Re: Criticker board games

I didn't drop out because you criticized my argument. What practical result do you think can come from this conversation? They aren't going to separate board games from video games. If they were considering it, I'd continue the discussion as it might actually impact their decision. They aren't, so ...

Re: Games from Newgrounds(and other flash games)

Nah, that'd be like having no filter at all. Most flash game sites are clones of each other. Any new flash game gets instantly mirrored to hundred other sites, regardless of how popular the game is. That's irrelevant when you can just google "Pico's School" and you'll instantly get Pico's...

Re: Games from Newgrounds(and other flash games)

Why not, like, just google. lmao. It's not hard to tell if a flash game is legitimate or not since the overwhelming majority of them are featured on various host websites, most notably Newgrounds.

Different Versions of the Same Game

One of the pet peeves I have with adding games onto Criticker is that the mods seem to take issue with me separating handheld versions of the exact same title, even if they're completely different games. I've just put out Tarzan on the GBC to be added to the site, but I get the sense it's going to g...

Re: (very) old movies

I think you should be careful with how you give praise to the industry of the past because films were still a product. While it is true that films had become more "flashy," it'd be disingenuous to say that the industry at the time wasn't concerned with profit or marketability. It's why Hol...

Re: Who's on your Kumpel list?

I tend to put a lot of people on my kumpels because I like to read a variety of different views on the film. I don't like adding anyone who doesn't consistently write reviews as I feel a blank rating doesn't really say much. Which is why I try to make a review for everything I rate. Makes me curious...

Re: Your thoughts on IMAX?

IMAX is a weird thing for me because I usually find it to be trivial but there are occasions where it actually enhanced the quality of the film for me. For example, while I didn't like Dunkirk I thought IMAX made the use of sound in that movie feel more intense and gave a feeling of actually being i...

Profile picture Not Changing

Dunno if this is just me but attempting to change my profile picture doesn't work for me. Odd because it works fine before.

Re: What proportion of your ranked movies are by women?

OK, March, 2012: 2.85%, or 77 (of about 2700 or so). March, 2016: 3.36%, or 134 of 3993. March, 2018: 4.33%, or 200 of 4615. I didn't really plan to weigh in on the debate, but I'll say a few words anyway. Are movies "gendered" according to who directed them, or is it all the same...

Re: Do you change your ratings ?

I've done it plenty of times. In many cases, my first rating for something doesn't stick and I change it after putting more thought into how much I like something.
