Tired of every "Hey guys..." video. This generation is has gotten lazy with its videos. /rant I think it's quite a bit more difficult to make this video than it would have been to write the article. I think what you mean is "does anyone read anymore?" I've personally grown a bit tired of these nostalgia inducing videos/articles. "Like if you remember this...", or, "You know you're a X0's kid if...". It's pretty much this generations "Get off my lawn" and it's purely an unnecessary bias against people who can't relate to exactly what you went through. Most probably don't see it that way though.

Like this post if you remember Bump in the Night. I can read much faster than I can watch a video. I can also scan a body of text and find exactly what I'm looking for. This goes beyond this particular post. I'm mostly frustrated by the plethora of "how-to" videos with none of the authors committing their content to writing. Even more specifically, the developers of a piece of software I'm learning how to use have spent all their times developing these worthless long-winded and slow pace "tutorial" videos and haven't put any time just writing a proper user manual. +E.Worm Jimmy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that, to a point. You usually end up skipping to tutorial #26 to finally get to what you want to learn but there are tidbits from tutorials #7 - #25 littered about and if you don't watch the thing in its entirety than you get lost. Overtime you get pretty good at it though, and so long as they title the video appropriately you can skip to Tutorial #19 when Tutorial #32 mentions it for a second. It is slightly inconvenient. Although it's very difficult to say I'd prefer YouTube went away and all there was to learn with was books. I learn much faster and retain the information longer when I see someone teaching me. I learned all the basics of all the programming languages I know from YouTube and then filled in the gaps with books. These videos are not like that though, these are just [v/b]log posts. Easily ignorable and useless too. DConnell and Shadrack 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techbeck Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Was a game I played on the PC in the 90s. Where you were driving down a city block is some futuristic ship/car. Had a decent story to it. For the life of me, I cannot remember the name of the game. Dont remember much of the game.

Unobscured Vision Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Back when Silent Hill and Resident Evil 2 were THE scariest games ever made. Friday night? Check. Lights down, controllers up? Check. Iced Tea, check. Junk food, check. Girlfriend (after rolling her eyes and muttering something about rotting my brain) headed to bed without me? Check.

Easily ignorable and useless too. It would be awesome if YouTube could automatically transcribe the videos. Then you select a word in the transcript and it takes you to that point in the video. Even if the transcribe wasn't 100%, it would still be useful I think. astropheed 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc302 Veteran Posted February 10, 2015 Veteran Share Posted February 10, 2015 in the late 80s and early 90s it was easy to spot a great game. Generally if you went by graphics (as good as they could be on 8 and 16 bit systems) the game was usually well thought out and game play was usually on par with the quality of the eye candy back then. Now even crappy games look good and it is hard to tell between something that is eh to something that is great simply by looking at it. Time and research have to be done to get a good quality game. Games used to take forever to beat (mario bros, zelda, final fantasy, to name a few)...now in a few hours or days the $60 game is beat vs months. Instant gratification has won.

There was so much awesome gaming in the 90s before playstation. i honestly thought this would be more interesting. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Don't get me wrong, the Playstation was definitely a big part of gaming in the 90s, but there was so much leading up to that point, including all the nonsense with CD systems (3DO), addons (Sega CD) and those that never came to be (SNES CD). Then of course you have PC gaming, which had a real golden era of gaming that really opened up new genres that we still play today, and the memories of dialup multiplayer gaming and playing on LAN. And even then, if you're just going to focus on Playstation, there's so much more to that system than Final Fantasy. +E.Worm Jimmy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intersect Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hah yes, but there was a working blood code for Sega Genesis. yeah i remember that one, DULLARD iirc was the code. the one printed in superplay was far more complex and involved 2 people inorder to pull it off but it was an april fools joke that got a lot of people excited. There was of corse the actionreplay2 "deadcodes" that sorta worked if you ever read superplay back in those days you would have seen the codes printed.
