Story of My Life, In One Easy To Digest Sentence

From this week’s Escapist:

Ranting on a videogame blog is like standing up in a church service and telling people how great God is and what a tricky fellow Lucifer can be.

    Problem is some “bloggers” use similar copy as mainstream Entertainment media, which doesn’t translate well to games. Just reading movie reviews makes me sick half the time because they’re so trashy.

    Unless you post about RMT. Then you’ve opened the can of worms and religious battles begin!

    Ranting about ranters on video game blogs is like talking to your fellow athiest buddies and telling them how logical it is that there is no god and what a power-hungry fear-driven cult christianity can be.

    But the comment does speak volumes… Who is Lucifer anyway? The game, developers/publishers, corporation, or the players?

    People hate freedom :(

    Most MMO message boards are power-hungry fear-driven cults, too. But not as much as Christianity and other religions. :)

    10 people on an island need to do a project. 10 all discuss the project.

    7 agree on a way of doing it 3 do not.

    Of those 7, 2 actualy do hard work and get the project done.

    Of those 5 of the 7, each try to take credit for what the 2 did.

    The other 3 who didn’t agree, complained the job wasn’t done right or took too long to do it and said they would have done it better.

    Welcome to Humanity

    Personally, I comment less these days partly because I am working and playing more, and partly because so much of games in general and MMOs in particular is art rather than science, and execution rather than ideas. Neither of those can be aided by observation, only by effort and inspiration, which come primarily from the developer. What then can the fan, no matter how well informed or articulate, say or do to aid that process?

    In many churches, that’s the whole point. You go to hear the guy talk about God is great and the Devil is bad.

    It’s called “preaching.” And there’s no logic about it. That doesn’t stop it from being done.
