I'm failing to find the 'funny' in this article. I've seen every point he's raised hundreds of times before.

In my opinion, my and many others preferred way of gaming will end. This is not funny, it's actually quite sad.

I'd like to know how you arrived at that conclusion.

My guess is it totally ignores the concept of market saturation, which would happen if every company made tons of the so called "casual" games (a designation I don't agree with btw).

I don't like swearing, but I have to say: What a cock!

I think I may go through this in more detail later, but so far that will have to be my response.

He seemed to be a little more clear minded for the first two-and-a-half paragraphs. What happened?

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made.  I won't open my unworthy mouth.

The inner tension was just building up until that point.

I'm gonna play me some Team Fortress 2 so that I don't become a casual. See you guys around!

I always love that people complain about having to "move your arms in a certain way" is somehow worse than having to move your thumbs in a certain way.

This is what I responded on his blog.

“My boss wouldn’t last 30 seconds in an online match of Call of Duty. Why? Because those games require actual skill and NOT EVERYONE CAN DO IT.”

Dude this was so funny, so damn funny. Thank you.

So your boss isn’t skilled enough to play a game that any retarded 10yo kid can play, but still hes skilled enough to rule your life by being your boss and exploiting your work. That’s just priceless. Thank you again.

haha I was wondering who wrote that, it cracked me up



PC + Wii owners unite.  Our last-gen dying platforms have access to nearly every 90+ rated game this gen.  Building a PC that visually outperforms PS360 is cheap and easy.    Oct 7th 2010 predictions (made Dec 17th '08)

Funny stuff. If he's worried about games getting dumbed down I think he's a little late. Did he just said that Prince of Persia - Sands of Time was hard? Apparently he hasn't played ANY NES game. Play the original Final Fantasy. Play the original Contra. Play the original Ninja Gaiden. Better yet, play Battletoads.
Hardcore? Skill? Gimme a break.

Eh, I don't think the NES era was so much about skill as it was rote memorization, which is fine but not to be confused with something as lofty as "skill".
