Well, I've been complaining about that stuff for the last few months, I think... If you've read any of my posts in that period, maybe you already know what I mean; if not:
Things I hate about this website:
-Elitist judging system that motivate people to keep TASing the same 5 or so games over and over again (Zelda, Sonic, Mario, Megaman, Metroid, etc.). No one wants to waste months of his life just to see his work rejected only because the judge in turn has never played your game before and he doesn't find it entertaining. And let's not talk about waiting 65 months to see a run accepted, when it should be much faster if we didn't have this stupid elitist system with just a couple of judges.
-Bisqwit. I think he'd rather have another MTV interview for himself instead of having a community the size of YouTube. He is only worried about having the highest possible quality for anything in his website (
Matthew 23:27-28). Thanks to this we only have published TASes for the most popular games, the encodes for more complex systems take years to appear on the website, the website is more static than most 1998 FrontPage sites, the community is completely separated from the real website (forum/real website... Most new people don't even know there are so many people behind those TASes), our TASes a lot of times receive more comments on sites like YouTube instead of ours, because it's much harder for a newbie to leave comments here, etc etc. And don't get me started on things I've been personally annoyed by him: it took him more than a year to accept PCSX or at least show interest, he doesn't want to accept runs with hacks in them (like that finished Resident Evil 3 TAS or Metal Gear Solid...) at least until we have pSX, his complete lack of social skill drive away any new coder, with his mostly stupid new-emulator requirements and his blunt way to criticize the work other people are doing for free to help his website; and how we have forums for Famtasia, DOSBox, Dolphin, etc... and for PCSX it took more than a year to have one. And he should be the one making the changes needed by this community to be more alive, and not just this elitist soon to be dead thing; but I guess Bisqwit really likes all this, and he's just interested in more interviews for MTV and all that.
