Heh...as perfect a counterpoint to CrapMAME as I've ever seen... 'cept we're all a little older than 4 years old (x10 in my case ::) ) CrapMAME does have constructive as well as destructive criticism, but perhaps the balance is a bit skewed... I don't see it as much more than the "Razzies" of our hobby, with profanity added. If you post your cab in public, you gotta expect the occasional critic to take a dump on it. The art of this sort of thing, though, is to trash a cab and still be funny enough that people don't mind, ala Triumph the Insult Dog, but I think he's even been banned from Montreal, so it's a fine line sometimes...

NopE. I SAID THAT HE DOESNT HAVE THE BRASS TO PUT HIS NEW Cabinet up!!!! AND HE DOESNT HAVE THE BRASS TO REVEAL HIMSELF. --- End quote --- I dunno if he has ever actually showed his "NEW Cabinet ", but he didn't hide himself when his site first made its way to BYOAC. If you really want to know who he isepthegeek, then interest yourself in the search button up there, and go back to one of the earlier times that this site was mentioned here. |

--- Quote from: Xiaou2 on August 06, 2006, 03:08:40 am --- Dave, dont tell me what to do. Ive already told you this before... that I dont follow your commands. Next, I am relaxed. But again, am making my points clear. Its your wording that is basically now feuling this thread. Maybe you could take a re-read and see how it sounds from the other persons perspecitve and opposing views? But thanks for the sympathy anyways. Not so much as needed, but Appreciated. --- End quote --- Xiaou, no one's "ordering" you around. It's a friendly suggestion. Secondly, it's not "sympathy". I don't "feel sorry" for you. I liked your implementation and I don't see why a satirical jab should be the end of the world. If you post anything on the internet, be it an essay, picture or project, it's going to be open to comments and critisism. You kind of need to be a little thick-skined. Once again - suggestion. I worded my opinion boldly becuase I'm a firm believer in it. Have you ever seen a political debate? They don't stand there stroking puppy dogs talking in a soft, pleasant voice. They can and do get heated. Sometimes the only way to drive your point home is to word it strongly. Now let's see if I can reiterate my point in a better, non-offensive to Xiaou way: When I saw some examples being made fun of, I could understand that the creator may have faced some limitations (couldn't afford bigger monitor, not as much "know-how", etc.). But when the project in question suffered from 'bad control panel layout', I really couldn't see any legitimate reason why that had to happen, outside from lack of caring (seriously). "I need a trackball - I don't care if it's not practical to put one and won't play comfortably." "I need X amount of buttons - I don't care if they're not laid out logically". "I need every control under the sun, and I don't want to have swapable/rotating panels - I don't care if it's a big, crazy mess and everything gets in the way of everything else." "I need to never have to break out a keyboard - I don't care that my panel is soaked with buttons I'll use, like, once a month at best." Sorry, but I stand by my harsh wording (edit: I reread my initial post - it's not even all that harsh). A badly placed control is as good as no control at all. It's not a personal attack on him or any other cab builder. It's just something that can literally make-or-break your project, so I feel the need to say it bolder than any other opinion I express. Yes, a bad panel can be done over - but why should it be done wrong the first time? All one needs to do is look at some sample control panels in KLOV or in a real-life arcade to realize, "Hey, joysticks are almost always on the left and buttons are laid out horizontally, not vertically. Maybe there's a reason for that and I should stick to those basic rules". It doesn't cost extra money and requires little to no skill. *The preceding comments are the author's opinion and are not necessarily those of others.
