Things on My Mind Datatrack 19

Posted by FightingSeraph - June 18th, 2010


1. Rhete: Even though I admire his programming skills, I think it's time for him to stop copying off of anime and learn basic artistic principles. (Examples: anatomy, perspective, values, color theory, etc.) Not to mention that it's ironic that he claims to hate sprite flash, but used sprites in his two latest games (Cock Block and Kock Kombat).

2. Noiserover: It's amazing that he manages to keep his flash optimized while having such great art, animation, and voice acting. For those who don't know who he is, he created The Undead in the vampires collection.

3. Egoraptor: I wish that this man's detractors would shut the hell up. Even though he is way overexposed, most of his detractors can't direct, draw, animate, voice act, write, or time comedy as well as he does. Therefore, unless somebody has a valid critique, they shouldn't be listened to. With that out of the way, as much as I like most of his stuff, I would like for him to broaden his horizons some more. Plus, I remember when he used to do custom sprites before he did Metal Gear Awesome.

4. Iraq: Look, I don't support the occupation anymore, but that is due to practical reasons. However, I do believe that going after Saddam was justified for good reasons. As for the bullshit oil argument that liberal dipshits continue to parrot incessantly: Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait for oil; both of the Bush guys invaded Iraq to Stop Saddam. Goddamn, can't the lame-ass leftists come up with a good argument against something without looking like the religious right.

5. Old Vector games: A lot of people may be familiar with Asteroids and Geometry Wars, but how many are familiar with Tempest, Gravitar, Space Duel, Cosmic Chasm, Omega Race, Spacewar, Atari's Star Wars arcade games, Major Havoc, etc.? It's too bad that there aren't enough people here making more flash movies in the style of these underappreciated gems. Plus, western companies at that time weren't the only ones doing these in the Golden Age of Video Games; Sega made a few of them as well such as Tac/Scan, the Star Trek arcade game, and Space Fury.

6. M-Bot the game: I really like how Mindchamber and Frosted Muffins did by mixing the Canabalt/G-Switch running and jumping mechanics with Philosoma-style shooting elements. However, the system requirements for that game are rather high for a flash game. On the other hand, I really dig the use of prerendered models for the graphics. As for MC comparing this to Zaxxon, an old Sega game that was released in 1982; it felt like Zaxxon 3D for the Sega Master System, but with a side view than the arcade Zaxxon.

7. Stick Figures: As much as I like the Stick Slayer series, I don't mind sticks as long as they have the content to back them up. I mean, if you're going to do something with stickmen at least come up with a good plot or a cool-looking fight to compensate for them.

8. Malapa's Challenge: Does anybody remember this game by Septimus by any chance? I enjoyed it back in 2001 and played it again a few months back. Well, it still was good as it was back in the day, but I think Septimus could have made it compatable with Flash 5+ players. Not to mention that he could have uploaded the music onto the Audio Portal.

Even though I admire your ability to write a lot of words that almost no one will read, I think it's time for you to actually make some kind of artistic contribution to this website.

What of all that "art" that you never submit, and your interest in doing voicework that your expressed to LiLg?
