In my opinion our society is becoming more and more confused around what it values, it's like at times it's more important to be seen to do, rather than to do, with some individuals happy to talk up what they do when in reallity they don't do much!
Similarly, it appears that we've all got to be terribly professional all the time, if that's true I think it will stifle innovation. No one will come out and perform anything until it's at a virtuoso level for fear of being attacked by the ranks of self indulgent opinionated viewers, this attitude also stifles on line gaming, some folks are just to intimidated by the expectations of others and there reactions when they cant deliver that they choose not to compete... and that's a shame.
Who else is delivering what the SRT team do today at that price point (free)?
Whilst the show probarbly wont win an oscar for production. it still manages to get the information over in an engageing way, and has come a long way since the first broadcasts. The team aren't afraid to try things, sometimes they will work other times not. just like in some episodes theres more to interest me than other episodes. such is the variety and diversity of our sport.
Is it becoming more commercial? the pressure to produce a regular show as long and informative as this is demanding, so finding a way to fund it is O.K. by me, provided they can keep there integrity and honesty in the review.
Are any of the printed game review guides any better?
ultimately if it gets to the point of too many adverts and a lack of relevant content, I have the ultimate sanction, I don't have to watch it!
It's easy to find negative things in life, but if we continually focus on the negative, we miss so much that is positive.
more and more i see too much negativity in some of the forum posts, not just here ( this may be an age thing
). For me life's to short for all this negativity, I accept things for what they are or contribute to make them better by doing something or adding value in some way.
Whilst constructive criticism and suggestions can help to improve the situation. criticism on it's own, only leads to negativity...
I think it's good we share our opinions on whats good and bad, but lets strike a balance rather than just be critical. It's easy to find fault not all of us are perfect
sorry for the rant.....who said you cant please all the people all the time!
