A good amount of those are from the epic "raid" 4chan's /v/ is doing now - reminder they used to champion this game until it became a best seller and "popular". Now it's destroying the industry.

Aren't 9 out of 10 threads in /v/ bitching about how Gone Home is for lesbians and not a real game and also saying at the same time that the VGX was retarded garbage (it was) while also bitching that it gave Gone Home an award (that doesn't matter)?

Nah, the future of gaming is indie development and its infinite creativity. We can look forward to Minewar Z Craft Gun Zombie Survival instead. Why make sequels when everyone else just throws Minecraft, Day Z, Rogue-likes and poo poo into a blender for you?

To be fair, I kinda miss Link being left-handed, because it was an interesting character quirck and made him more than just an elf who saves a princess.

It's not a big deal, but it does take out a quirck that I felt gave him character and I can understand some left-handed kids were probably a bit sad to see a representation taken away from them.

He's left handed in the Gamecube version still and I'm fairly sure he is as well in A Link Between Worlds. I think it was just as simple as making a concession for motion controls so it's not awkward for most people to swing physically right handed and have Link still be a lefty.

Edit: I definitely agree it's pretty minor but it also would have been nice to have an option to flip what hand Link would fight with.

It seems like these days inevitably every discussion online turns into a debate about feminism, weight or privilege in some form or another.

ANYWAYS. Some content. From AGDQ 2014 this year the runner for Kirby, Controllerhead, got into some poo poo and got banned for it such as being drunk and hitting on people, breaking someones NES since he got pissed, etc. The responses on Reddit about it were pretty rational but you'll get the occasional dickhead still.

The extra hilarious thing is that she goes on a date in the latest game and spends the entire time talking about how she hates it and she is just there for the steak, although she prefers to hunt, kill and cook her own steak. So whatever deep personality this guy has imagined where she wants to listen to his poetry and pick flowers with him is literally the opposite of the character that they claim to be a fan of.

That actually sounds kinda funny and clever. I have a feeling it's probably kinda poo poo in practice though :smith:

If you want a mechanical keyboard go to Goodwill or whatever your local thrift store is. Chances are you can find one there for a couple bucks and it'll be just as good as anything Razer makes.

What gets me is that even after this ultimately proved disastrous with Other M, which performed badly everywhere, they're still using the Other M Varia suit and face design. Hell, Other M has a better Samus model than Smash 4.

That high heels zero suit was so bad in Smash 4 I had to look it up the first time I saw it to verify it wasn't a photoshop. It's just nuts to me that they'll ignore Prime 1 which is one of the most acclaimed games ever and even Prime 2 and 3 which were still well received and say "You know? gently caress it.

Though I'm loathe to speak in its defense (could this even be called a defense?), it actually was supposed to be bland. Sakamoto personally stepped in and directed the English VAs himself, wanting them to be more listless and dry.

Why a Japanese guy decided to step in to coach English VAs (who are legitimately good actors at that)...well, let's just say the game's dev history is chock full of developers.txt. :v:

I'd say game_devs.txt fits in just fine here. And that's not so much a defense of Other M as it is excusing the voice actress and damning Sakamoto even more.

I was joking. He was one of the biggest SC2 pro players for a while and eventually Team Liquid had enough of his poo poo and outbursts.

Reading through the posts on Teamliquid (the one I linked has 25+ pages) I am having difficulty believing that anyone could make e-sports look professional. I think the e-sports community has a different definition of the word "professional" than people who actually work in a professional business environment.

Oh definitely. If any other athlete for any other sport pulled the poo poo these people did even once they'd be out on their rear end.

I wish I could find the video but I remember seeing some five way group call of SC2 commentators and some of them nearly looked like they were in tears when they found out IdrA got canned. It was the funniest loving thing.

Fake edit: Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LI8rS0cs6I The way they're talking you'd think that the the president had gotten shot or something. 'bout 10 minutes in the guy on the left does actually start crying it looks like or at least is having trouble holding it together.
