OMG it’s been a year
April 16, 2010
To the little who care to follow my dumb ass weblog a year ago might ask the questions on why the hell was there no fucking update for almost a year… the story is short and simple… i write blog, want to post blog, webpage timed out, blog with more than 700 words lost, piss off, stop blog… tadaa
now some of you might ask me, why restart? Short answer: I forgot what’s it like to have an output…
anyways back to why I’m posting… what is so important that finally I am to start this thing which i have left to rot for nearly a year. The topic in hand is… casual gamers… Let me start off by saying that most of you reading this might be a casual gamer. What is a casual gamer you ask? Well, if you play pussy ass games like Bejeweled, you are a sorry ass casual gamer ( I’ll just simplify this to CS as in c**k sucker), if you don’t know what debug mode you are a CS ( its okay if you don’t actually play games, but if a gamer plays game and doesn’t know what debug mode is, you are a CS), if your idea of a multiplayer game is on Facebook you are a CS, if you are a man and you don’t know what Blizzard is, you are a CS, if you play with your Iphone apps game more than you play real games ( that’s right ppl, Iphone do not have real games despite popular beliefs) you are a CS, and the list goes on and on…
Why am I pissed of with casual gamers? It is because they are the majority… yes that’s right, I am not pro democracy when it comes to my games… my made up statistics (although might be accurate) says that the ratio of core gamers to casual gamers are 1 to 5.
So what if there are more casual gamers than ore gamers? It’s not like it’s doing any harm to you…
To people who seriously wants to say that, please shut the fuck hell up… You don’t know crap about this so don’t bullshit me that you know…
I’ll give you an example on how this is screwing with core gamers: One phrase says it all… Modern Warfare 2… you know what I’m talking about… this game removes the ability to create your own map and instead if you want new maps for the game, you can BUY THEM… yay capitalism… this is cause casual gamers would pay and so the game companies charge a fee for something we could actually get for free if this was 2005…
Enough of this big picture scenario… on to why this affects me personally… I’m a Games Design student, and this semester i got stuck with some shit ass assignment about casual games where the lecturer is a casual gamer and demand I do casual games… games like the Iphone Pocket God… google it… when you see it, you can see it is not even a fucking game… its an app where there is a tropical like island, and you can add natives there, dump them into the sea, fling them into a volcano, see them eat fish and change the night and day of the game… wtf is that… that is not a game… that’s a freaking screen saver… and this is what games have evolve to…
To put it in summary, game industries are like the music industry… the old days is where the true beauty of the art was, now its just a way to screw your mom into giving you more money to buy the next in thing so you won’t be an outcast to your peers… crap it’s been a long time since I rage online
P/S: I hope the next entry won’t be in another year time
first to comment. congratulations.
