Oh yay, Podunkian wrote another 5 pages of his essay to justify the things he said and did. Why don't take a good look at what you wrote? It all started when awesomeasapossum said this: "Do the games that have parodied other games get points for originallity? I can see it going both ways...? It started here, NOT in the comments of the games. You're reaction to that was an angry tinted comment in the sense of "You're completely wrong, you don't know anything, my game was mentioned here and there"
This reaction was so childish, and all I said was: Well, it is quite a complicated matter. The fact that you took MGS and gave it your own Christmassy twist is original, but you can't deny that the game concept is still Hideo Kojima's work.
Your reaction to that was even more immature and you started belittling my game all of the sudden. It's AFTER that I got upset and wrote my 'candy cane' response. Because you were so insulted(?) and irritated, even though awesomeasapossum and I only wrote a neutral comment.
"OOOOOOH LOOK AT HOW SIMILAR THIS GAME IS TO THIS OTHER GAME THAT WAS CREATED (THAT IT IS OBVIOUSLY PARODYING) I HOPE IT DOESN'T GET ANY POINTS DOCKED OFF FOR ORIGINALITY! *WINK* *WINK*"
Don't be so paranoid. Take another look at our first comments. Do those imply that we hope you get less points? awesomeasapossum and I both like you're game, and I never intended to insult you or hope that your game gets less points in originality. I'm very sure awesomeasapossum thinks the same way.
here's the extend of my bashing:
"the graphics are nice, but the gameplay is painfully generic, don't you think? it would have been nice if the game were a bit more christmasy instead of being a generic platformer with christmas tacked on."
"hahaha, this game is cool, the presentation is....etc.
You're comments in the downloads are fair and irrelevant to this matter. It's your posts here in the forums that's bothering me.
Why am I writing a full page now too? Because I'm really disappointed in you Podunkian. I thought you were pretty cool (seriously) and didn't think you'd be such an emo about this. I'm almost tempted to call you arrogant, but for now I'll just call you self confident. I was hoping you'd apologize for you're behaviour, but knowing you I'm guessing that won't happen, and another long post is probably going to follow after this ~_~
EDIT: I really didn't want them disqualified it's just the only way I think I can win.
I lolled at that.
Jesus fuck. Even if pod's been a bit overboard (and honestly I don't give a shit about this drama), you can't seriously expect internet people to care if you're "disappointed" in them.
Ha! I was serious about that. I don't care if he cares, but it's a relevant point for me to write this kind of post.
I seriously think Podunkian is one of the best, but when you see him, like Hayo said, 'run around here crying like a little girl', yeah that pretty much changes ones vision about that person.
Hernan I do feel the same which is why in my second post to this whole fiasco I wrote this:
I'm sorry if I've offended you or anything because I didn't mean to at all, I was just wondering. I like your game a lot and it has got me interested in Metal Gear Solid.
