Fast Eddie: Cutlisting this blog entry that somehow got posted to the wiki.

Kilyle: Actually, it seems that someone wanted to contribute to the new So You Want To project here but didn't understand quite what we're doing and/or decided to just write a Take That!. I don't know that it needs to be cutlisted, just transformed into the appropriate format and be more about advice and less about the author's annoyance over bad or stereotypical games.

ETA: Let me see what I can do with it in as few minutes as I have to spend. ETA 2: Okay, how's that for a decent stub? Now it can be un-cutlisted and improved by someone who knows more about the genre than I do.

ETA 3: Yay! People actually updating the article! I moved the pieces to the spots I thought they belonged - not Necessary Tropes but Choices or Subversions. I might have gotten that wrong; I'm in a hurry this morning. Once this project picks up speed, I think people will get a better handle on why those sections are separate and how to use them, but for now, I'll take whatever comes along and see if I can work out the kinks.


Kilyle: Someone changed a reference from "Refuge In Absurdity" to "Refuge in Audacity". Looking at the surrounding text, I'm not sure that's what the original poster meant. Maybe he thought there was an existing trope about absurdity or maybe he was just using the title as a term, but he seems to be saying "have some fun!" not "be so over the top that you offend people!" So I'm changing it back.


SAMAS: Cyborg Justice was a Beat 'em Up, not a First Person Shooter.


Sorry, I confused it with Cyber-Cop. I changed the entry.

Fast Eddie: This still needs a lot of shaping up.

Kilyle: I fixed up the typos and various other unsavory elements in the new additions. Hope it's better now. I also hope that when you say "needs a lot of shaping up" you mean "let's hope for Wiki Magic" and not "this is three inches shy of another cutlisting."
