I "played" umineko, and I really tried to enjoy it. The problem is, it droned on endlessly with mundane details no one cares about, and even once it should have been exciting I just didn't care at all.

boring and mundane signature Now with more bold!Less Italics due to bold
I really, really hope that in an eventual match with a PC game in it people rush to buy it off of Steam and play it for an hour so they can vote Mario against it
And if you want to complain about results, look at the second match! The first would be close even if you added everything together and counted all the 'never played' votes for LoZ. Second match's numbers are hilarious.
Also, Icehawk pointed out to me that making the C/D votes matter for tiebreakers would 1. Result in better matches down the line 2. Give people an excuse to show up every day, so I'll probably make that count for the tiebreaker if (when) it comes to that.
From: neonreaper | Posted: 8/5/2011 6:22:13 PM | #066 I ask honestly - is there an effective difference between watching a LP of Umineko and actually playing it?
Biggest difference is that sometimes you want to just listen to a song in specific and/or stop to think about what just happened while the song keeps playing, but you can't do that in an LP. Also episode 8 in specific would have some differences. But even so, it wouldn't matter much really.
Yeah, it would be like seeing a video of someone reading a book, zoomed in on the book. You could read it, sure, but it would just feel a bit weird to read at someone else's pace, even if you could just press pause. It's like...eh.
You don't need a contest to hype things the same way a supervillain doesn't need a death ray. Sure he doesn't need it. There are plenty of other ways to take over the world. But still, it's a freaking death ray and what kind of supervillain wouldn't want to try to take over the world using a death ray at least once?
The Legend of Zelda vs. Umineko no Naku Koro ni D. I havent played Umineko no Naku Koro ni
no one has played umineko and it's disgusting that it continues to get into game contests. can I nominate 300 or the dark knight for this? apparently as long as it will play on your computer it's cool no matter how non-interactive it is
Jak II vs. Secret of Mana A. Ive played both. Vote: Jak II
SoM never did anything but frustrate me unfortunately...

300 is a kickass game. I nominate that for the next contest.

Will not remove this line of my signature until the Seahawks, Jazz or Rockies win a title (Started 5-16-09) Yes, I know I'm never getting rid of this signature
lmao @ the people who say Umineko isn't a game. Even the pretense that they use to say it disintegrated the moment Episode 8 came out and added an interactive Layton-esque puzzle game element to it.
So do ONLY A and B votes count? Tell me that just because I haven't played Umineko or Jak 2, that I can't make any contribution to two of my favorite games. I'm fairly confident given how I feel about Zelda and SoM that if I *had* played the other two they would lose out.
I'm going to use C/D to decide tiebreakers, but no, they won't count for A/B. Sorry, but it's going to happen to all of us. That's just the nature of the beast. I won't be able to vote for Umineko next round, most likely.
I played Jak 1 a while back and never got around to Jak 2. It's just...not been on my radar. B8 not really caring about certain games just makes you forget about them, unfortunately.
