I really bring down the hammer on a few of the mods around here and several games in this article upon request: My thoughts on game design, gameflow, metagaming, and how to create gameplay that won't die out in a few goes around the wheel.

Nothing I say here is meant to be an attack on modmakers or individuals, but rather taking their work as examples as to why I personally feel they do not reach their potential.

Show them your butt, and when you do, slap it so it creates a sound akin to a chorus of screaming spider monkeys flogging a chime with cacti. Only then can you find your destiny at the tip of the shaft.

Great article, I'll be sure to take a lot of those points into consideration.



If anything cool is ever going on Skype me up under the name "blarghle"

I'm not sure how much of what I have read I have actually remembered, mostly because I'm so damn tired. However, I do know that your articles were quite... passionate, one could say. They were quite humorous, too. IskatuMesk bashing something is always fun to see/read.

BASHME, OHYES--- What? I have no idea what just happened. I'm not masochistic.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

NudeRaider -- Symmetry
Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
