I meant Axe Grayscale.  I don't think axe grayscale really makes the programmer deserve any respect unless they were able to make it haev almost no flicker in game; you're right though -- 3D in BASIC is easier than grayscale, but 3D in ASM is torture, and grayscale is a cinch.

But I get why you did that.  Simply not really explaining my view on my part.

BTW post deleted to make sure no one else gets offended from my bad way of explaining.

Oh I didn,t mean only in grayscale. The basic thing was more that it seemed like a shot at BASIC programmers for worshipping grayscale programs, which is simply untrue. If you said "because some newbies will vote for grayscale stuff even if there are even better 3D stuff around" it might have been better. That said you're right. If the game has grayscale (ASM, BASIC or Axe), if that's all that is good in the game and the rest sucks, it doesn't necessarly means the game good. Same goes with 3D, though, regardless of the language.

I see what you said there.  I agree, I should put my foot in my mouth.  I was just lolzing over that wolfenstein 3D review that gave it a 5/10 for not being in grayscale and it was done before grayscale was common on calc games.

Yeah there just some people who don't use common sense when reviewing calc games. They will bash an entire game if it's too large and prefer snake games to it, or they seem to think it's a Playstation 3. X.x

omnomnom I will rate the impossible game 1/10 cuz it wan't in 3D and not in 16 color grayscale and it didn't have an epic ARPG plotline and 32 color gray cutscenes with some bluescale included that were 1 min long each and it didn't have 2048 bit sound with 666 channels OMNOMNOM

That said, I think such thing is more common on Youtube nowadays, but since calc sites get traffic from there too, we can get that kind of people too. Often it's people who never coded before that are so narrow-minded/ignorant about calc work.

No! The Impossible Game deserves a 9/10, for sure!

I know I was kiddin' too.

The problem with polls is that...
However, when voting for presidents and prime ministers, some noobs vote too so, there's nothing we can do about it :S

but programming polls don't have to have those n00bs voting with them, we're controlling at most 200 people, not like 300 million. :P

We can control the voting reqs and stuff and make sure to highly inform the voters.

IF we can do that, then I think omnimaga award(s) would be great.

You know you've been thoroughly (sp?) computerized when large font causes you to physically flinch and wince, lol.
