Basically.

I mean, I just don't understand how a point couldn't be brought home with less paragraphs.  I think I might read it, and format it, to fit in under ten paragraphs, yet still bring home the major points.

I found this quote Ironic:

While I think this opinion is a bit ridiculous (seriously, there's nothing wrong with someone actually going into depth and backing up their opinions for once. It's a persuasive essay, and Malstrom takes it seriously), I am getting all ittle sick of Malstrom's articles. He pretty much just repeats himself every time he posts a new article. I mean, there's nothing he said since "Birdman" that can't be extrapolated from that article. Disruption, upmarket movement, the distortion of what "casual" means, he said it all then, and hasn't added anything new since.

DJMeisterJ, he goes into detail so that counter arguments are already addressed. If you just write your point and don't back it up then it's a piece of cake to fill it with holes and you'd end up writing another article just to defend your first article or clarify certain implications.

Lol this is the funniest post I've read in a long time.When I started reading this thread sc was happy about this and then I read your post and I started laughing lol.

Lulz. Another good quote "Only Nintendo or Blizzard are willing to delay a game until its "done".

Okay, sure.

There's a big difference between Malstrom and his relatively short articles and very basic language, and what he's talking about--massively long articles written in an incredibly obtuse rhetorical style. That's academic/theortical essays, and they bear almost no resemblence to Malstrom's writing style.

err Rol he deletes those articles after a while.. although you've missed nothing because I believe he puts them into archive by month.

I'm gonna read the whole thing!

In your face Dmunster.

He then says "Your game is broken if it has a tutorial". I distinctly remember playing Zelda: TP and getting the wooden sword, and the little girls and boys telling me how to strike. So basically, Zelda: TP is a broken game.

Good thing I know that now. I won't be finishing that game.
