Still alive

Sorry for the lack of updates. I'm going to be moving country again, so that's my excuse. If only Dualnames were still here with his zany wit. Oh well.

Anyway,

• CaptainD review Snakes of Avalon
• Cosmos Quest 4 Demo is out
• Calin and others have made their custom versions fo the AGS Editor after CJ released the source.
• Dave Gilbert posted interesting stuff in his blog (like THATS news!)
• New poll: please vote!
  

Panel poll

My commenter's wishes are my demands. Sometimes. New poll up on the fairness of the review panel. And I don't mean how attractive they are, as we all lust after Progz and LFish.

Forums...well?

Well, it's been bloody itching me the last few days quite a lot. Perhaps this should go on my personal blog, or on the gen-gen, but I rather have it here for reasons that don't really matter into being explained.

I've noticed that for the first time in 4 years I've been part of this community, the forums have been split. And for no reason.

-There are those who post and those who don't.

That's reasonable and it's the least thing that bugs me to be honest. However for the first time I can count the guys that post. And most of them are just the IRC guys. The IRC has grown and it's very active, but if those guys didn't post, the AGS forums would be seriously inactive for days. And that wouldn't happen the last June! I know Pumaman is terribly busy, and the times are hard...but..it just feels so weird.

-There are those who support the panel and those who think it should go down.

For those who support the panel, I think you're great guys, for those who don't, I'm seriously wondering.Would you bloody protest if you had 4 cups? or 5? And you were 100% sure you shouldn't have it? Why do you say that it's wrong getting a one man review on a game, when you a) don't protest when a site reviews your game well , b) you know that every panelist expresses his opinion when a rating is decided.

-Icey Games,Goldfish, Harg

Both of those guys would have been banned in terms of IP with half of their deeds in any forum. Why are we just expecting them to just go inactive? Goldfish went inactive, so did Harg(though some action was taken here), what's with IceyGames? Why do we let him roam and break the rules that we all know for any other member it wouldn't have taken a second thought to take some action?

-Can anybody share his opinion on what happened on August 2009?

After that month all the forum regulars have stopped posting.


These are my personal opinions, and have nothing to do with SSH, Leon and the BlueCupCritic.This is probably irrelevant to the AGS blog, but I respect its followers enough to post it.

Extreme MakeOver Deluxe: Troll Edition

Harg As a Rock

Not played, but they look interesting	11 (10%)
Not played, but Harg is a numpty	37 (33%)
Played them. They suck.	24 (22%)
Played them, they're OK	14 (12%)
Played them, they are AWESOME	23 (21%)

Okay so pole question: Harg, and his games. An interesting thing, people rather not play them because Harg is being who he is. Which is what Harg has been trying to avoid. Well, the more you try, sometimes the more you stray from your real target.

I doubt he'll agree here.

Lets decide this once and for all

OK, new poll up to try and decide whether Harg is justified in his upset about the game panel reviews of his games. Please be honest and vote on what you think and whether you have played them. NB this is not a poll on whether Harg has over-reacted, but rather on whether his games are good or not.

Narcissist Quest: To find a good review

Abandonia Reloaded have a review of Cosmos Quest 1. And Harg tells us here and here and how anyone who gives bad reviews is dumb.
