The other day I had some ground beef, so I chopped up some fresh garlic, minced some onion, grabbed some pepper and some seasoned salt, and I got a chunk of breakfast sausage that was around half the size of the beef, and then I mixed all of that shit up into a patty, I grilled it, put it on a bun with some munster cheese on top, and I took a bite and I nearly died from swift orgasms.

No. Well not that I'm aware of anyway.
In my experience, every other hardcore/retro gaming forum on the internet has a beef with hg101, while hg101 in turn gives grand total of zero fucks. We are like that guy that drinks whiskey straight out of the bottle on a public bus; everyone else whispers and gossips, but we just don't care.

Yes. 100% Grade A(spergers).
That thread is hilarious. I especially love the posts bitching about typos written in broken English and without caps.

1. Punctuation is your friend. I took the liberty and edited question marks into your post.
2. "Beef" would be overstating it. On one hand there is a persistent misunderstanding what this site is (or disagreement what it should be) among the "hardcore" crowd of particularly mechanical genres (mostly shmups and fighting games), because the "Hardcore" tends to be taken more seriously than it was ever meant to be. Somehow these crowds tend to get a bit cranky/dismissive when a site with "Hardcore" in its title doesn't cater specifically to them. On the other hand, some of this sentiment in the shmup fandom in particular seems to stem from the old days, when HG101 was mostly brief series retrospectives in capsule reviews. Check the Compile Shooters article for an example, which has been sitting there almost unchanged for ten years.

I post on there sometimes, though I haven't recently. If anyone over there has a problem with the site, my guess would be someone didn't like the Cave articles that have gone up recently. I think it would be pretty much impossible to write anything about shooters and not piss off somebody over there.
EDIT: Or derboo's explanation, which he posted while I was typing.

Check the Compile Shooters article for an example, which has been sitting there almost unchanged for ten years. Part of the issue the Shmups forum has with HG101 just has to do with a difference in game design philosophy. A lot of them have a very romanticized notion that arcade games were perfectly designed in order for arcade gaming ninjas to hone their skills to clear them on a single credit. We disagree with this, because arcade games were designed, first and foremost, to make money, to get people pumping in money as much as possible. This generally (though not always) leads to sloppier game design, because who cares about balance when the goal is to kill the player quickly, or least get them to get far enough so they'd continue and give more money. As a result, the difficulty in arcade games tend to be overtly against the player. Considering that writers of this site, myself included, have spoken with arcade game developers and they can attest to the profit motive being the major thing influencing a game's difficulty in the arcades, we have more authority to take this stance than people's fantasy land version of how games are designed. At least, that's what I've concluded from the occasional browsing of these forums. Most of it probably spreads from Icycalm, who is well regarded as a pariah among the video game community. Incidentally they did find a goof in the X-Multiply article. Oops! People make mistakes! |

You just made me do a google search on icycalm and after some extensive reading (he's allegedly a criminal) that's... 2 hours of my life gone. I feel so cold.

Just imagine how many productive things that you could have done in 2 hours, but, instead, you read about that dude.

 ...wait. Anyway, while the "worse than HG101" thing is definitely over the line, that Cracked article there is terrible, except for the rubberband AI bit, that is so, SO true. |

Muenster? Come on, man, you have to manage the Burger Rank System better than that. Swiss makes it easier to 1CC your burger. And the breakfast sausage? That's a poor strategy for extends. |
