This map was featured on 2009-05-16

These days, any dda with spammed enemies, massive thwump sections or anything that made the author edit pixels for weeks gets 5aved by an inordinate audience. And out of everyone I've watched, all of them seem as repetitive and tired as the last. "It’s a kradda,I get it, it’s just plain boring to watch."

Not so here. Yeah, the ninja taunts masses of enemies as he wonders through the level, but the difference here is there’s actually a theme and a story to tell. Complementing the gameplay perfectly, it’s just a dream to watch. Make something different, reap the rewards. — Guitar_Hero_Matt

MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP THE CHAIN GUNS MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!

Holy poo.

5aved
but I noticed it was a DDA when it was just submitted.
Reading the comments makes me glad I missed this, too, despite how great the DDA is (I don't think it's really as original as the review suggests, but at least it's more so than my DDA which got featured, and it's well-made, too). While I wouldn't have featured this myself (I would've chosen another one of LordOfPeanuts' maps), its getting featured is perfectly justified.

The main problem I have with DDAs is summed up in PALEMOON's comment: "it's like, you know the ninja's not going to die, so why bother watching D:"
When I first saw a DDA (Brickman's "Running Man"), I didn't even know what DDA stood for. I just knew to hold right, so I did so. Since then, I've never felt the same tension and excitement as I did then, because I always knew the ninja was going to survive (except, ironically, in badly-made DDAs that don't look like they were tested properly).

While DDAs may not be the most exciting and/or fun maps ever, saying that they should not be featured because they are DDAs is stupid in my opinion.

I can argue

everything, if I want.
I agree with LD. If you want to decide what to feature or not, go and apply for reviewership. Maps aren't featured because they're the best in the genre, or use something special. They're featured because either the reviewer thinks the map needs attention and that they love the map. Saying 'blablablablabla clifty owns this blablablabla' doesn't mean anything. If only 'the best' maps got featured, we would have a boring stagnation of a single author, because 'the best' is subjective. Just stop whining guys. If you don't like the review/map, don't rate it well. But don't go ranting about taking away reviewership because you disagree with quality of a dda.

and -LordOfPeanuts-

sorry for this all ^^

dude

karma, calm down. If this was pointed at you, okay, but gheesh... I just said my opinion. And if I didn't know better, I'd say that you are jealous of me, although I don't know why.
It's clear that I don't have a problem, but that you have one...

you know what is so funny crescor? It's that anyone can be a dick, but you're always a dick, thats the main difference between you and I, all you do is say this is a dumb feature, acting all "I'm so great, here's 4 words for you", well thats exactly what I'm trying to say, you can easily say you disagree, but you have to be the same old crescor, and start shit with anyone you can...

Haha

After all that, you've ended up with three times as much comments as rates...
But I still have my 0th, so it's all good.

nah don't you mind,

this is fun:)
... with the feature. But hey, I loved this, so yeah.

@ origami

I might be a dick, but so is Karmap0lice.

ska said it

Most depressing terminology ever :P

Bacon

.

geez

that was kinda... uncalled for.

Karmap0lice

At least crescor has a featured map...

haha^^

These comments are hilarious

0_o wth

I leave to go to work, come back and now I have a feature and a crap load of comments. Fantastic
And most of them weren't about the map. This one included.
Anyways, thank you, and goodnight. Thank you life, for actually getting the major point. The rest is subjective, the stagnation's a fact, I'm afraid. Anyways, yeah. Thanks maxson.

I was taking your comment a bit too literally apparently, but I was trying to say it's a good thing you don't have atob's position (who decides who is and who isn't a reviewer) because that would be a sad day to see GTM demoted because of the genre of map he was featuring.

@happy_taco: I don't know what you mean, but I don't think many people understand the role of a reviewer. It's a difficult job to keep after a while when you've featured most every worthy map in your favourites.

@crescor: If you came back to just be a dick to everyone who you don't "love" then please just leave again. We don't have to like each other, but you posting "idiot" on another users map when we have discussed conflict issues like this in the past just makes me want to ban you. Fortunately for you this is a verbal warning. Don't fuck it up.

Oh,

and that Chase DDA is up there on the list of most viewed maps ever, so why bother featuring it?

GODDAMMIT PALEMOON

YOU RUINED THE MOVIE OMG WTF SPOILERS

damn it

i need to google more before i say things, not democratic republic, but you know what i was trying to say

and life brings up a good point, why hate n-arts and ddas when they come at most 5 time a month

flag

I love you man.

@ life247.

Yeah this isn't a way to save a dying breed of maps. Like I stated before people go to the feature section to find a great map to play. PLAY!!! Its that simple. Most people don't want to watch a ninja jump around the screen while you sit there and do nothing. DDAS are fine. I just don'think they can nor should be feature material.

Wait wait wait!

Since when was NUMA a democracy?!

DDA

it's like, you know the ninja's not going to die, so why bother watching D:

it's like watching the sixth sense when you know bruce willis was a ghost the whole time.
S-T-O-P.

This isn't the first one and it won't be the last. I was one of the first people to see/comment this map and I stand by what I said because this DDA came out in a period where there was a GIGANTIC lull for DDAs (and even N-arts). While this might not be the best DDA, GTM obviously didn't want to drag up an old Clifty DDA because that would start a big "way back when DDAs were more than just a novelty" argument.
He's trying to save a dying genre of map by showing that today's mappers still can make DDAs, even if there are only a few *ahem* left.

and, of course

there is clifty.

still, i have no problem with the review or choice or whatever. it gave us something to argue about, it will be gone tomorrow, what's the big deal?

Chaser's War stuff

still hasn't been featured. just suggesting. gently.

Haha

You guys are so busy arguing, no-one's even trying to take away my 0th.
Works for me =]

crescor

how is you posting idiot on my map going to solve anything, how childish can you get?

hey,

thank you flag:)

At T3chno

how was What KarmapOlice said provoking anything? And Just because Lord_day has more authority doesn't mean someone can't say something, What part of that makes sense? Honestly.
idiot

there i got involved and possibly provoked a flamewar. help!
