I want to meet this guy and shake his hand.  He makes a lot of good points that are both well thought out as well as rarely brought to light.  While obviously some portions of those videos were slightly skewed towards his own personal bias, (which can only be expected as original thought stems from opinion), he paints an overwhelmingly accurate picture of gaming conventions and culture as whole. I'd like to point out that I don't necessarily disagree with his preferences, (in fact I almost complete agree with them).

I particularly liked the various parts discussing the "hardcore" gamer, which are very true.  As much as I hate to say it, the only friends of mine that play games fall squarely under that self-proclaimed label.  They refuse to play anything that isn't a shooter, (first or third person), or a sport game.  A couple of them play WoW, but that's about as far as they're willing to stray from the mold. I have no problem with people playing shooters or sport games, but when they refuse to even TRY something different before proclaiming that it's "gay"...well, then there is a problem.  It's extremely frustrating and honestly just sad.

It's also sad that he hasn't really covered the idiocy and futility that is known as "fanboyism".  If there is anything possibly worse than the "hardcore" gamer it is the dreaded fanboy.  I can only assume that he's planning on creating at least one video based on internet drama amongst gamers. *crosses fingers*

So give me you're code and add mine:

Sorry guys.  I just don't have the time anymore for the CP.  Working two jobs and just having a couple hours to play my Wii and continue learning programming just is not leaving me free time to focus on the CP.  I feel that it's my obligation to step aside as Level Director.  It's just a time issue.  Since I am also a global mod that also takes some of my focus from the CP.  So, it's nothing against anybody or what not, I'm just out of time anymore it seems.  Sorry again.
wtf, i remember posts that used to have content explaining reasons rather than ways to get rises out of users with a youtube video and no reason as to why!


How to post maturely:
epic intolerance, I caught aids from the stupidity in your post

why not issue everyone 5 opinion tokens for each year, if they voice their opinion without presenting a token- they can be legally murdered
Make sure every post you make is mature like these two (and there's many more). You just can't beat ZFGC's friendliness and maturity!

I agree with that guy on a lot of points.
I also agree that character design has been lacking in recent games.

He also reminded me of how much I need to get No More Heroes!

Please elaborate on this a bit, (why do you disagree, etc).  I'm not trying to be Nazi, but right now your post doesn't really have much for content.  :-\

Yeah, the initial videos were a little too over-the-top in how they criticized modern gaming, almost like a form of reverse elitism...this one though, was fantastic. He dealt with a very sensitive issue and stayed funny and truthful throughout.

About romance in video games.

Not as great as the ones where he touches on more controversial/relevant issues, but still solid.
I hope he buys a quality mic/headset soon :P

Completely nails why the GTA series has never meant anything to me.

he blows opposing arguments out of proportion and fail to address the important issues (i.e. lack of good games on wii compared to either of the other consoles)

he's trying to mask "e-anger" and profanities for the sake of profanities and colours it as intelligence. Listening to that for 2 minutes was torture.

The man really doesn't know what he's talking about


This guy isn't clever or funny. He's a rampant Nintendo fanboy. Just shut up about him.
