I think the point of the article is that they AREN'T making the game. That's the problem.

What's it like to be absent of any semblance of perspective?

If I say something you don't like will you mount a cross media internet campaign to ruin my livelihood? Up until the point where I donate money to some cause that has no relation to my original statement. That's tantamount to extortion.

Perhaps your experiences have differed from mine, but I feel like you're mistaking "what female gamers commonly experience when they play online" with what female gamer BLOGGERS commonly experience when they play online.

Wow. This guy is out $1000 because a flock of busy body 'net harpies attacked him for expressing himself?

Walmart. Fuck them and they'll fuck you back. Except harder and without the benefit of lube.

So playful lists on blogs have to conform to your idea of gender equality too huh? If you've got someone to add then please...do so. Or is a snide remark the extent of it?

Clearly corners are the true culprit behind video game violence leaking into the real world. Won't someone please think of the children?!?

Toad is like a pharmaceutical company. He doesn't want to give Mario what he needs. He just wants to give Mario enough to keep him coming back.

Well, yeah. They're not anti personnel rounds. They're anti light armor.

It might stop a .50 Cal bullet, but the force of the bullet should destroy your phone.

They're both good movies. Why does one invalidate the other?

Awesome. I can't tell if it's articulated though.

"In the end, this is really economics at work - a developer should feel free to price their goods at any level they choose. The issue is simply whether we as consumers buy it or not."

I was really into the Tron level at first, but then I realize it was just shooting infinite ammo at gold boxes. Sprinkled with an interesting, but really cliched explanation for the Geth/Quarian conflict. I just wanted it to end really.

No, you're right too. Length isn't a sufficient means of measuring value. The game industry has shown that they put emphasis on new ways to fool consumers. Tacked on Multiplayer for example. If length were the final measurement they'd just fluff their games with things like level grinding etc etc etc.

You want to kill used games? You want to kill deep discount business models?

No, I got that he's grasping at straws to figure out a reason why he's still just the guy that made Populous and Black and White.

So it's not Microsoft's fault that his games have sucked for about a decade? It's the chair lady's fault.
