So I'm having trouble figuring out if the latest VGCats is satire, or if Scott whatsisname actually believes what the pink cat thing is screaming about. :shrug:

The impression I have is that he really feels this way but he knows that if he wants to express this opinion in public without universal ridicule he can only do so through a cartoon cat.

And like everything VGcats talks about, it's already an old debate.

It's what he really believes. And in my opinion, horrifically flawed.

"Hardcore" gamers have their heads lodged so far up their own asses that the term "colonhat" can't be far behind. The whole elitist mindset that gaming should be some special thing only for them is, well, bullshit. They scream about how casual gaming is ruining the industry when it's their own closed mindset that's fucking it up far, far worse. It's not even ruining, it's changing, and change scares the hardcore, like sunlight to dracula.

You want to try and get more, as you call, 'hardcore' games in? Use the huge influx of casual gamers and turn them into regular. Uncle Jimmy has one, he likes chess? Introduce him to SRPGs. Start basic, go more complex. Point him to a cheap PS2 and a stack of good ones. Bam, there's a convert. Grandpa was in the Air Force? Point out some of the more politically-flavored Flight Sims. Mouth-breathing brother-in-law likes ultraviolent movies? Throw Madworld at him.

Etc etc etc.

We are all Gamers. Drawing a line across the floor and demanding that the other side never cross it is bad.

... :nyoro~n: I need to stop getting so worked up over silly things.

It may or may not be what the guy actually believes, but the reason he made a strip out of it is more or less because he has lost his grip on comedy and is falling back on what seems to have worked before.  Angry gamer rants, in this case.

You do realize I earn more in a month making casual games than I earned in donations in the last ten years right

Naturally. But do you think growing up as a nerd has entitled you to a retarded martyr complex?

Because of that, Brentai, I've gone and checked out Sluggy Freelance for the first time in years.

The first thing I note is that even though I don't specifically know what's going on, it doesn't feel like I've missed much in the time I haven't been reading.  Particularly the website, which is still rocking 2001 or whatever.

The second thing is that Pete Abrams writes dialogue about as well as Brian Bendis. "SIT YOUR ASS DOWN AND WAIT FOR ME TO FINISH MY PHONE CALL OR I WILL SO SPANK YOU LIKE THE DEMENTED TODDLER YOU ARE" is truly a quote worthy of Doctor Doom

To be fair, Bun-Bun is actually supposed to sound like a jerk who hasn't updated his personality or lingo since 1997.

Is Oasis still a mind-controlled robot girl programmed to love Torg for some reason?
