Question of the Day, August 2, 2010



The latest steampunk creation of note is an old globe that can control Google Earth when rotated. What do you think of steampunk?

I dont particuarlly feel that its the best setting but i like it all the same.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

I enjoy a good steampunk theme every now and again, but my true love is with clockpunk.

You're asking this on an internet forum. Full of gamers. I think we can safely say the general consensus will be that people love steampunk...

Anyway, that's my answer too. Steampunk is awesome, and I would personally love to have my own flat decorated with a mixture of modern stuff (like IKEA stuff) and retro steampunk furniture and items...

I do love it however I prefer cyberpunk.

 

[Legion]

I like it a lot, although not all of it. I do prefer Cyberpunk though, just about.

 

[crotalidian]

I Do live me some steampunk. Think it helps that hollywood havent seriously got hold of this yet so the nerds and fanboys havent got enough material to rage on for 'raping' their favourite setting.

only a matter of time though!

Whoo, Steampunk!
Ahem...underused setting in my opinion, but I'd rather it that way than to be overused.

 

[Jaranja]

It's different for me. Steampunk is only good if it's done VERY well. Anything less is awful.

Steampunk with mechs! Hot-blooded coal shuffling action!

 

[Jared]

Love steampunk, I think its a brilliant art style, and...classy!

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

I like it more then any other style. Fantasy gets boring after a while but steampunk never gets old.

Gah, ninja'd!

Steam's all well and good, but it just can't compare with the intricacies of tiny gears working together for one glorious whole.

 

[The Last Nomad]

Yeah I really like steampunk... Its certainly not my favourite setting. I prefer Cyberpunk but at this stage cyberpunk is a bit overused and I'd like to see more steampunk stuff, TV shows, Movies, Games etc.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

It's one of the coolest things in the history of ever.

 

[nick n stuff]

s'alright. wild wild west kind of ruined it though.

 

[Le_Lisra]

I think its cool.

The elements used in Thief made the game even greater.

Eh. It can certainly be overdone.

I guess I'm ambivalent.
