See, this kind of evaluation is useful to me because it gives me some idea of what someone likes, and dislikes, and why, about a given piece of work. Its much more efficient than 'attaboy' or 'you suck'. :)

I believe thats what I've been getting at. Sure, other peoples millage may vary, and they are free to disagree with my assessment. Doesn't bother me in the slightest. :) Let me be clear though. I believe anyone may offer an opinion on any subject. Whether or not I, personally, will consider it...

Well, in my opinion that is the case. I think its reasonable, that in order to offer an opinion one must be able to provide a better example in a manner that at least appears informed. There are lots of folks better than myself out there, I'll freely grant that. Which is why I'll spend more...

I wouldn't presume to offer an opinion on good game design, simply because I haven't actually designed and published one. I don't play games based on critique of their 'design', something, as I said, I am not qualified to address. I play games based on whether the folks I am gaming with can...

Sure, as I mentioned in the first place, its subjective. But if one is going to offer a truly valid critique, one ought to be able to go beyond such pejoratives as 'it's horrible', as laughable as that assessment was. :)

Well, thats the thing, there are reasons why 'art director' is a different position than 'editor'. And I find the biggest problem that movie, literary and art critics have is that they tend to be none of the above. How can one reasonably expect to offer an even handed assessment of the merits...

The two questions are perfectly valid. Its reasonable to ask what experience someone brings to the table when questioning their value judgments. ^_^

*chuckles* Remarks like this always tickle me. Granted, art taste is purely subjective, but critiques like the above tend to be without any useful merit, not to mention laughable. Constructive and informative reasoning would go a long way to explaining the above remark, otherwise it falls into...

Wont get an argument from me. :cool:

Good art is only possible with good models. I am fortunate to have friends who not only are avid gamers, but come complete with their own weaponry, and are complete narcissists. :D I'll be putting out a sketchbook one of these days. More important projects are in the hopper than my own vanity...

Just thought I'd point out, just as an fyi, but the above link seems to take one to a 404 error page It appears the link has been absconded with by kender. All in the interest of trying to be helpful. :)

Is that short for Cantankerous and Constipated? :lol: :p

Certainly, personality is a reason to decide who to game with. It ought not to factor in what system one uses, IMHO anyhow. I'll play any game with a group of good people. :)

*smiles* The folks at TLG would like to make it clear that we consider fanatics of any sort completely crazy. :D Especially those radical artists *coughs* who fanatically draw cute fantasy girls. :lol: Peter B Art Trolllord.

I never understood the hysterics myself. What does it matter what someone is having fun doing? Sure, I'd like folks to buy the stuff I am involved in, but it wont hurt my feelings if people don't find it to their taste. Seems like a silly thing to loose sleep over honestly. :cool: :D

Err...why? Because Steve thought the comment, that was made on our boards mind, was funny? Sure, its the same kind of humor one finds in pie in the face jokes. Not so funny for the recipient, but funny for everyone else. I find the constant back and forth amusing (if ofttimes pointless) as all...

Well good then. One of the design parameter's worked out at least. :)

I believe something like that is in the offing as well. When? I can't say specifically, simply because I don't know. Keep a weather eye out. :)

If you haven't made it over to the new forums, your welcome to join any time. All we did with the old forums was send out a message letting people know of the move. None of us are technically adept enough to bring the membership list from ezboard to a pbb forum. Diverse opinions are always...

*chuckles* I'm just making the point that, like the other troll lords, I don't take myself, gaming or much else too seriously. ^_^ I'm just as happy to meet friendly folk at cons and the like just to prove how much more weird I can be in person. ^_^ And for some informational posting. There...
