Howdy All... During my time off I exalted other forums
Howdy All... During my time off I exalted other forums & made new friends!
http://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Rain-Playst ... B002CZ38KA
I have been posting there under Dr. Ranger McCoy, talking about the future of exalted games with Gold 45 Revolver showdowns and such, and lamenting, along with you guys, the lack of true story and interactive narrative in games.
Feel free to copy and paste any of the topics I started over there in this thread, which you feel merit further discussion and deliberation.
I imagine you guys will be laughing reading through some of those threads over there--both @ me and with me. Happy to entertain with some Heavy Rain call outs!
And hey Steve et al.--I never meant any offense--I love & respect you guys & all that you're doing & I appreciate you guys giving me--a virtual outsider--the time of day even. Rock on!
To sum up my work @ amazon.com:
"Well, if you're interested in exalted story & manly gameplay in which your choices and rugged, manly actions matter and affect the outcome of the game, then it seems heavy rain kinda sux.
Edge 7/10: "general skeleton of the story cannot truly be changed, cheapening every event in the process."
thesixthaxis.com 7/10: "empty. ...THE STORY IS SET IN STONE... "it's not a game... certainly doesn't play like one"
Guardian Review: "players' input often turns out to be of negligable importance; certain things always pan out in a certain way."
GamesRadar.com 7/10: Heavy Rain "fails, hard" at Narrative. "gratuitous, schlocky and unoriginal story"
Destructoid: 7/10: "very rarely does your input matter" "the story is so terrible"
lozlzl x 5!!
a quintiple lozlzlzlz!!"
I think you guys are generally closer to exalting story than does Heavy Rain.
Rock on!
Be fun to discuss how Sony/Quantic seems to be falsely hyping the player's ability to effect the story.

Thanks Steve,
Yes--the amazon participants are indeed calling me a lot of names and participating in ad hominem attacks while h8ing on the the exalted future of gaming, and I appreciate that you are dedicated to keeping these forums free of such sordid, unbecoming behavior. Some of the attackers seem to be employed by major corporations, and we must never let corporate entities censor free speech and exalted thought.
I'm just making sure that when all that I have so far proposed, which continues to be so roundly belittled and crucified by so many in the industry, is finally adopted in tomorrow's exalted, classical games, I will receive the credit. It might be a year or two... but it will happen. :)
Best &TGIF! :)

ool! For some odd reason my posts are the definitive posts on this forum in views, responses, and overall popularity. I would estimate that they define 80% on this board. :)
Wherever I post, my ideas generate record-setting response.
Surely this is of some value to the ailing industry!
I feel people are at least getting used to me and my ideas, as over time, they will not be considered so novel, but rather "common sense."
Historically speaking, it does attest to the common journeys walked by Socrates and so many innovators who were persecuted before their ideas were adopted and generated untold wealth in assorted institutions.
Again, thanks for your time in moderating this forum & providing a yet another cool forum for my ideas.
Best, :)

Well yes, as I graduated with honors from Princeton and hold a Ph.D. from UNC where both my teaching and research won prestigious awards, I can assure you that my posts are of the highest quality.
Few, if any, have thought longer and harder about the future of games as art in the exalted context of the Masters--Homer, Dante, Moses, Socrates, Aristotle, and Virgil.
And over the past eight months or so, my quality posts have been making waves, now and then inspiring uncontrollable emotions, which is the way it has ever worked, ever since Prometheus stole fire from the gods and was punished.

Also wanted to thank you guys for cleaning up these forums!
There were a lot of libellious posts filled with snark, libel, slander, and ad hominem attacks directed my way, which are now gone.
I did manage to get screenshots of said screens befopre they were deleted, as in order to prove innovation, one must show that one's ideas run counter to the experts'.
Also, in case anyone involved with these boards ever uses my ideas, it will be fun to share such posts with the world, along with the fact that I was banned from these boards, even with such horrendous, libellious things being said about me. Nobody stood up for me, and everyone just watched on. :(
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher (1788 - 1860)
Thanks again for cleaning up these boards and setting a higher standard for future discourse!!

Hello Steve--are your above words not a backhanded attack?
I am trying to keep things civil here.
I merely pointed out that my ideas/words/posts have generated the most interest, dialogue, and discourse here.
And then you come in with a back-handed insult implying that there is a lack of quality in my threads.
Could you please delete your above attack in the spirit of the more exalted direction of these forums?
Thanks!
You also write,
While the Amazon.com participants may have had a much lower tolerance for your particular brand of vitrol, we here on these forums have tried to extend you ever courtesy. However, based on your behavior here, you have used up your ability to wander 'off the reservation' on these forums.
My only behavior here has been attempting to exalt a renaissance in games and gaming. Over at amazon anonymous attackers are accusing me of having been touched by my father, while over at neogaf the industry insiders likened me to the man who shot up the holocaust museum which is painful as my mother is a holocaust survivor, and then the industry insiders banned me. I just keep on with my exalted prose, which by the way, is also dominating over at amazon, due to its quality and ability to exalt and inspire.
You engaged in much libel, slander, and ad hominem attacks earlier on in this forum, and I have saved the screenshots of you doing so. Thank you for deleting it.
You also banned me.
You also deleted posts of mine with pictures with gold 45 revolvers in them, while you yourself posted random gifs, which are still there.
You now write,
Let me clarify, since you don't seem to be following me:
I will not stand for your:
*blatant ad hominem attacks.
*backhanded attacks.
And then, in the same thread, you snark,

Backhandedly implying that my content-inspiring posts are of low quality is not civil, and it constitutes a back-handed attack of the highest order.
I hope that as this forum evolves in a more exalted manner, that you adhere to your rules.
Indeed--who will watch the watchmen?
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? is a Latin phrase from the Roman poet Juvenal, which is literally translated as, "Who will guard the guards themselves?" The saying has since been used to explore the question of where ultimate power should reside, or alternately, the problem of ultimate power. Some forms of government attempt to solve this problem through separation of powers (the government of the United States is one example). As long as the "watchers" are a small and potentially corruptible group, the question asked is a sort of paradox, and perhaps an example of infinite regress.

You guys could thank me for creating numerous threads of interest, but instead you consistently greet my work with snark, back-handed attacks, and banning. I do appreciate you deleting the older posts with much of the virtriol and ad hominem attacks and snark, and I hope that you can also delete the above back-handed attack. Thanks!
