With SMB2 I felt like it was kinda a cheap way of ending the game, as there's nothing in the game itself to suggest it was a dream and it just came out of nowhere, leaving me scratching my head as to what I've been doing this whole time (Note: I love the game, but the ending sucked.)<br /><br />But with Link's Awakening I felt like everything I did still mattered even after the island vanished away. The people may not have been real, but they still affected you as you played the game, and they live on in your memories. And if you do it right, Marin actually escapes from Koholint into the real world.

Yes...Because Mirror's Edge was published by EA.<br />Yes, the online pass EA.<br />Yes, the destroying developers EA.<br />Yes, the Origin EA.<br />Yes, the defending the right of Australian gamers to play violent games from our own government EA.<br /><br />Because of finally clearing Omega in Super Meat Boy.<br /><br />Because there is a high-quality RPG with lots of stunning vistas, excellent gameplay and hardly any glitches, on the least powerful platform of this generation. (What, you thought I was talking about Skyrim?)<br /><br />Because of Skyrim's single-minded dedication to four words: "go anywhere, do anything."<br /><br />Because Serious Sam exists.<br /><br />Because while everyone else is holding up Alyx Vance as a non-exploited female character, some guy in Japan made a predominantly-female cast of over 100 characters...and not one flaunts her body. (Not in official artwork, anyway.)<br /><br />Because Bastion has about the best audio I've ever heard in a game - sound effects, voice acting and music alike.<br /><br />Because there's only three commands that Tom Clancy's Endwar won't let me use.<br /><br />Because Shogun 2 probably taught me more about Japanese history than my Japanese classes.<br /><br />Because Okami and Touhou probably taught me more about Japanese mythology than my Japanese classes.<br /><br />Becuase the hardest part of any hack is the figuring-out-how-to-start phase.<br /><br />Because of indie bundles that introduced me to some top-notch games I'd never have even heard of otherwise.<br /><br />Because Psychonauts exists.<br /><br />Because there's at least one modern military shooter that actually has a halfway decent campaign.<br /><br />Because Sega, instead of shutting down Christian Whitehead's Retro Engine, hired him - Genesis does what Nintendon't.<br /><br />Because despite all the bad things you hear about popular games and decadent publishers, at the end of the day, at least most games are fun to play.

"Because god is a mother reading bed time stories to the stars." to be specific. And I haven't cried in years about everything.<br /><br />Since this seems to be the trend:<br /><br />Because, due to my childhood, I have more respect for the Boss (a.k.a. the Joy) as a mother than my own.<br /><br />Because I thought all warfare was wrong until Metal Gear Solid taught me that some people just need killing. Even if they're trying to save the world.<br /><br />Because the first time I had truly knew physical freedom was when I backflipped off the tree in Super Mario 64. <br /><br />Because the Goron have a tech advantage and a renassaince level elf helps rebuild their economy.<br /><br />Because Star Fox Assault shows that Shigeru Miyamoto can learn to tell a third act as much as hiding from a sometimes corpse centennial shows that Hideo Kojima can jar fun in a disk. <br /><br />Because Kirby's one tough dream puff, Kirby's Adventure is science fiction and in the wee hours of the morning between Rush Limbaugh challenging a fat lady to sing and signal the end of the Bush Sr./Clinton/Perot election and Benny Hill trying not to clothe women as comedy a twist ending taught me that sometimes the labelled villains were an unlikable king and his ignoble vassals doing their job.Foolish Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01287942013964439688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031707140462457270.post-22175428865363089762012-02-29T17:49:58.187-08:002012-02-29T17:49:58.187-08:00I apologise, I haven't checked every comment t...I apologise, I haven't checked every comment to see if someone has mentioned this but...<br /><br />Bob, did you just reference Bob Flanagan?<br /><br />WARNING: The following poem may offend some people.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f6V2LefAi4Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031707140462457270.post-37873945975561887442012-02-29T17:17:15.214-08:002012-02-29T17:17:15.214-08:00Because that Christmas morning when I got my first...Because that Christmas morning when I got my first game console, a Game Boy Color.<br /><br />Because of the Super Mario Deluxe and Pokemon Yellow games that came with it.<br /><br />Because I had a Looney Tunes game; loved it, lost it, and so the happy memories might never be dimmed by replaying it.<br /><br />Because of Golden Sun: it's universe and everything in it.<br /><br />Because Fawful has FURY!<br /><br />Because of all the times I've secretly tried to summon the Keyblade.<br /><br />Because I brought down 16 Colossi and became a God.<br /><br />Because the first FPS that I ever played had Pokemon and photography.<br /><br />Because the second one was Star Wars: Battlefront, the best military FPS I have ever played.<br /><br />Because Link is always just a normal guy who discovers that he can save the world.<br /><br />Because the above story line is a huge cliche, yet can still work every, single time.<br /><br />Because a whole heart container can appear through the power of two yetis' love.<br /><br />Because my cousins and I still consider Smash Bros. to be the only way to settle our arguments.<br /><br />Because, sometimes, a giant, mutant turtle can only be beaten by a plummer with a raccoon tail.<br /><br />Because Portal exists.<br /><br />Because Portal exists, and people liked it enough to give it a sequel.<br /><br />Because Portal 2 was, actually, still good!<br /><br />Because Andrew Ryan let me shoot fire, ice, and bees out of my hands.<br /><br />Because a Batman game could finally live up to being a Batman game.<br /><br />Because that happened twice.<br /><br />Because I can shout at things to throw them across the room.<br /><br />Because, less than three years ago, games were just still a fun hobby to me, but now, I am learning all I can to make games myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
