That I agree with. It was a shitty game, but the dude didn't deserve all those death threats. Such is the way of the internet, I suppose.

Morality? WTF? It's just a game. What was he protecting these people from? Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

What conspiracy? Just because some people are pointing out that his excuse smells like bullshit doesn't equal a conspiracy.

It's not the "rip-off" part i'm concerned about. It's the "I'm making a bullshit excuse for why i'm taking my game down even though it's making me enough money to afford a constant stream of hookers and blow" thing that i'm focusing on.

1) Why Nintendo didn't sue the makers of Super Giana Sisters, I have no idea.

Yes, that's exactly the reason, and not because he ripped off this:

Dude, his game is basically one of the underwater levels in SMB, with Mario switched-out for one of the flying fish enemies. The movement is even the same, except you have to tap the screen instead of the A button.

If I was making $50K a day because of a crappy game, I wouldn't give a shit about what people are saying about me. I'd would just stay off the internet, lie low, and let this thing blow over when people find something else shiny to grab their attention.

Love Potion No. 9?

A Contra dance? Do the steps go like "up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right"?

If I were in Mia's position, those scissors would be in Woody's actual chest, not merely a picture of of him.

Girl has a major case of Casey Anthony Syndrome. She's been lying for so long about so many things, that her default setting is just to lie about everything.

It wasn't actually that hard, as long as you look around for best weapons, shields and spells. Any tough spots can be overcome by going up a level or two.

Yep. If you like the original Zelda or Crystalis, then you'll love Willow. The graphics were very good for 8-bit, and hold up well today. The music was excellent, and really matched the feel and tone of the game. There wasn't much grinding to do, since the max level you can reach is 16. It follows the movie for the…

Well, the NES version of Strider was metroidvania-esque, but the arcade/Genesis version was a full on action-sidescroller.

Yeah, both are super awesome games. I wish Capcom would release the arcade Willow on PSN and do an updated remake of the NES Willow much like they did with DuckTales. I would open my wallet faster than Paris Hilton's legs do when a night vision camera is turned on.

Mine was the fan-created flavor, Sticky Toffee. Since that's gone away, it's a tie between their Salted Caramel gelato, or the Lemon from their FIVE ingredient line-up, which tastes like Lemon Meringue Pie.

Once again, your metrics are way off. The Harry Potter Blu Ray costs about $40. Most 3-D Blu-Ray movies are usually around that price. Therefore, it's a good deal. If it was $100, it would be a bad deal.

You analogy is flawed. You have to factor in time AND cost.
