Cblogs of 5/2/09 and 5/3/09 + SilverDragonisms
CblogRecaps | 9:48 PM on 05.03.2009 23 comments



Ladies and gentlemen, mainly gentlemen, I present to you the entire collection of this weekend's community blogs, all packaged for you in one convenient location. Today's Cblog recap is brought to commercial free and without any pesky interruptions by me, your local resident dragon. Let me just way that a WHOLE LOT of people posted their first blogs this weekend, introducing themselves to our notorious community. If you get a chance, go and say hello and welcome them to our crazy home away from reality. Just don't let them know what they have gotten themselves into yet. They should have to figure that out all on their own.

So this week I finally began playing the new Prince of Persia game. After about 3 or 4 hours of play, I am thoroughly convinced that this entire game is just one huge Quick Time Event. I mean I don't have to think at all when I play this game. I just hit the right button when I'm supposed to and all the correct moves and animations are done for me. Everything from moving around the levels, to the boss battles, are all scripted. Now it's all done in a way that makes you think you are playing the game, but really you aren't at all. You are just pushing all the right buttons, in the right order that the game tells you to, like a good little lab rat. It's very disturbing, yet I find myself very interested in by the game. I can't seem to put it down. It's still very much fun to play, even if I am just playing a huge Quick Time Event. Maybe I'm just in the mood for a nice easy relaxing game that requires me to not think and instead just push buttons when I'm told to do so.

Let's gone on with this weekend's recap shall we ....

"This would get a lot more attention in the forums, which is where it belongs! "

I'm getting really sick and tired of this mantra. If you don't frequent the forums and you don't know how they work, stop talking about them. That wasn't a fucking thread worthy post, it was a garble of nonsense.

@Bwark-Kupo: I'm sorry that you don't agree with my opinion of that post, but don't assume that I don't understand how the forums work. I'm damn familiar with the forums, and I know exactly how they work. I don't appreciat your attitude, and if you have a problem with the way I do recaps then don't read them, but don't come in here and tell me how to do my job.

@SilverDragon1979

I'm not coming in here and telling you how to do your "job", I'm just asking that you stop directing low quality things like that to the forums. We have standards too, you know?

The only kind of attention that would get in the forums is people asking him to stop posting shit threads. If anything, you're hurting the guy by directing him there.

"I don't appreciate your attitude."

I'll talk however I damn well please. I don't appreciate you talking down to me. Relax sir, there's no reason for us to argue over the interwebs. If I had known it would upset you that greatly I wouldn't have even brought it up.

@Bwark-Kupo: You began this by talking down to me when you assumed I didn't knkow how the forus worked and where that post belonged. I simply returned the favor by talking the same way to you.

Now I never insinuated that his post was a bad one, or that it was poorly written. I simply stated it belonged in the forums, and that's not because it's a bad post, but because of the type of post it was. The author of the post asked a question and was trying to get some responses from the comunity. Typically I find this best place for this is the forums, because it can get a lot more attention in the forums where people are constantly having discussions.

In the cblogs it would quickly get lost in a couple of hours and no one would ever see it again. I don't see that as making accusations that the forums are full of low quality posts. I was just trying to help this guy out. I'm sory that you see that as hurting the guy.

I agree with Kupo.

The Forums don't consist of shitty one-liner bullshit boring topics. We don't need any random Boners in there fucking things up.

Sorry I couldn't cover for you last night, SilverDragon.

And I'm really tempted to go and get the new Prince of Persia, I love the old ones, and you can get the special edition for the exact same price as the regular game down at the Movie Gallery. Nice recap friend.

@Everyone: I would like everyone to know that when the recappers say that certain posts belong in the forums, we are not trying to say that the forums are where crappy blogs go to live and die. Please note that we do not look down on the forums. Actually we don't even understand where this whole "forums vs. cblogs" argument came from. Why this divide exists we don't even know, and whoever started it should be shot and burned.

When we say a cblog belongs in the forums, it's because we honestly think that the cblog would get a lot more attention in the forums. We are trying to help, not hurt. I apologize if we are giving the wrong impression, but I assure you that we are not trying to give the forums a bad name. I love the dtoid forums, and for completely different reasons then why I love the dtoid cblogs. I don't want to see crap get into the forums, the same way I don't want to see crap get into the cblogs.

@Molotov Cupcake:

Agreed. Lord knows we need real pornstars to take their place instead.

@SilverDragon: While I believe you are sincere in what you said, by titling the post This would get a lot more attention in the forums, which is where it belongs! and having it under the "Fail" section made it seem like the opposite of what you intended. Like Fail belongs in the forums. That's where Bwark-Kupo I believe is coming from.

But this is neither here nor there, just a misunderstanding. Now let's drink and talk games.

As usual Yojimbo is the voice of reason.

To be fair to Bwark-Kupo, there are many times when people post absolute crap that doesn't belong anywhere and are told "the forums are that way" which sucks because it implies that the people there wanna be inundated with junk posts that aren't good enough for the cblogs.

In this case though the post really wasn't bad it just wasn't a cblog and really should've been posted in the forums so it wasn't the best example to get upset about.

So, you're both right, hug and make up. I said hug Dammit!

You know what really grinds my gears? This voice of reason bullshit. For the record, nobody understands how the forums work. It's pretty much an eight sided die of cursing and insinuated homoerotica. You make an intro (or don't) and the rest is luck of the draw.

Free content.

Question:

To promote and discuss its content.

Question:
Why are you reading my comment, it isn't funny.

Also guys, forums are for this type of discussion. I mean really, come on.
