What is Digg?78 Comments
- Xionn, on 07/22/2008, -4/+73All in all, I think that that list was indeed quite lame.
- bwhite4815, on 07/22/2008, -4/+65100? .. Way too long.
- revjustin2, on 07/23/2008, -0/+26I hear you. It's one of the top ten reasons why I hate digg.
- MetalGear7, on 07/23/2008, -2/+26HOLY ***** I'VE SEEN 5 articles with lists in the past minute Jesus Christ are diggers ***** for lists
- salvadorwii, on 07/23/2008, -0/+22This must be your first day, welcome to digg
- Tallon29, on 07/23/2008, -2/+23 14. Worth a rental - No. No, it isn't. This is incredibly lazy reviewer shorthand for "Well, parts of it were fun, but I wouldn't ever pay actual money for it. You, however, don't have the option of playing it for free, so I guess renting it is the next best thing."
That was stupid. There are plenty of games I've played that were worth $5, but not $50. - icantdenythis, on 07/23/2008, -3/+18I'd put that article on a list of the "lamest" articles I've seen on digg.
buried. - floppyparty, on 07/23/2008, -0/+10It was an evolution in lameness.
- ConNERD, on 07/23/2008, -4/+13tl;dr
- gaberhart, on 07/23/2008, -0/+9Appropriately several of their list entries are as cliched as the cliches they're attacking, but they make some decent points. A lot of game reviewing today has basically become madlibs.
- bobartig, on 07/23/2008, -0/+7"Shigeru Miyamoto is not 'Shigsy'...".
Of course not. He's "Shiggy!" - alperea, on 07/23/2008, -0/+7You must be a pretty pissed off guy to be able to write 100 of them! It's like comic book guy having a bad day.
- iDoraemon, on 07/23/2008, -1/+810. Turn the lights down and the sound up - Ooh, this game is spooky. Better damage your eyes and annoy the neighbors if you want to fully appreciate it.
That's dumb. Watching/reading in the dark for long periods of times does not permanently damage the eyes. That's a myth. It just strains the eyes. - bstockwell, on 07/23/2008, -3/+9Yeah, TLDR
- deezeejoey, on 07/23/2008, -1/+7really stupid.
- rexcom, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5101 - Video Game Lists
- Best360, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5Made me want to snap my monitor in half just reading it.
- AdamFromMyspace, on 07/23/2008, -1/+6Reading this reminded me of a writer trying really hard to be funny like a cracked.com writer (some of the pictures were even mildly amusing), but overall failing miserably, since the wit just wasn't there.
- CrazyDEX, on 07/23/2008, -1/+5yeah really... other popular digg topics for the newb - Ron Paul, Boobs, Huffington Post articles, Zero Punctuation/Yahtzee game reviews, Cracked (same as top X whatevers), reedit/4chan reposts.
Welcome and enjoy - Coffeedemon, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4You'll never experience controller snapping frustration? If only because they haven't made a game as hard as the original Megaman or Ninja Gaiden in many moons. I actualy did snap a controller in half playing those on the NES. That leads me to another point... they don't make controllers the way they used to either. If you bent it back to "straight" the damn thing still worked.
- jaynemother, on 07/23/2008, -1/+51 most nitpicking article I've read in recent memory.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4Lists are the new web 2.0 :P
- Adv1s, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4Well done for inserting "top [insert number] lists" right in at the end of the article you bastards.
- zjbird, on 07/23/2008, -1/+4They need to make a "100 lamest attempts to make a top 100 on digg" list...
- CtznBomberman, on 07/23/2008, -1/+4102 - That Tyrghast understands what "cliche" means.
- VelvetoneFusion, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3Don't forget every xkcd strip and linux anything update.
- revjustin2, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3Having a list of 100 cliches found in game reviews pretty much makes it impossible to write anything that isn't in a language you just made up for the review. Let's face it kids, there are like 10 general kinds of video games (and I am being generous there). It's not like reviewers have a lot to write about in this industry anyway.
- bobsander87, on 07/23/2008, -2/+5This article is pretty lame itself
- Cuchanu, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3Well in game reviewers defense so many games are clones so how can they be expected to write a new and exiting review for every sup-par or seen it before game that comes out.
PS I couldn't get past the first page. Instead of 'top 100 game cliches' it should have been called 'EVERY game cliche ever'. - pitchblack16, on 07/23/2008, -1/+4yup 100 is definitely too long, on a side note ummm who cares about terms used in game reviews?
- scoottie, on 07/23/2008, -1/+4after about #5 the article got too boring to read
- Cyber_Akuma, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3Worst.... 100 list..... ever!
- Kohaxx, on 07/23/2008, -1/+3Anyone who watches G4 for 10 minutes could come up with this list. The "lameness" involved in the culture surrounding selecting video games just gets worse every year.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -1/+3Funny thing about number 2 and getting frustrated is that back in the day my friend and I were playing Trickstyle for Dreamcast, and spent hours upon hours playing one night, so at about 4 in the morning we couldn't decide whose turn it was so we started choking each other.
- mrelusive, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2How come nobody uses a thumbnail image from GamesRadar that actually has to do with the story?
- BradOFarrell, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2This is a part of gaming culture that's not worthy of documentation. "All-in-all" being used as a preface for a summary? Seriously? Meh.
- dnields, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2So I'm not the only one who sees the paradox when a site that promotes "The First Podcast Designed NOT To Put You To Sleep" posts a an extremely exhausting 'Top 100' list.
- Cyber_Akuma, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2You read the article before commenting on the half of the time misleading title? What kind of a Digger are you?
- Hoogs, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2How are these even clichés? I mean, there's 100 of them, so they can't be THAT overused. And what's wrong with using them? I don't expect video game reviews to be works of art. They just need to get the point across, and these phrases do just that.
- Seemefearme, on 07/23/2008, -1/+3Super lame article. Buried.
- 33PercentGod, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Dugg a trillion times for number 13 on the list.
- chops, on 07/23/2008, -0/+113. "Cheeky" nicknames - Nintendo is not "Ninty." Shigeru Miyamoto is not "Shigsy." Resident Evil is not "Resi," Reggie Fils-Aime is not "The Regginator" and you are not a small child, so stop writing like one.
- Hydrohs, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1I personally thought this was funny. And quite true.
- Cyber_Akuma, on 07/23/2008, -1/+2I coulden't get through the first page, this article felt like somebody trying to cash-in on trying to get fame by thinking they are original for simply hating on something most others do.
Around the "worth a rental" part it felt like the person writing this drivel was simply trying to complain about any possible sentance you might see in a review. I wonder if they were foaming at the mouth while writing this. - draux, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1Yup, thought it might be a good idea to read it before I comment.
- c010rb1indusa, on 07/23/2008, -1/+2There's only so many things you can say about a game, and since so many games are about imitation then innovation (see American Capitalism), this list is useless nit picking list of some guy who has gotten tired of reading game reviews. If you don't like it, play the god damn game yourself.
- Halgy, on 07/23/2008, -1/+2I guess this guy doesn't like any metaphor or interesting language. Doubleplus good article.
- tHeSiD, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1100?
i doubt if anyone on digg really read the whole article..
100 is just too large for a "top" or "frequent" list..
and its neither related to hot chicks nor sexy graphics nor politics nor bush bah.. - AmericanGunner, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1so were suppose to play cutting edge games with all the lights on and normal volume so i cant hear the dialogue when the ac turns on?
