So, has anyone heard about this guy? I'm wondering if he might be worthy of a thread here.
Put simply, Pseudolonewolf is a Flash game developer most famous for the Mardek series of SNES-style RPGs. The thing is, his games are actually well-made and enjoyable. In fact, they may be some of the best I've ever experienced. The things that he can make Flash do are genuinely impressive. That's the main reason I have reservations about adding him here.
What makes me want to add him here is his tendency to act like a dickface.
That, and the fact that he has created a Moleman-esque elaborate universe that all his games take place in (
wiki included). He also has many,
many ideas for games that he intends to make to explore seemingly every niche of this universe, most of which I sincerely doubt will ever be realised due to their ambitious nature and the sheer volume of them. But I'm personally going to give him a pass on that because I know that it's possible to work some truly good shit out of Flash, and hell, he's shown some of that himself.
That said,
looking at the "personal" section on his blog isn't exactly flattering on his part. Apparently, he is so averse to criticism that he refuses to
look at reviews of his works and thinks that the community hates him (did I mention he runs his own forum for his shit? Yeah...) and justifies himself on "stress" and begging for sympathy. He also describes a member that tried to call him out on his shit as "one of the most repugnant people I've ever had the misfortune of coming across" and whines at the knowledge that most members agree with him.
Also, he
believes in a discredited theory that originated in ancient Greece and worked this into user profiles on his forum. As well as DND alignment, personality traits, and
"wears glasses or contacts". He also openly hates American English and made it a sin in
his made-up religion (of which he is the High Priest. Of course). I'd note that a lot of his commandments do appear to be joking, but if I remember correctly from the time I was on his forum he actually had "thou shalt not use Americanisms" as a rule once.
So, I'd wager that he's lolcow material. Thoughts?
