I always enjoy Grand Poobear’s runs at AGDQ and SGDQ and find him to be a very positive and supportive member of the broader Mario community. Nintendo’s multi-decade run of antagonism / indifference towards its biggest fans, as well as its general lack of transparency, is really maddening.

One thing that I’ve discovered over the decades of console gaming, is that the wounds that cripple a company’s offering in a given generation are nearly always self-inflicted rather than something a competitor does.

Playing Tearaway on the Vita was a revelation. Also, Psychadelica of the Ashen Hawk was a great little late-end visual novel with good music and great art, in a genre that usually subsists on middling quality.

Probably. Also, cocaine doesn’t pay for itself.

I’ll try to keep this as brief as I can, I may not agree with what Sarkeesian says but I support her right to say it and think she doesn’t deserve online harassment.

Ok, you have no idea what I’m actually saying because you refuse to read it, so you tell me to fuck off? How do you even know for sure you disagree with what I’m saying?

Oh brother, sorry we can’t talk about this like adults.

Fuck Martinez, fuck fuck Martinez...

I sure am! Trouble is, in the eyes of someone like Sarkeesian all sexual content is sexist content regardless of context.

Her opinions are basically the same shit as Thompson, no, she’s not a lawyer, doesn’t mean there aren’t still similarities.

lmao, always the same insults with you people, morons like you just cannot handle any sort of a disagreement or difference of opinion.

awwww, sounds like someone can’t accept that they’re no different than pearl-clutching fashies who wanna censor everything they disagree with! i know, it’s scary to find out you’re a hypocrite, but you’ll adjust.

and i don’t even play video games, but your stereotypes say a world about your level of intellect.

You, sir, are a true patriot.

I ran a record store in Gainesville, FL when people were being threatened with arrest for selling the 2 Live Crew album. I was fully aware of the idea that I could conceivably be put in jail for standing up for Luther Campbell’s right to say “pussy fart.” It wasn’t exactly as honorable as protesting the Vietnam War.

they can’t see the hypocrisy man, don’t even try. it’s not possible. 

Nah, I’m done, it’s a person who is impossible to have a level headed discussion about so I’m gonna quit while I’m ahead.

No, I’m not.

I don’t want to name names, but a certain figure in the ongoing controversy over video game content. 

“Pay”??? What is this “pay” you speak of??”--80s rappers

“You can catch Jack Thompson, later infamous for his equally hard-handed pearl clutching on the topic of violent video games, in at least some of those clips.”
