I let everyone enjoy their fandom(s) as they see fit, I don't judge. But I like to poke good-natured fun ;)

It's not bias, I just don't believe a company is "running a sham" because they don't advertise that it's a PC redo of a crappy mobile game. It could be vastly better than the mobile version, but associating with that game is a death sentence. It's just marketing. Disassociate from failed products, associate with…

Anyone who played the original Everquest is likely to hear familiar sounds from that game all over the place. Mostly because they used a free common sound effect library for many sounds. I still have a little giggle every time Rose "levels up" in the series one finale of Doctor Who.

Someone said in another thread I was chatting in that the early show was very kid-focused but it widened its appeal in later seasons and spinoffs. I've only seen a handful of episodes on our junk Canadian Netflix with its limited selection. The only Pony stuff they had for my daughter was the first season of…

Ah, I'm just going off what I've seen on our limited Canadian Netflix. I think we just have the first season of Friendship is Magic. I figured it stayed the course from there.

On the one hand, much props for the Weeping Angel.

It's a massive gray area that pretty much boils down to "don't copy someone else's work; make it your own."

That Time of the Month

I've watched it with my daughter, the target demographic. Her and her brother like it, and I don't dislike it as much as some of the other kids shows... but I don't get the people saying it's all adult-level deep. It's all the same situation, mistake, outcome, lesson pattern of every kids show out there but with…

See what happens when you blink?

That game killed my original Dreamcast. I played it so much the CPU heatsink melted off. Since we were on dialup at the time, I didn't get to play online very much (I could share our dialup between computers, but not with the Dreamcast.) But I still had a blast with it.

I don't get it, either. I've seen some episodes with my daughter, the actual demographic for the show. She likes it, her brother is okay with it and I'm just wondering why adults are going nuts for this, besides as a "me too!" thing.

What's everyone's obsession with pulling definitions out of the "How To Argue For Dummies" handbook? Sheesh.

Or 3) Have a differing opinion than you. Shocking possibility, I know. Not everyone who disagrees with you is an idiot or a shill.

I would love to know which developers took a mediocre phone game, ported it to PC and loudly exclaimed that this new game was based on that older crappy phone game.

It seems sometimes like Steam is run by 10 guys out of one building with a bunch of contractors taking care of the infrastructure.

There are a lot of really opinionated people that take almost religious stances on how video games should be developed. In their mind, anything that fits on a phone is a crap game 100% of the time, and migrating it to PC is just a "cheap cash-in." Granted, the vast majority of the top titles are mindless garbage…

The tag system was never meant as a review system. It was meant to describe the game for people seeking similar games. Everyone started using it to troll any game they disliked, and even some popular games, branding Barbie games as hardcore, casual games as hardcore, etc. But yeah, naughty Steam for trying to bring…

Yeah, after all, we assumed it was a remaster of the original PS1 game because they... um... said... hm, wait.

"based on content" = tracks, cars etc. Not gameplay, code, campaign and features.
