Nice quotes from a different video thread. I'm still waiting for you to show us how "almost everybody" is whining.canadamus_prime said:

OOh better pacing would be nice, the story is good I like it. I'm interested to see how it turns out :3
Yes, those aren't from this comic specifically, but they are still referring to this story arc.Clearing the Eye said:
Stories have there time and place, and a 16-panelish tale of GTOnizuka style psychological therapy does not belong in a videogame webcomics. Pacing, is ill-suited for falling-out-of-windows scenes, and the characters are not fleshed out enough to feel sympathetic about there drunk rampages and existential crises.Clearing the Eye said:
Sorry, did you not see the part where I said we are still waiting for you to show us how "almost everybody" is whining? Any time you're ready.canadamus_prime said:
And I did that. Bearing in mind that "almost everybody" was still a bit of an exaggeration. There's also the simple fact that Grey wouldn't have felt the need to comment on the pace of the story if a whole bunch of people hadn't complained about it.Clearing the Eye said:
Oohh. So you exaggerated twice and continue to back up when actually asked to support your statements. Nice contribution to the thread.canadamus_prime said:
Hilarious, but at this point I can't tell if either you or the characters don't know what the fuck they're doing or trying to accomplish.
I'm sure being extremely anal-retentive about pointless things is a huge contribution to this thread as well. Seriously, just drop it.Clearing the Eye said:
canadamus_prime is right, I wanted to see the comments specifically to see if there would be lots of criticism again, and how people would react to the remark about the pacing. Just look through the threads for previous Critical Miss's in this story arc.Clearing the Eye said:
Edit: on a side note, if a name's first letter isn't capitalized, and I use this name to begin my sentence, should I capitalize it?
Pointing out people's errors and requesting they support their claims is a fairly standard part of argument, friend.Kungfu_Teddybear said:
Okay, I know it's a petty thing, but I haven't reached my quota for the day, and I'm seeing this more and more often, so here goes:Grey Carter said:
You mean "Cory and me" there. You're one of the objects of the verb "follow" in that sentence, so the pronoun should be in the objective case ("me"). It'd be "I" if you were part of the subject, as in "Cory and I are on Twitter".
Phew. Okay, I got that out of my system. I'll be over in the Pedant Corner if anyone needs me.
I did back up my statements and you scoffed at my evidence because it wasn't from this thread specifically even though I wasn't talking about this thread specifically; in fact I was specifically referring to previous Critical Miss comic threads which makes my evidence even more relevant. So you can't say I didn't back up my statements.Clearing the Eye said:
Thank you.WorriedSandwich said:
Not when you're being this pedantic about it. It's a simple exaggeration, people exaggerate things all the time. You know damn fine what he meant when said everybody was complaining about the story arc. It was obvious he meant a lot of people have been complaining (and a lot of people have been complaining) throughout this story arc, but was just exaggerating it by saying "everybody". You're just trying to be a smart ass about it.Clearing the Eye said:
You going to back up any further from "Still a bit of an exaggeration?" You seem to use hyperbole on a whim and steadily reverse course, so I'm just curious. Perhaps you need to separate your rage from your forum posts or learn what silent majority means.canadamus_prime said:
Just give up it seems the guy can't understand a common expression or is purposely trying to rile you.canadamus_prime said:
I'm all for the writer making changes if a fan base is complaining, listening to criticism helps you learn what you're doing right and what you're wrong, without it you can't really improve. That guy better get cops called on him the moment she's pulled back in the window, I can't imagine anyone going along with him without some form of blackmail after that stunt.
No, sorry, you don't get to throw hyperbole around and be immune from criticism caused by said use. You disliking the fallout doesn't mean it goes away.Kungfu_Teddybear said:
Also, you may want to do a little research into something called silent majority.
Why should anyone care about the silent majority? As long as they don't comment on stuff nobody knows if they like it or not, so it could also be the case that the majority doesn't like and simply doesn't comment. I saw the last couple of threads and there were a bunch of people who said that they don't like the pacing, and because there were more negative comments than positive ones, one has to assume that the majority doesn't like it.Clearing the Eye said:
And you need to lighten up. Holy shit, and I thought I was anal retentive. Look I'd love (and by "love" I mean I'd rather rub my back with a garden claw} to continue this "charming" discussion, but I've got an appointment to get to. Excuse me.Clearing the Eye said:
Faulty logic. By your line of reasoning, a simple flick through the forum would suggest Diablo III sold quite poorly. This, however, is not the case.InTheEnd said:
People who dislike something, especially on the internet where they are free to rage and embarrass themselves, are always louder than those that enjoy it. Why? The group that like the subject move on and continue to enjoy it, while the angry minority want to vent.
