Either take or I never met a "good" survey.

I just took the survey just to kill time. And time it has killed!

Ribs · 01/29/2010, 02:34 pm

Joystiq put up a different survey with the same contents that results in a free episode... getter done!

Avistew · 01/29/2010, 03:43 pm

I liked the survey.

It was kinda hard thinking of my favourite games, singers and movies and trying to make them English-language ones, so I kinda gave up halfway and wrote down some that are not, bu are famous enough they should have translations for the most part.
I also tried to make it variated. As in, since I like comedy and mystery, write down a movie that's funny and one that's a thriller... Or stuff like that.
I can't swear that what I wrote down would be the same if I took the survey right now, since I rarely have "all time favourites", but I certainly didn't lie, and wrote down stuff I do really love.

As far as I understood, the point was to know if people preferred more mystery, or more comedy, or more fantasy and stuff like that. I'm afraid I wasn't very useful in the music department as I listen to music for the lyrics mostly, and I'm not sure that will help them. But as long as you keep Jared the music will be perfect.
Anyways.

I didn't really care about the 15% off (I don't want to buy anything right now), but I was glad I could give my opinion. Plus who knows, I might find some use for it anyways.

The part about choosing our favourite phrasing made sense, I've answered lots of surveys, they always ask things like that. It's normal, they do want to sell the game. Knowing how to present it to make it appealing would definitely be useful.

And don't be afraid that they're going to do things to please the masses or whatever. I mean, they're obviously already working on it. They probably just want to know which direction the fans would prefer or something, but they'll do something they like and can be proud of, they won't sell out, I'm sure of that.

I was answer it when I see the "Favorite Shows" and... well... I don't watch TV anymore. I don't even watch Anime, I just read Manga. And the only actual show I do watch is... Samurai Sentai Shinkenger!!!!! Whoooo!!!!

That was random, I know

I know, I haven't had TV in years... So I answered with shows I liked but they're not necessarily the newest shows ever made. I'm sure that still works.

I always have great difficulty answering "favourite X" questions too... there are so many awesome things out there, and you want me to pick just 3?!

Yours is a good strategy. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who probably takes these things too seriously.

I know! The worst is when you have to make a whole list of your ONE favourite somethings. Like, favourite movie, favourite book, favourite song, favourite dish...
I always wonder if some people DO have a favourite one. Because I don't. The only I have is "favourite colour" (red) and that's due to the fact that we were 4 kids and our parents, to make sure they didn't mix our things, asked all of us to chose a colour which became "our" colour, and I chose red. (So my mother would sew a red dot on the inside of my clothes for instance, and she knew they were mine).
As a result with console games, I'd have the red save game, the red controller if there were several colours (N64) and so on.
So red isn't as much the most pleasing colour ever as it is part of my identity as much as my first name, if I'm making sense.
I still buy stuff in red when I can, although I've been drifting more and more away from it.
By the way, my brothers chose blue, green and yellow/orange (it's kind of "cheating" that he got two, but lots of things only offer one or the other so it was simpler that way.)

You have discovered my secret shame. I know next to nothing about marketing, but you have shown me the error of my ways! I will go right out and make a study of surveys so that their subtle ways shall be mysteries to me no more!

And I'm purple, and my brother is green. Those are our favorite colors, not that we had to "choose" any one color or anything. Those are just "our" colors.

"Epic comedy saga" made me think of the Serious Sam series, so I chose "gamings greatest sitcom" since it's like an interactive cartoon.

Nice to see other people have "their" colours. I've always felt a bit... different because of that.
Not that being different is a bad thing of course.

Your colour story was really sweet! I love different.

I'm also one of 4 kids, and we did have our "own" colours specifically for board games. I was white (sometimes yellow if there was no white marker), my brothers were red, blue and green.

Also, Mum always dressed my littlest brother in red when he was very young. We lived on a farm and he had a tendency to go wandering off, so bright red clothes made him easier to find again.

Trust me, if having "my own" color was the weirdest thing about me, I'd feel disturbingly normal. Not that I go out of my way to be different or anything, but let's just say that my friends and family tend to say, "but that's why we like you!" to me. And laugh at things I say for no apparent reason and tell me I'm "cute". (Although other people must stamp their foot when they're angry or why else did that become a cliche in the first place?)

We would just use a baby-leash on my brother, but that was mostly when we'd go out shopping or traveling or something.

And incidentally, I am utterly jealous of both of you. I wish I could have had three little brothers ... or ten.

GinnyN · 01/30/2010, 03:22 am

I must admit sometimes I wonder if in Telltale the people wonders about the stuff we talk here. Then, I remember we are Sam and Max Fans, this is not the first time and probably in Telltale are as random as we are.

I just wanted to share it guys

I just hate big words without any meaning what-so-ever. Stick to the point, please...

Oh, many major things about me are different, but I've always felt fine with them. Weirdly, it's the small details that make you do a double-take because you had never realised it wasn't the same for everyone, you know what I mean?

I only had one little brother... and I wish I could have given you all of my brothers :P

I think I get ya. But I always loved being around people who were "different" from me as a kid. Right off the bat my brother and I are are very, very different from one another (which made sharing things waay easier since we didn't like the same stuff anyhoo), and I liked having friends who were different from me. You learn about more cool stuff that way. Then again my friends were so different from each other they couldn't stand each other, so I guess you can be too different ...

Oh. Forget that then. I only wanted younger siblings, not older. I've gotta be the eldest or forget it.
