Yeah well how about this:

Stepheie Meyer makes millions and millions of dollars writing Twilight

Meh. I'd never get anything done if I allowed myself to get worked up every time somebody made a million dollars for doing something I think is stupid.

All this talk of bad books is making me want to ask my sister for an antidote, but since half her books are boxed up, the other half are disorganized, and she herself is going in for surgery in a couple hours, I might just have to read a pulpy Doc Smith book on my iPhone. Even that old hack wrote better romance than Meyer.

Try Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson. I'm reading it right now. Pretty tasty.

Like Vlad said, it's not surprising that Kojima appreciates a book that I could see a female version of him writing.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

Thanks for the tip. I'll ask my sister about it. Should be fun trying to get information out through the morphine.

Man, it seems like all the MGS haters are jumping to bash it because of this irrelevant drawing contest.

Of course. This is like Miyamoto saying that Uwe Boll is the best filmmaker known to man.

Sure, but I don't know if you can find people in this thread saying Kojima writes poorly. Most people are saying "His tastes are awful, thank god his work isn't as bad".

Now, personally, I do think that Kojima writes terribly, but I didn't go out of my way to write it until you just made me.

Now, having groaned my way through Twilight in a daze taking some kids to see it, I have to nonetheless say it was nowhere in the Uwe Boll league.  That's just a mean comparison.

 



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

I'm reading the first book now. It can be broken down as follows:

100 pages about Edward's face
100 pages about Edward's physique
50 pages about Edward's eyes
40 pages about Edward's skin
10 pages about Edward's smile

And another 100 pages about how Bella can't live without him. Keep in mind she's only known him for a couple weeks. In that time he's made such romantic gestures as stalking her, breaking into her house to watch her sleep and telling her he's a fucking vampire who wants to tear her throat out and drink her blood. Bitch is crazy.

That leaves approximately 100 pages of actual things happening. These things include riding in cars, going to school and playing vampire baseball.

And the meat of the book, their relationship, is pretty annoying and rather stereotypical.

Bella moves to Forks, Washington and starts school. All the guys love her and are very nice to her. She wants nothing to do with them.

Bella - "Who's that guy over there?"

Girl - "That's Edward Cullen. He's mysterious and beautiful."

Edward is a jerk to Bella.

Bella - "He hates me because I'm so lame and ugly!"

Edward is nice to Bella.

Bella - "I love him!"

Edward is a jerk to Bella.

Bella - "I love him even more!"

Do women not understand they're being portrayed as weak and submissive? I think there's a point to be made here considering they make up a vast majority of the Twilight fan base and swoon over this kind of stuff.

But still I read on....
