Like many forum users know, I get angry easily and quick.
A year ago, I got into a shouting match with one of the most arrogant A-hole's I've ever met.
I was competing at a science fair, the kid was probably a year younger than me.
First, there are guys in their 50's competing in this fair, with very professional skills.
Secondly, how does this kid get in? This is what happened.
A crowd of people are "oowing" and "aahing" over something displayed on this kid's TV. I walk up to see a PS2 hooked up and him displaying a video game he "made".
I noticed the "RPG Maker" case sitting behind the PS2 console.
The kid said:
Quote: "Yes, I made this game myself."
ME: How'd you program all this then format it to a PS2?
KID: I used a special type of software. I won't go into detail, you might not understand it.
Me: (laugh)
He then returned to the crowd lying his pants off about how he scripted and programmed everything they saw.
ME: That looks like RPG Maker.
KID: I modelled the objects after some of the objects in the game.
ME: No, that's RPG Maker. It's a real amateur software.
KID: Ha! Well, what do you use?
ME: C++, DarkBasic, and FPSC or FPS Creator.
KID: (laugh)
1. This kid is using a PS2 to create games.
2. He uses RPG Maker, a software I've disliked for a long time.
3. He's lying to a crowd of people.
4. He's an A-hole about it!
If he comes back this year, I will surefully say something.
