Newsflash: Moron Exists, Bloggers Beat Him To Death

So, by now anyone that’s reading knows about Super Columbine Massacre RPG! and that it was nominated and unnominated for some award. But just in case you’ve forgotten, I will provide you with a recap because I’m good like that.

Some dude makes a game about the Columbine Massacre. Some people hold it up as proof that games is art. Other people hold it up as crap. Somehow it gets nominated at Slamdance. Then it gets pulled. Then like everyone and their brother pulls their game in support. Then USC pulls their sponsorship of the competition like a cool school would do. Then DigiPen forces their students to unwithdrawal. Game bloggers go insane trying to keep up with it – most of them never even played the SCMRPG! but have very strong opinions about it. Fucking bloggers.

You thought that’s where it would end, didn’t you. Don’t lie.

You were wrong.

Fucking bullshit. Seriously.

I don’t want to say that it deserved to win the Best Documentary Award. I didn’t see any of the documentaries. The thing is, and this is what’s important and so bear with me while I get serious for a second, a game almost won an award for best documentary.

Ignore the controversy. Ignore the history. That shit doesn’t matter.

Seriously people in blogolandia. SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR A MINUTE AND THINK!

They wanted to give a game an award for best fucking documentary and all you want to do is bitch that they didn’t. Who cares that they didn’t. I mean sure, that would have been fucking cool and all, but the fact is that they wanted to. Back when I was a kid, momma always told me that it was the thought that counts. You’re not calling my momma a liar, are you?

If the jurors want to give the game this award, it means that we have gone somewhere that most never believed that we would. We just make games afterall. Here were a bunch of movie guys saying you know what, games can be more than just fucking games. That’s right, we have a bunch of people, more importantly, People That Matter believing that a stupid game can be as big and as important as a movie. That it can make a point. and that it can documenterize. We also have a moron in charge of it all that pulled the game and refused to back down even when he should have.

Let’s see, where’s the news here? Moron Exists or People That Matter See Games As Worthy.

Yep, that’s what I thought.

OMG! Moron In Our Midst! Kill Him!

New Resolution

Ok, so this whole blog thing was a New Year’s Resolution. Get a blog and write every day. Fuck that. I don’t know what the fuck I was thinking.

New resolution: Get a blog and write in it sometimes.

About me

At some point, someone is gonna wanna know who they’re reading and why they should care. The fact is, you shouldn’t care. I’m just another asshole with an opinion or two. I don’t even know that my opinions are good ones, but I like em. I also change them. I’m crazy like that.

Work? Yep, I’ve got a job. In fact, I’ve got the greatest shit job in the greatest industry out there – the game industry. It gets a bad wrap, some of it well deserved. But it’s a hell of a good time, even when it sucks. Ok. Sometimes it just sucks but at least I get to play games. At work. Beat that.
Life? Yep, I’ve got one of those, too. No matter what anyone tells you, it’s more than just sitting on my couch playing and talking about games. Sometimes I go to other peoples couches to sit around playing and talking about games! Also I’m a wanderer. City or ‘burb, it doesn’t matter much as long as I’m roaming without a plan.

So, I have no idea what else to say. If that was’t enough, feel free to ask. Just don’t expect an answer if you don’t answer it yourself. Them’s the rules.

Hello again!

All the cool kids have one of these things. Let’s take em down a notch, shall we.

Hello world!
