| Does anyone still remember the uproar caused by the idea Blizzard had of displaying people's real life names on the forums? Well, it seems a YouTube user decided to document the historical reference in the video to the left. On one hand, I found it to be kind of a bad joke. On the other hand, it did make me laugh. It is not recent, but, if you missed it, it might provide you with a good humor moment too.I challenge any German user to keep up with the subs. ;D |

Based on ancient Guild repeating cannons, but since the Guild technology was long gone, this was the best approximation. However ineffective bureaucracy delayed the production of this fearsome weapon and before it could see the field of battle, the war ended and orc were driven away. So cyclone cannons sank in oblivion and those few prototypes were gathering dust in secluded warehouses scattered through the land. Until now. Dark times are approaching and reviving this almost forgotten weapon can greatly increase the chance for survival and fight the evil."

| Hypercommentsby RuiEuropean consumer society a report of development and clientele stances |
| The case of WarCraft III's scene, however, is enigmatic and paradoxical. There are several prisms through which we can assay the stage of things, all of which constitute a distinct possible issue, remaining modding constraints aside. I identify the problem to be people playing bad maps. No doubt GHosts play a factor into this: when looking for DotA, you will find many and I do mean a lot of empty lobbies, a fact that is quite puzzling: why make a GHost++ host a DotA when there are so many lobbies already? Moreover, why not take down the bot when it is clear the games aren't running? By oneself I am unable to respond to this, but the owners should consider that their proliferation obscures other games that could otherwise get more attention. On one hand, it is sad to see that TDs keep being produced while this type of map is so explored already. MeTooism, as defined by VGsatomi? Maybe. On another thought, many bots remain online because there are actually people who are playing these games. Which is disconcerting. Over the course of a decade, I simply cannot believe that all we have accomplished is DotA, Vampirism and a couple of cheap TDs, but this is what you conclude at first sight when looking at Europe's custom game list. Yes, to blame may be the bad tastes of Europeans and the most aggravating is that the paradigm has been settled for quite a few years. Yes, they are Europeans; not only were favo(u)rite the cheap TDs and DotA even before the GHosts arrived (and therefore there is no inter-realm hosting excuse), but also, just to give an example, you'll find mostly Americans playing TKoK or Roleplaying (RP) maps (read: when you do see them being hosted). Parallel to this is the incapability of these maps to rise and, most worrying, the new ones as well. For example, I remember writing a review for a map in which you'd combine several elements and play with the spell's effects, AoE or damage -- this map was incredibly fun and it never received any attention at all. The same happens to most other maps. Is it possible that our consumer society is incapable of playing maps that are only a little better than totally simplistic and childish?Camões wrote in The Lusiads that the lack of interest for art and literature contributed for writers to lose inspiration. Which is to say that no doubt WarCraft III is decaying and will continue to do so, but the lack of interest for actually good maps may be largely responsible for the acceleration of that process. |
This month's Liked | Patch 1.4.3 for StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. Adding an upgrade to the Fleet Beacon that increases the range of protoss Phoenixes by 2 is genial and the units are now actually worth getting to fight mutalisks; a humble player suggested it in one of those threads filled with gibberish (it appears Blizzard either had the same idea or listened to this user). | 
|
Thumbed down this month | On February 24, I entered a game of "The Kingdom of Kaliron", an ORPG. One fellow loaded a 34level Ranger and took the new hero of a friend of his all the way up to lv13 and into Jahara. The Pyromancer meanwhile picked all the loot, even stuff he didn't need, and neither of them did, pardon the expression, give a crap about the two other players, all the while communicating to none but themselves. A philosophy that'd make an object for severe critiques, illustrated to the right (nicknames have been erased, all but that of the controller of the new Pyromancer; if you don't want your nickname displayed here, perhaps you should consider not protagonizing this sort of situations). |
