Things I hate about modern gaming: stories. Courtesy of Maddox. If you've visited The Best Page in the Universe, you'll know not to take it overly serious.

That's Maddox? I'm underwhelmed.

To Scale: The Solar System

On a dry lake bed in Nevada, a group of friends build the first scale model of the solar system with complete planetary orbits: a true illustration of our place in the universe.

Worth a look.

Youtubers in a nutshell. What a fucked up world

Youtubers in a nutshell. What a fucked up world

Yep!

I want you to compare these two Let's Plays for Jurassic Park: Trespasser

Garbage Let's Play

Intelligent Let's Play with genuinely interesting commentary about the game.

The morale of the story is, if you don't have anything to say, stop making them. I highly recommend watching how the two behave around the introduction to the physics engine portion.

Let's Play one says, "There isn't much to say about this..it's pretty dull."

and Let's Play two says, "Here is the level, the voice of our main character is Minnie Driver. Here you can see the developers use a prerendered splash animation for rocks in water. They used tricks like this to work around the limitations of technology at the time."

Let's Play one says, "Let's look at her BOOBIES TATAS, JUBBLIES, JUGS!"

Let's Play two says, "Since there is no HUD, the developers attempted to convey health in a different way, which wasn't the mos effective."

Let's Play one says, "There is all this junk here in this area. It's not important."

Let's Play two says, "This is where the developers introduce you to how their physics engine works. Objects have weight that determine your ability to lift things, how much damage they do to you if they hit you and how the react when you jump on them. This also introduces you to the hand mechanic, which was their attempt at making the game seem more real, but was ineffective for many reasons."

Let's Play one has nothing to say about the game and Let's Play two fills the entire length of the game with intelligent commentary about the developers, Spielburg's work on the game, how the mod community has shaped the game and showing off various secret sound clips unused in the game. One stinks, but has thousands of views. The other is incredibly interesting and entertaining and has thousands of views. Which would you prefer to watch.

You're never going to let that game go, are you?

Crono, you and I both know that I never let go of games with vision and potential!
