I won't have a pop at you, you calmly explained what you did and didn't like about fighting games. I think one factor is, people tend to like to watch things that they like to play. Another thing is ease of play and available options; one reason I'm an advocate of slightly more simplistic fighting games. With…

I think you're right when you say that the skills involved are hard to see. A lot of casual observers will walk by, get impressed by a combo or two, and then kinda just waver off and lose interest.

Just to add to that, while it was clear that Piglet and Faker did very well to win the game for their team, its important to understand that it was a team effort in the end. They couldn't have done that without all 5 members of the team working together to achieve victory.

So I am pretty involved in the slot machine industry, which has always been viewed separately from the video game industry in many ways, though they have had some common roots for some time, especially with…

The interactivity was a massive part of making Journey as special as it is.

I've infiltrated their ranks successfully. They believe me to be one of their own. It appears they report to a leader who is referred to as Chicken of the Sea in their native language. That's all I've learned so far. Two of them may be onto me. I'll need to silence them tonight before my assignment is discovered.

Boy, you're an annoying one aren't you. Bet you're fun at parties.
