I don't see it as equivalent to something like the numbering of a generation of video-gaming consoles.

NiteCyper

Sep 26, 2014 16:20

Which is how I see the meaning of Web 2.0.

NiteCyper

Sep 26, 2014 16:20

Like I said, I only called it that because of Web 2.0. I don't care whether that's the correct number. I'm using it to refer to the uprising of user-created content.

By me saying VG 2.0?

NiteCyper

Sep 26, 2014 16:18

Video-game broadcasting existed in some form, but Twitch, at least in my life, revolutionized it for me.

NiteCyper

Sep 26, 2014 16:17

I guess I'll just refer to it as customizability then.

NiteCyper

Sep 26, 2014 16:16

Are you sure we can't say the same for Web?

NiteCyper

Sep 26, 2014 16:15

I don't care what version number it is, I'm just giving it a name that derives from another term.

NiteCyper

Sep 26, 2014 16:13

We can make our own games, sure, but people play LoL because that's what everyone else is playing. If making and accessing a game was easier, we might see the definition of VG 2.0.

NiteCyper

Sep 26, 2014 16:13

I think that video games could become more customizable. Blizzard RTSes seems to be the shining example, and I never saw their customizability as the big selling point that they deserve. Many people lamented the discontinuation of Ultra Rapid-Fire (URF) game mode from LoL, but players just had to lump it. In the future, I feel that such tragedy may no longer be possible. People won't have to lump it; players will easily be able to make their own game and play it with others.

@JoshuaAslanSmith What's a paradigm shift?

NiteCyper

Sep 26, 2014 15:57

@JoshuaAslanSmith What about multiplayer communities? And when was it ever more than just a novelty and something worth buying the game for? Minecraft? I never learned how to play vanilla StarCraft...

NiteCyper

Sep 26, 2014 15:55

@JoshuaAslanSmith But I thought it has a much more customizable map editor or whatever it's called now: Tetris, third-person shooting, etc.

@TimB Closest thing I can think of is Tug of War.

NiteCyper

Sep 26, 2014 15:20

I played lots of Sunken Defense. Co-op (tower) defense games were common custom maps. I'm not familiar with any games really like it today. So many popular games that I don't see today.

@Aaron Arqade?

NiteCyper

Sep 26, 2014 15:13

The original DotA itself began in WarCraft III or something, itself another custom map.

NiteCyper

Sep 26, 2014 15:12

The original DotA originated from Aion of Strife (AoS), a custom StarCraft map. At least, according to what I've read.

NiteCyper

Sep 26, 2014 15:11

@Aaron It's an example of it, I'd say.

NiteCyper

Sep 26, 2014 15:11

@Aaron Yeah, sort of. It was a game mode, one could say. StarCraft came with StarEdit, a program for making custom maps. It has a system that essentially allows you to program maps, events in maps.

NiteCyper

Sep 26, 2014 15:09

@Aaron I guess you don't know about Use Map Settings (or at least that's what it was called in SC1).

NiteCyper

Sep 26, 2014 15:08

@Aaron When I think of VG 2.0, I think of StarCraft (2).

@waxeagle I'm becoming discouraged from working on detail in my questions since MrLemon amends them anyway.

I'm thinking of changing the title to "What happens when dark arts exceed the boundary of reality?" or some such.

NiteCyper

Q: What happens when shadow reality gets TOO real?

Dungeons & Dragons is about fantasy. Things that happen in the game aren't real, we only pretend that they are. For example, shadow conjurations "are actually one-fifth (20%) as strong as the real things". However, there are ways of "enrealening" them, such as the Enhanced Shadow Reality feat (Dr...

C octothorpe almost sounds like a marine animal.

Sep 26, 2014 13:41

So, due to the alternate form ruling, for example, bronze, gold, and silver dragons (who have alternate form) cannot cast spells in a form without "humanlike hands", no matter how similar their alternate form is to their draconic form.
