I really bring down the hammer on a few of the mods around here and several games in this article upon request: My thoughts on game design, gameflow, metagaming, and how to create gameplay that won't die out in a few goes around the wheel.

Nothing I say here is meant to be an attack on modmakers or individuals, but rather taking their work as examples as to why I personally feel they do not reach their potential.

Show them your butt, and when you do, slap it so it creates a sound akin to a chorus of screaming spider monkeys flogging a chime with cacti. Only then can you find your destiny at the tip of the shaft.

Great article, I'll be sure to take a lot of those points into consideration.

I'm not sure how much of what I have read I have actually remembered, mostly because I'm so damn tired. However, I do know that your articles were quite... passionate, one could say. They were quite humorous, too. IskatuMesk bashing something is always fun to see/read.

Vrael shouted: wasnt even that really, they 6000 apm just made the terran army so much more value/$ that the extra economy didnt matter
Well yes and no. The apm made him win the battle, but I'm not convinced a pro player can't account for that. He got caught with his pants down so it's not really representative of a prepared player. And the extra economy absolutely would've mattered if that push didn't almost immediately end the game.

they basically lost most of their army in one big battle and didn't have the time and production to leverage the economic advantage and come back from that blow.
