Selective Permeability in Games
UnrealClock | 7:16 PM on 11.18.2008 14 comments


In just a few seconds of looking around there seems to be an all out hate war I've blocked out for the past few years. There are people who go out of their way to stand over others with their falsified cock-sizes and taunt others undeniable love for something that objects to another's wants, and with this brings up the idea of the selective permeability that needs to be injected into the back of everyone's skull. If you don't like something it isn't all that difficult to merely take a small side-step and walk around this new world you don't quite grasp entirely, or something that offends you. Odds are, and this is the honest-to-god general likelihood, you're being over reactive. There are a lot of things to talk about in a negative fashion, but in truth we find people missing a point. You're not critiquing the correct portion of a product. An example about a good comment against a good game would be something like this. A bad example would be something along the lines of "SHIT GAME, LONG CUTSCENES!". Now I'll say that I've never once played MGS5, but I know in full certainty that an optional moving story line with tie-ups for a shit load of questions should in no way affect your enjoyment of a game. I feel odd ranting, but its all there is to do when you're talking about video games. Rant.

"5: go away and never blog anymore." Not the best way help foster community growth :P

Welcome to Dtoid UnrealClock! You're post does have some issues, but it's still far less fail then my first one was. MEE's first 3 (and fourth ;) tips are good advice, and I'm sure the next one will be great :D

oh and I wrote this for what I thought to be vaguely comical reasons, but whatever. its a social commentary no one seems to get.
Puppy Licks's Destructoid Blog
...so you didn't bring dip?
CelicaCrazed's Destructoid Blog
Let me slap you in the face with my cock a few times and see if it's falsified!! Haha yeah just throw up a pic and space it out a bit and you'd have a decent write up

Oh and Welcome to Dtoid. If we seem like dicks at first, it's because we love you and want to weed out the weak before they get to comfortable :P
Skribble's Destructoid Blog
Nice little rant. I wholeheartedly suggest splitting this in to 2 paragraphs and including at least 1 picture. As I tell most new bloggers, you get a much better reception by using 1 picture every 1-2 paragraphs; it breaks up tl;dr text walls and makes your whole blog a lot more attractive.

Welcome to dtoid.

As for the core of your rant, it's something that most of us are well aware of, and unfortunately it's something that almost everybody has to learn by themselves. It's hard to take criticism, and if you aren't used to it then you aren't going to accept someone saying "You should do this and this because you are wrong".

The best course of action is to keep ignoring it :) Play games, have fun and enjoy yourself, because in the end thats all that really matters!

MEE, learn to be a dick. Because you're not very good at *trying* to be one.
UnrealClock's Destructoid Blog
in all honestly people still don't seem to get the subtle clues I threw in. Its all true, but I just figured anyone careful could see some subtle clues to get the punchline.
