor those in.

God help me though, our software has gone CRAZY

Tonight I hope to begin....THE VIDEO REVIEWS OF MA ARCS!

Hopefully they come out ok. I think I am gonna need to shrink the size of the vid...or maybe not.

I may just get a second harddrive. NEED MOAR SPACE!

How is everyone?
