: : I remember that whole #zoom thing quite well. : : I still dont understand why it all of a sudden started working. : : *Shrugs shoulders* : Heh... : : I think you're right about the stereotypical RPGs. : : There are a crapload like that floating around. : What gets me is that most of them thing they're being : original, creative, on the cutting edge.. They're spewing : the same old junk... : : Its interesting to see new ideas spring up though and I've seen quite a few of those from people I've met here. : : Doing the same old thing gets old indeed... : You're right, it is.. Like TK's Whale Patrol with all the different : characters.. That was original.. Good Vs. Evil where good is evil and evil is just : misunderstood is not original, dark, new, fresh, it's bullshit.. Besides the fact : that it's wrong to begin with. There is a good, there is a evil, there is no gray : area. It's only when people twist the evil so much and start telling other people what : is good and what is not that it becomes gray. : : but on the flp side... : : I hate it when people try and do something as opposite of the norm as possible. : : I mean I am all for originality but you have to admit that there is a pattern for a reason. : : I really dont want to believe that its because people cant think of anything else. : : I guess I think its because people like that sort of story. : You're right; there's a difference between original and abstract. Ironically though, the abstract : often ends up being praised because of the "Kings New Clothes" princicpal: people don't want to look : stupid by admitting they don't understand it, so they just praise it and let it go at that. Originally, : though, all the "artist" did was throw paint on the canvas and know that people will act the way : they do. Not only it painting does this occur, but in most everything. We have to have the courage to : come out and say, "You just threw out the paint on the canvas" and state the obvious. : : ...ok..ok... : : There are a fair share of ripp-offs. I dont deny that, but similarity is not neccesarilly bad. : No, it's not... It's just I get so sick of these ideas about good and : evil... : : I dont think that fear of not being original should dispell potential game makers. : : Its something to keep in mind...just not to brood over. : I agree... : : Anyway, I'm not disagreeing with you. : : Your comments just got my mind churning. : Does the final result often taste buttery? : : ...although I have to admit... : : Even I worry about not being original enough. : : I guess thats why I made myself redo the tiles and cinemas. : Hmm.. I don't usually, unless they really suck.. Heh, oh well.. : : Oh well. : : "Do as I say, not as I do" : ;) : Mike
