I remember back when I played they were actually really neat promoting unnoticed levels. Was the idea started by a random person or an employee? I was never sure.
Mm Picks I believed were started because Mm wanted to show what levels they like from the community. I wasn't a member of the PSN until August 2011. But I did join LBPC before someone said that Mm Picks are going downhill.
I still remember the days the Cool pages had alot of neat stuff but suddenly they became so meh. Always loved bomb survivals though, well the well made ones c: They were always fun to play with friends.
Bomb survivals were fun back when they were new. But when they continued making them, it was no longer interesting. Too many bomb survivals is definitely a problem. But what the Cool Pages has wrong is that it was spammed by one person. His name is very well-known since he is a spammer. I'm not going to speak his name here, but the Cool Pages were a problem since he started taking over. Copying levels is one thing, but copying and republishing levels is a problem. Not only it's stealing credit from the inventor, but those levels are poor in quality and been spammed a lot. First, we had bomb survivals. Then we had shark survivals (which I didn't really like). Multiple variations of these are not very creative.
Was the lethal sackboy the glitch that happened a few years ago ? Like the glitch where you would stop spawning from the checkpoints and thus wouldn't be able to play the levels? Or do you mean the glitch where people made their sackboys made of plasma or some ****?
I'm talking the glitch where you make your sackperson dangerous to touch. Like when you make him/her equipped with fire or plasma, he/she will be dangerous to touch. I first thought it was a hack, but it was actually a glitch. It's problematic since people use it to troll others. They kill others' sackpersons in game, including the pod. They also use it to cheat and generate impossibly high scores. This is way worse than the duping bug in ACNL. The one thing that pushed it to where Mm has finally patched the glitch is when some troll is inviting people just to glitch their characters. He even impersonated a user from LBPC's spotlight crew. Once the glitch is put on, you cannot take it off unless if you follow the steps correctly. And yes, some people have experienced "spawn pop cancer" when they used this glitch, where their sackpersons automatically die when they get out of the checkpoints. Thankfully, Update 1.14 in LBP2 has patched this glitch once and for all. It prevented new users from glitching their sackpersons. There was even no grandfather clause (everyone who had the glitch on prior to the patch got it removed). This not only took away power from trolls, but it had an unintended consequence - where people can no longer cheat like in levels such as "Pigs in elevators (in space)".
Also haha the emo costumes c: I remember being one of the emos but only because the costumes were fun to do and mine were always an abstract mess.
I didn't like the emo costumes, especially the poorly-dressed ones. I mean, LBP is a kids game, and why are kids adding adult content in-game. It's bad for the community.
