I'm going to assume everything's still resolved between us up to now and answer honestly without any intentions of "starting something" or anything like that, so I hope for all this to be conveyed in a tone that's nothing but calm and explanatory: Because it sounded incredibly condescending, whether you'd intended it…

Man. Puts into perspective how stupid the things we're going on about is, doesn't it? Shit. The idea of caring about Jeep or Mazda that much seems hilarious to me...... but here we all are, spouting a bunch of shit about some guy who makes videogames. Yeesh. It's both refreshing and disgusting as a concept.

I was doing research for a project on the Zelda titles through the N64 and begrudgingly played through Majora's Mask and Zelda II..... all of the others were an absolute delight to revisit. I expected Majora's Mask to be a lost treasure with all the hype it had, but I'd never tried it...... and then I played it, and…

I'll gloss over the sanctimonious tone you're taking here, like you're handing me the life lesson I myself identified, or that I somehow deserve to be harassed because people didn't like what I had to say to conclude that every once in a while I'll phrase something poorly, and then never hear the end of it. Then I…

I'm not ducking anything; I really can't overemphasize how much I don't care, however, and didn't expect to be dealing with responses still from folks determined to pick apart every word I said to "prove me wrong," or defend themselves from whatever offense someone perceives me to have committed, or whatever it is…

Yes, because the honor that comes from internet arguments about things I don't care about is worth "growing a pair" over, since I'm such a "pussy." My entire argument can be summed up in a single quote:

Dude..... your 20 comments here blasting everyone who doesn't like Kojima... in a row... don't paint an image of someone who has any rational stake in this conversation. Calm down. Despite trying to remain calm with other folks, I'll indulge a bit here.

No fucking shit. I was stunned to wake up today to 11 fucking notifications, where people went to every damn post I made and gave me some bullshit snark back about being capable of theoretically understanding a point someone else made based on a Tweet's worth of evidence. Fuck me. His fan base is as crazy as he is, so…

If you're going to take the time to read and make grumpy replies to EVERYTHING I SAID that you don't like, then maybe you should have gotten to the bottom.... the part where the individual I was have a relatively polite conversation with and myself inevitably said to each other "It's okay for me to talk shit about…

It's good to be able to criticize what you love. For some, it's harder than others. Unpopular opinion: I think Majora's Mask is hot garbage, and I ADORE the Zelda games (did.... did my username give that away...?). Being critical of the games and creators we love matters, as I think it elevates us as players and the…

I like happy endings, and I'm content to leave it at that. We all have different opinions and preferences. I'm glad to live in a world where Kojima brings you joy, and where I can also talk shit about him, and in the end, we can respect each other. Cheers to you, internet citizen!

Was this written in response to someone else entirely or something? It ends with "So you're just flat out wrong" which is a pretty radical departure from the otherwise amicable opening of "fair enough." Then there's a bunch of stuff here about "my facts being bent to fit my theories"..... of which I really don't have…

I played MGS1. I ADORED MGS1. I rented MGS 2 with a friend when it released, we blew through it in about 2 evenings, and both looked at each other and thought "What. The. Fuck. Was. That.....?" That's when I tuned out completely. I guess if you do something really weird and people are already madly in love with you…

First and foremost, take a deep breath. You're making a bit of a fool of yourself here.

If this was a social experiment to see how quickly you could get fanboys to froth at the mouth from mentioning Kojima and misogyny in the same sentence, I wholeheartedly solute you. If not? Well, based on the Phil Fish tweet up there, I must say I'm inclined to be receptive to your viewpoint, unlike many others. Then…

It would be nice. Frankly, as someone who loves Nintendo and sees them floundering as much as they are, the fact that they're not 100% all over moving to an all-streaming future for third parties at a bare minimum is bizarre to me. Hell, even an OnLive app would bring a ton of "new" games instantly to a poor system…

Might be able to get Microsoft to pull a 180 on that one too. Kidding, of course.... but maybe not. I wouldn't be stunned to see Xbox Live come to Windows at some point, even just as a matter of brand recognition, especially if they do give up on Xbox as a console, it may not even remain exclusive to the X1 for more…

I definitely saw this coming from the second it was announced, so I'm glad they didn't waste much time with this. I don't know why anyone wasted time getting too worked up about this. Do they forget already that practically every other X1 exclusive is already coming to PC this year, less than 1 year post-launch. There…

Dear god. Sewer Shark. I seem to remember that as essentially being literally QTE: The Game! Wonder why they don't get more credit for embracing the practice. I know, I know, it's because the game was trash, but still. Haha.

Interesting. I hadn't thought about it as a lack of digital distribution rights, but that definitely fits the bill here. I'm guessing they're hoping that people will pay enough through the Kickstarter to be able to buy them down the line? I remember that game from when I was a kid. Aside of one time to remember it…
