Duct tape is like 'The Force'. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together

I personally still think that some of you people don't think enough about the creators. They have put so much effort in it, which is something a lot of people will never be able to do so themselves. And of course, some people can. Alec did it too, and even if he made this wonderful game, he's still human.
Anyway, to my point before I contradict myself again... I can't speak for Alec, I know that, but I've seen enough reactions of him that I can say he is really tired of all the criticism/'debating'/complaining/flaming his game is getting.
Be careful on what you say and do. Would you, if you had the possibility, go back in time and kick Leonardo da Vinci in the balls because you didn't like the Mona Lisa? Besides the obvious response: "I certainly would, because I can."... I, myself, would not.

Also, silver gives a very good tip, one that... about 90% or so of the people on the internet doesn't do. Think out your post before you send it.

And Xiagan, WHY DID YOU END WITH DOESN'T, EH?

To not add something to the discussion. It was at doesn't and I left it at doesn't. :)

I agree with you about Alec. Although you really shouldn't take any criticisms personally, there will always be some flaw that needs fixin' and always some jackass to exploit the existence of said flaw.

Also Alpha, Xiagan had an equal amount of does and don'ts.  ;) (he did start with a 'does')

Aw crap, Xiagan types faster than I do.  :)

Of course, but a good story is not a flaw.

And no, I'm not taking anything personally, just like no one else here, I'm just also just outing my opinion, right?

Also, if it wasn't obvious by the shifty eyes, I was making a joke, Xiagan. =p

But if we can't give constructive criticism here, where can we give it?
Or just have a debate on something that is ever so slightly related.

as this discussion was going on it seemed to me to be one of the more intelligent and thoughtful conversations about the game yet, I have no idea what set Alpha off. without dissecting the thread, it seemed to be more of an objective evaluation of gaming and story mechanics then specifically dogging Aquaria and it's creators, why take it so personally?

I do think out my posts before I send them. That's why I don't respond much to your posts; I opt to hit X instead of Post.
Perhaps we just have very different backgrounds.

Is always possible, but, to make things a bit more... mild, I said in my first post that it could just be ignored if you just liked 'talking' about Aquaria. I was only adding my opinion, eh?

Well, yes, I didn't take offense and think you were trying to boss me around or anything, but it just bothers me when people protest against something that's at least decently written out (as opposed to "omg the controls sux") merely because it's a negative comment.
I've seen way too many fanbases go all "omg its so awesome!" at something that's really rather mediocre, half of them just being nice to the author, then cuss and boo and throw poo at anyone who disagrees.

I believe everyone who compliments Alec's creation is justified in doing so, but for now, lets have some more constructive dialog. My eyebrows are singed.  ;)

That's more like it.  ;) I'd like that in a future patch, but it's Alec's prerogative.

I'm still missing the destructive parts of this whole thread before subjectivly discussing flaming came up.
