I also wanted to comment on this message that I am a rockband fan and
other DJ video games out there since I love music it makes you feel like
a rock star.

Hey guys,
Ok I'm gonna go ahead and say it. I find myself getting extremely
frustrated with the blind gaming community. Why you ask? ok here goes.
I'm sure you guys have noticed I've been putting up some rock band
samples up. you've also noticed Clement has been putting up some
street fighter IV samples and various other samples. So why is it that
when we ask for feedback or comments on these samples we work hard to
create, people simply either ignore us completely, or the same 3 or 4
people are the ones to always respond? well you know what I think the
reason for that is? simply that the games we post about are mainstream
games, not audio games. I've noticed that when a new audio game comes
out, even if it's the most simplistic game in existence, everyone's
all jumping to download it immediately and there are threads that span
hundreds of messages on the subject. But when we post something having
to do with console games, the thread dies in a matter of hours. I'm
sure Clement has been feeling this frustration as well. it's been
leaking through in his emails to the list even if he hasn't mentioned
it outright. So my question is this: what must we do to get you guys
interested in something other than topspeed 3, or any other audio game
for that matter? don't you guys have that spark of curiosity to find
out everything there is to find about video games? why is everyone
ignoring these games outright? This community has hundreds of members,
and only a very limited amount of people even talk about mainstream
games. it's all audio games, audio games, and more audio games.
there's so much more out there for you to find guys. how can you call
yourself a gamer when you aren't even willing to download the files
Clement and I put up to at least listen to what these games have to
offer? Whenever I put up a rock band sample, I get like 4 or 5
downloads at most. however I rarely get any feedback. I think you guys
are just shoving these files in your hard drives and don't even take a
listen. if you do, then you have the curiosity of a robot. I don't
know about Clement, but I'm not planning on putting anything else up.
What's the point? no one seems to care what we have to say, or have
any curiosity about console gaming. you guys just keep playing your
audio games and keep your closed-minded mentality about game
accessibility in general. If you think I'm taking things too far,
consider this: remember when Clement and I had that little Street
Fighter seminar? I finally thought that people finally had some
interest in what we had to say and in the game and such. we got some
really good questions, and over all had a really good time. but once
that seminar ended, what do you think happened? That's right.
absolutely nothing. people basically were like oh ok, that game had
awesome sounds and music and such. ok back to playing some tank
commander. at least, that's how I feel personally. it was fun as a
spur of the moment thing. Now let me ask you this. how many of you,
after listening to that seminar went over to gamestop and bought a
copy of Street Fighter? or even go to a friend's house and try the
game out? My guess is 0. ok rant over. I know this email is a mess
lol, but it's just basically me writing down my ideas as they come to
mind. take from it what you will. for those of us serious about
gaming, we need to get together and figure where we should take it
from here. Do we give up, or keep trying? I'm pretty tired of trying
my self when everyone's resisting to be honest. Good day everyone.
