Ack, I lost some of my replies to certain people, so they may differ from what I actually meant. This time I reminded myself to open a new IE window. Anyway, seeing as I have a lot of stuff to reply to, I might as well stop ranting right now.

I get flooded out by a joke megawad
What the fuck are you talking about? Are you some stupid biased SP doomer who prefers detail over gameplay? If so, you really aren't worth replying to, but since you posted so many damn replies, I guess I have to.

The reviewers are amateurs and hobbyists who put their time and effort into the reviews. Saying "your reviews suck" is no different in principle to the reviewers saying the same about levels. I for one would like to say "thank you" to them and ask them to "keep up the good work".
Thanks a lot, that really does make me feel better, especially since that came from someone with such a high level of respect in the community. This is not the first time you've defended me, I really appreciate it.

It seems like deathz0r is just pissed off and decided to take it out on this week's WADs. It seems like he played mine for about 2 seconds before writing his "review". Infact, any WAD that wasn't from someone he allready knows he totally trashed. Bleh.
Since I'm in the middle of exams/finals, my concentration was split evenly between those two completely different situations. I played your wad for about five minutes, and I was only able to get to the blood pool near the start once, since I kept dying. I may suck at SP, but I definitely know what makes a good SP wad. Vrack 3 may be a little bit repetitive in texturing, but I care a lot more about gameplay than detailing. I don't like Apocalypse because of how annoying the variety of difficulty is.

I'm sure that there are a lot of guys here that should love to do his work (not me).
Great theory, I'd love to see it work in logic though.

Don't whine because your review wasn't good. Here's a tip. Make better WAD's.
Pretty much took the words right out of my mouth.
Jon said:
Who made you in charge of uploads? Thats right, nobody. Stick to reviewing stuff and leave your high-horse, I-know-the-archives-inside-out attitude out of it.
Normally I'd agree to that, but the fact that exec is already in the archives is what made me comment on this reply.

And if new authors are discouraged from one bad review, maybe they shouldn't be making wads. Criticism is heavy, even for some of the best ones. But that's part of the learning curve. Some criticism needs to be weighed and considered. Other criticism needs to be ignored. If you let it get to you once, it'll probably get to you every time.
Exactly what I said when I first started writing up /newstuff Chronicles, but now I don't bother, since I usually hope that the idiot who cries about it got the point before replying to it.

Hey Scuba Steve, we need a "fire deathzor now" graphic for people to post.

and t-shirts, there's money to be made
Haha, that definitely lightened up my day.
udderdude said:
Hmm, I see Newbie under your name. Looks like you're new here too!
Jippy is no newbie. He's been around a lot longer than most people think, and I've known him for almost the entire time I've been in the ZDaemon community.

Isn't that to be expected when Deathz0r is reviewing? If I remember correctly the last time when he was doing it the same thing happened.
There was no flamewar when I did it the last time, but it has happened on almost all occasions that I've reviewed. It's like a bad omen, but I don't actually mind it.

It's deathz0r. Fucking deal with it already. If you hadn't noticed, he's a sadistic bastard by nature and in no way are you to take insult by it. If you do, you are oversensitive and every little thing someone says about you on the internet brings you to tears.
Exactly. The whole purpose of the internet is to gain anonymousity (even though I don't mind giving out my full name), which makes people feel invincible or superior. Since I review other people's maps, I feel superior, or something along that lines.

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But I think if the reviewer fails to provide such information, you'll usually get what you want from people who respond in the comment thread, like you have this time.
I don't detest anyone wanting to write up reviews of whatever I review in the /newstuff threads, but everyone prefers to "WAHH FUCK YOU YOUR REVIEWS SUCK YOU DESERVE TO BE FIRED BLAH BLAH BLAH WAHH" than actually write one up. General message to all who don't like my reviews: Go write one up if you don't like mine, I could care less.

About the WAD you didn't review because it was just a compilation, you can still review it by saying most maps are good/bad and they flow well one after another and there are no super good looking maps and some super ugly maps, and so on.
A lot of people know how much I hate reviewing old maps. Just because it's in /newstuff, doesn't mean (in my opinion) that it's new.
Everyone who said:
Crap about me taking "20 minutes"
For those who think I played all the maps and wrote the reviews in 20 minutes, then you're all wrong. I spent at least 2 hours playing all the maps, and since I played most of them so much, that I pretty much wrote up the reviews in slipstream time.
