I've been here for about half a year now, and I think I've read a good majority of your reviews. Within that time, I have always seen your reviews at the top of the user reviews page (whenever you made new reviews). When your review is constantly at the top for everyone to see, you cant help but get a good amount of attention. You also know as well as I do that you are very much into bumping threads. Making 2-4 bumps per review (excluding replies), waiting to reply to posts (then posting on ones before it to disguise another bump), as well as editing out a "final bump" so that you can make another bump. That's quite a lot of bumpin' if you ask me.D_987 said:
Now you seem to be taking it as an insult at this point, but I really have nothing against bumping (I am an avid bumper myself). It's just a fact that I'm stating that it has helped to get you the attention you do get. I could care less about who gets more attention than the other, but you are in complete denial if you really think that your use of bumping is not a key factor. Trust me, there is no reason for me to have anything against someones method to gaining success. If everyone could get a high amount of attention by bumping, that would actually be great.
If you don't like them - don't read them, - doesn't bother me; I don't know why you constantly reply to them if this is how you feel...ultimatechance said:
See the point above.
Really? I don't believe that for a second, look at the massive paragraph you just wrote all about it...
So when I try and have a decent conversation with you, you go and take things too personally and start crying about it.D_987 said:
1. Do you not get what average means? I think I'm average, as well as you and MANY other people here. There are also plenty of people here that I think are terrible, while there are only so many that I can consider as great (NewClassic, Maet, etc). So because I dont praise you to be great, you take it as an insult. You have a long way to go my friend, especially considering how hard it is for you to take in real criticism.
2. "Care less" isn't the proper phrase then, seeing how I do contradict myself when I say that it would be great if everyone here got a large amount of attention, even if it was by bumping.
Stop living by the "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all" outlook, which I find kind of funny saying to you, seeing how I never really had anything mean to say either.
Exactly my point - the word average in itself is open to interpretation - what you may considor average I may not; I believe your reviews to be above average - therefore I have lower standards than yourself - its subjective.ultimatechance said:
Besides which, how can text be seen as "crying" - I've never understood that comment...so because I dispute your comments I'm seen to be crying?
So let me clarify a few things then.D_987 said:
Average = good, but flawed in my eyes. I think that we are on par with each other based on what I've read, but I obviously still had some criticism to give.
And when I say "crying", I am talking about your offended reaction to my post that had the potential to be something offensive, but really wasn't at all. Nothing I said in this thread was meant to piss you off (excluding last post), or even remotely offend you, I was just being honest in the nicest way I could, and it kinda irritated me when you somehow managed to escalate it to the point that we are at now.
My definition is completely different, which might explain the confusion.ultimatechance said:
You have your answer in bold - people read text differently within their own heads. If you meant no offence then fine, but that wasn't the impression I gained originally.
Ultimatechance, just leave it. You're simply falling prey to his bumping masterplan (as am I)

D987, I think you're taking this a little too personally. I wasn't sure if you took my earlier comment the wrong way, but you certainly have with ultimatechance's, although you appear to have come to some kind of resolution. As a general User Review member, your reviews are well above average, but the obvious amount of effort you put into the review puts you into a different category of somewhat more "serious" (for lack of a better term) reviewers among whom you are somewhat average in many respects. Of course, all this is judging by this review which is the only one of yours I have read so far.
Cor, all this for stating that these reviews buck a very common trend, and speculating on how. And not even expressing those thoughts in a negative manner.

Eh, it really is fine with me.pigeon_of_doom said:Ultimatechance, just leave it. You're simply falling prey to his bumping masterplan (as am I)
But yeah, you really did sum it up perfectly with everything you just said.
Why does everyone appear to think this...?pigeon_of_doom said:
I literally type them up at around mid-night when I'm bored, proof-read them once and then post (as you might tell from the post times)...there's no particular effort that goes into them. The only review I have written that I would consider to take effort was the second Lost Odyssey review - and even then only because I decided to include a lot of detail.
I write these for fun, simple as.
EDIT : Unless that's what your saying, after re-reading your post I'm now confused as to what you meant...
Sure they are; they write music that appeals to a wide group of people rather than a niche following (like metal) therefore they can be classed as pop.BlackJack47 said:I will say that the Goo Goo Dolls are NOT a pop-band
I will say that the Goo Goo Dolls are NOT a pop-band and your review was very good and i agreed with it. John Rzeznik did a great job with the music and is still one of my favourite Disney movies, yes i have a list of favourites...probably a mistake to get it laminated.
and your review was very good and i agreed with it. John Rzeznik did a great job with the music and is still one of my favourite Disney movies, yes i have a list of favourites...probably a mistake to get it laminated.
They are quite lengthy, which just lead me to assume that more effort went into them than many other reviews on the site. Well done if you can write reviews like this in half an hour or so without very much effort.D_987 said:
Nice work ^_^D_987 said:
I actually rate this movie really high, probably the only good piece of animation to come out of Disney since its release (excluding Pixar).
I felt there was a rich immersion in the universe and there was adequate character development for which I am a total sucker. I think you could've actually spent a little more effort on describing the visuals , I certainly wouldn't dismiss them as primitive - I felt they conveyed a compelling style, not timeless but charming in their own weight.
You got your point across though, which is the main thing.
I'd also opt for inset pictures instead of youtube footage - there's a lot of hi-res screen captures out there on the interwebz that would do the movies visuals some justice, plus I personally tend to avoid watching youtube videos in reviews - I'm there to concentrate on your media, not someone elses. Linking to videos can throw the reader off the tracks a little.
(Maybe leave a link to the cinematic trailer at the end of the review instead)
Personally I didn't notice the theme clash you were referring to, in regards to cannons and guns firing lasers? It all felt pretty natural to me, I mean they are flying pirate ships through space, right?
Agreed on the punky//edgy feel to some of the settings//objects too!
You have an informed style of writing and voice your opinions appropriately, always a pleasure to read
But... that's...what... you're meant to do...Right?D_987 said:
Or have I been in the wrong every time i reply to people commenting on my reviews?
