A thing about me, and reviews

Dec 27, 2005 21:08

I've noticed in doing reviews of thing I'm much better at being explicit about what I dislike about something than what I like. I can be much more detailed and provide more in the way of support and examples. I'm not sure why, and I don't think it's exactly a good thing. It's possibly just because of practice, or because things that bug me, bug me, so I worry at them until I figure out why the bug me, while things I like tend to bask in each other's glow of niftiness, and not give the same urge to peck at them. And things that bother me are things I want to FIX, while things that work don't need fixing, so don't need to be messed with. Not when there's things that need fixing. If I'm going to keep posting things over on snarkoleptics, I should probably learn how to, 'cause there's only so many ways you can say "this is nifty, go see for yourself" before you start repeating yourself. And because there's few things I really want to post criticism of, because I tend to just stop reading something if I stop enjoying it. That and the weirdness of knowing whoever made the comic would probably read it.

So, anybody have any suggestions?
