Is this from a "generate your own Kotaku title" type thing or was this actually published? Then again, what's the difference?

Do you see them? This is exactly why I watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. 1P

Well, that and the whole friendship and kindness thing makes me happy. And the bright colors. Also the toys. And Rainbow Dash is my best friend. But mostly because the writers of the show know their audience, and know that they'll go completely nuts when the twins go walking by with a birdcage. P

Such a happy thing. I'm so glad reader Bob pointed it out to me, because I watched the video and missed it. Me, missing a thing. Can you imagine? I mean, even BioShock creator Ken Levine was in on it.

Did you catch it, or did you miss out? You know, you wouldn't miss them if you all started watching the show. It's magic, you know. Tell you what, here's the whole episode (Hub Network lets fans upload them to YouTube). The magic moment is around...bah, watch the whole thing. You'll see it. 2

So is Polygon as dumb as everyone says so? I read like one expose on Silicon Knights from them but I haven't looked at their material enough to form an opinion.

quote:

I’m sorry to anyone who missed my gently coded warnings. When I said “we can’t wait to find out more,” at the end of a passionless regurgitation of a feature list, that was the closest thing I could professionally say to “I don’t even know what this game is”. The first time I heard someone say “we’ve really listened to our community”, I was impressed, and reported keenly on this consumer-orientated and responsive attitude. By the end of my career, all I wanted was one developer to say “we’ve ignored our community, as they are plainly loving idiots”.

And when I said “this game isn’t going to change the world” in the last paragraph, I meant “I’m sorry I waited this long to try and tell you that this game looks utterly poo poo”.

I didn’t mean to generate unwarranted hype, and I’m sorry if you feel like your life is burdened with a hype surplus. But from inside my cell, I was trying to warn you.
