In Response To: I hate this title (Forrest of B.org)

if you are not in a bad mood, DO NOT READ THIS, IT MIGHT PUT YOU BACK IN ONE, IF YOU ARE IN A BAD MOOD, IT MIGHT HELP!

first let me say that you are very good at putting emotional shit into words, much better then i am. second, i am going to say something to th effect of, "it's your fuckin project, do it how ever the fuck you want, whenever the fuck you want, and don't give a damn about what ever other people are going to tell you, because they're not the ones who have been worjing on it for eight years of thair lives" if something like that is going to make you more angry at everyone, and more importantly your self DON'T READ ANYMORE OF THIS POST! DON'T EVEN LOOK AT A COMPUTER FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE! DON'T THINK ABOUT ANYTHING MORE IMPORTANT THEN DRIVING HOME, OR TO THE BEACH, OR TO WHAREVER YOU WANT TO GO TO FORGET EVERYTHING ABOUT everything, play with a dog, go out on a date to a comfortable place, or just go alone, whatever is more stress free. buy a gun and blow the shit outa some deer, or passing moterists, whatever.

ok, for what its worth, i love eternal, and i think you've done a wonderful job, and though i hate to say it, some of that comparison that you hate probaly has helped to to become what it is. but, as a i stated before, this is your project, your dream, and the ultimite decison is yours. gettin other peoples opinions is fine, but heres a little story that i like

thare was once a young indian man building a conoe. an older, more expereanced man found him and wachted him for a while and said "the keel is too high, you should make it lower"
the boy replied "thank you" and began lowering the keel.
a while later, another man came by and said "the sides are too high"
the boy replied "thak you" and begane lowering the sides
by the end of the day, every member of the village had told him what they thought he should do and he had done it, and when he tried to use his conoe, it sank quikly.
the next day, he set to work building another boat, and whenever someone gave him advice, he thanked them and then did what ever he was already doing, being polite, but following his and only his plane.
when the time came for him to launch his conoe, it floated well, was stable and fast, and everyone was impressed. when they asked whos advice he took to make it so good, he said he took his ownwhen he saw fit, and others only when he happened to agree with them

moral of the story? its yours forrest, to mold, to destory, to create, to bless, to damn, as you see fit. so get out thare and kick the world in the ass

(if anybody out thair is of native amrican desent, i hope this little story does not offend you, and if it does, be angry at the boy scouts of amrica, whare i heard it.)

: I am very angry and at work right now so I'll try to make this brief and not
: full of profanity.

: I've spent my entire goddamned life trying to measure up to other people's
: standards, which are always rising, and by the time I meet what was the
: standard when I started it's risen again. This is why Eternal was never
: released in the eight mother fucking years it was in initial development.
: It was gonna be ten maps - just ten little maps, each about as big as an
: M1 map. Then, oh no, see, your levels all have to be 1024 polys. Not only
: that, if they don't emply _ALL THESE NEW AND LATEST TRICKS_ then you're a
: worthless excuse for a human being. (Look at Bungie's maps. They're REALLY
: FUCKING SIMPLE and low-poly 'boxy' rooms like you all despise, and yet you
: still worship them). And then EVIL comes out... and now you have to have
: all new monsters, and weapons, and textures too. Oh yeah, and of course a
: whole new interface. But whoa look at this, scenarios with LOTS OF EXTRA
: TEXTURES, and stacked monsters, now you need even MORE NEW SHIT. Now
: there's A1, it all has to be hires, you need music, rearrange everything
: with MML, it has to run on Windows too, OH but make make sure you maintain
: OS9 compatibility too! And who the FUCK cares anymore anyway? Marathon is
: old, outdated lores SHIT that nobody gives a flying fuck about, you'd
: think in a community for something like that you could finally hit some
: kind of ceiling and say "this is good enough". By the time I
: ever make anything that's good enough for modern standards, that won't be
: modern anymore and I'll have wasted my time, so in that case I don't see
: why the fuck I should do anything at all.

: Eternal will be released as I have planned it. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM that is
: NOT COMPARISON TO OTHERS (especially shit that hasn't even been released
: *cough*Sigma*cough*) is welcome. Steve's comments have been generally nice
: and useful. Adam, Simon, Goran, you just make me feel like shit. Do NOT
: say "well it's not as good as X", or "the standard has been
: raised, it's just not up to par". Do not imply that I am going about
: things all wrong and should just start over or redo everything. (I've done
: that four times already). And ESPECIALLY don't tell me that it's OK that I
: suck compared to so-and-so because so-and-so is just so much better than
: everyone.

: I know I suck. At everything. My entire life is one big fat vat of
: mediocrity. I literally, physically *beat the fuck out of myself* over it
: every day. If Eternal reflects that, then at least it's accurate.
