I agree with Squilliam. Mental Ilness would also make sense- why does he put so much time and energy into these long speeches when his opinion has minimal effect even amongst gamers? |
Mm. He probably does it for the same reason I make long-ass posts: he likes the sound of the keyboard tacking. Mind you, his are worth reading. Besides, you can say the same thing for all of us here in the forums, or for most editorialists who have ever lived: why bother? The answer is actually pretty straightforward. You want to share your thoughts on a subject, and you keep writing because people (such as myself) are actually listening.
I'm not sure if you've read all of his stuff, but if you ever have a few hours to spare I recommend that you do, especially the articles proper (beginning with the ones from The Wiikly in 2006). There's a lot of stuff to digest there, most of which made only marginal sense at first but which became increasingly likely to be correct as time marched on. Someone in this thread said that he's over-rated because he made a lucky prediction; actually he's given his reasons long before he was proven correct, and he's been right on several occassions, which unless he's unbelievably lucky tells me that he's got a grasp on the situation.
