Re: Erik Twice | Do critics enjoy negative criticism?

Some additional grist for the mill... Criticism isn't just about analysis and making recommendations; it's also about entertainment. A more entertaining review is going to draw more eyes than a bland review, regardless the actual criticism contained in the review. Thus critics must skirt a line bet...

Re: Erik Twice | Do critics enjoy negative criticism?

Prueba1Ego.jpg It’s often said that critics enjoy writing negative reviews. At least, it’s a common stereotype of critics in media, which are often depicted as tearing up the protagonist’s work and enjoying every minute of it. Of course, that’s a clear exaggeration.

Re: Mouse recommendations?

I got a Zowie FK1. Best mouse I've owned. It's incredibly solid, truly high-quality product without any of the "gamer cool" trappings of other mice.

Re: 2019 Gaming Goals and Resolutions

My big resolution is to try writing on a professional manner for some time and see if I can actually make it work. Her's the thing: I feel I have had and keep having a lot of opportunities. I write articles and they hit well, I can tell people are interested and when I do write regularly, my views d...

There are no scanlines to lose, no lag, no big issues like there is with consoles and TVs. Sure, it's not perfec...

Re: Random Thoughts Thread

Talk with them mate. You want to speak with that person, why not give it a try? You can't lose anything after all :)

If they don't pick their phone much try to write them a message on Facebook or Whatssap or the like.
