Neddy Seagoon posted:Blizzard have stated they won't rerelease Orcs and Humans because it just wasn't that good compared to their later games. I also remember someone telling me that Warcraft 2 still supports matchmaking or some sort of online functionality with Battle.net as well (unless I'm thinking of something else). But I do remember hearing that statement a while ago, and it annoys me the same as with the WOW vanilla server thing. "Oh hey, we don't think that game's very good compared to our new stuff." Yeah, but that still no reason to bar the idea of putting it up for sale or download.

RareAcumen posted:Amazeballs seems like something someone a bit younger than 19 would be saying, and I've never heard the phrase Shaka Brah before but this feels less alien than any Futurama slang so I can see that being said. Yeah, shaka brah is one that's a bit misplaced. I could see "hang loose" in its stead which still isn't really common. I could see someone like Chloe using either for giggles, but it'd definitely be a personal quirk. (From what I understand some of the slang Chloe uses are actually Ashley Burch-isms more than they were in the original script but I don't have a source for that).

Oh, are we talking about Life is Strange's bad attempt at capturing teenage dialogue? I have one very specific example that pisses me off. So Chloe loves the word "hella" which is NorCal slang for "really/very/extremely." So one might say things like "I'm hella tired" or "That's hella rad." It's an adjective to add emphasis. So far, so good, Chloe is using it correctly most of the time. But one line she says is "Hella yes!" like she's trying to say "Hell yes!" but with hella instead. But it ends up meaning "Very yes!" and it totally yanked me out of the moment.

Seriously though, amazeballs is something I wouldn't bat an eye at if a kid around like 13 or younger was saying it, but it's whatever anyway. Now I wish that the dialogue was about 80% slang from all over the country and vehemently refused to stick to one region. They're calling people shoobies and saying on line while in a line and getting creemees and talking about alligator pear toast. Just make it bizarrely incomprehensible.

The best way to write teens is to have them curse and say a lot of really hosed up things constantly.

I really liked LiS story but the dialogue felt really strange to me, why did Chloe keep saying “tane”, and why did she keep talking about long faces and broken holes?

Meh, I'm starting to feel like Sterling is turning into the Nostalgia Critic of video games. Repetition and funny costumes and long skits I end up skipping over. At least he's right about most of the things he says.
