I guess that makes the forum comments the graffiti scrawls on the inside of the stalls? “For a good time, call PizzaWizard.”

“Greenlight is therefore like a row of Port-O-Potties where someone stands outside of each stall and begs passersby to come in and see the shit they took. They then ask for donations to keep their shit from being flushed when the sanitation company comes to clean up, and possibly to contribute to the development of future shits.”

This is a brilliantly accurate description of the Greenlight/early access ecosystem.

What a perfect way to describe Fatboy Pizza Chase. This really is an excellent column.

“Will this get Oculus support?” really is a “Best Comment”.

I laughed. A lot. And then I laughed some more, because the answer is probably, “Yes.”

Minecraft isn’t a game.

I love the Best Comments on all the games you review. That’s brilliant to put on. Green light really shouldn’t be a service on Steam. It doesn’t need to be a platform for any game that any person has ever made regardless of quality. Someone needs to start a separate website/company for absolute shit games. It’s just amazing that the “developers” (can you even call them that if their game is really underdeveloped?) actually take their shit seriously. Greenlight is therefore like a row of Port-O-Potties where someone stands outside of each stall and begs passersby to come in and see the shit they took. They then ask for donations to keep their shit from being flushed when the sanitation company comes to clean up, and possibly to contribute to the development of future shits.

@Mel: Exactly. Minecraft doesn’t have amazing AAA graphics, because it doesn’t NEED graphics like that. It can get by on the merits of its gameplay alone.
Oh, and in before Lusipurr says that Minecraft isn’t a game.

I think some people mistake Minecraft’s popularity despite its simple graphics as a sign that people don’t care about how a game looks at ALL because (as uncritical people) they see Minecraft’s visual simplicity and think “poor design”.

@Dice: Exactly what I thought.

The graphics on that first one look atrocious. That’s a shame because the concept looks like it might be kind of interesting.
