[Chloe]Just how long...

Posted by Tizabet on Oct. 30, 2009, 11:13 p.m.

About You~ Just how long has everyone been here? Looking at my old account, it seems I originally signed up on February 20th, 2006, and while I remember a few people from then, like Melee-Master and Ludamad, most of you are totally unfamiliar to me. So I just wondered if any of you have taken on a new name like myself. (If you knew me back in the day, you would probably remember me as TaleriaKNT, or possibly Xemrel.)

Caelis Alteris' Progress~ None. I've gotten sidetracked watching trough all of Smallville and fighting with nLite. But I'm past the half way mark in the show, so another few days and back to work. :P Well, okay, it's not that I've done NOTHING, but none of it's really visible. Just cleaning internal things up so the rest goes easier.

Gameplay Question~ How do you feel about controlling something complicated? Prefer many buttons with single function, or a few buttons that can be combined in complicated ways? What if combos require special timing: Is this cool/fun, or just frustrating to you?

I forget when I joined. I used to be called Yaywalter on here.

Combos are mostly frustrating to me. It's why I'm generally not a huge fan of fighting games… though it is fun to mash buttons in Soul Calibur every now and then. lol

I used to be bob799 =p

But combos are ok as long as the timing isn't too specific.

I remember you relatively well, I was once known as Vanhelsing (And still known as him in most situations).

I like games with a multitude of controls because then that generally changes up how limited you are to controlling the character, like in the situation of games where there's one button and the arrow keys, and you have to kill everything on the screen, it gets fairly difficult. But redundant controls I don't like. If it does something useful, then it's a good control, lol.

Oh, Xemrel! Well, I knew that from RS, but thanks for reminding me. Hi!

I joined in July 2007, have been fairly consistently active since then, and gone by the same name forever. Hooray for that, I guess.

Ive been around for a while (id say 2007). I was on a different community GMS from 2005 i think.

I wanted a name change but feared it would screw up all my crap on here lol.

I'm pleasantly surprised. I actually recognize most of those old names. :)

@ESA~ Love the avatar, btw. You make it?

August 28th, 2005. I vaguely remember a TaleriaKNT, back then I was known as theman.

I used to be teh Monkey, then GeoS, then Sandwich, then Toast. I'm still unknown yay

As for complicated controls, I think you have to be compromise between buttons and button combonations, as a large amount of either quickly becomes ridiculous. And make sure to clearly explain what each button does - thats the most frustrating thing.
