Kevin McCullough defends his blog postings on air fielding phone calls from upset gamers over his misrepresentation of Mass Effect's sexual content and gameplay.
The discussion starts right from the get-go.
The collaboration you’ve all been waiting for is here – Yorkshire Tea and your favorite console’s controller.
Hmph, you were lucky enough to be playing games with a yorkshire tea controller!
Back in my day we only had rectangular controllers that would give you blisters and wear your thumbs down to a nub!
The new rules set by Japanese gaming giant, Nintendo, might threaten future content, directly impacting the profitability of many community-driven events.
"The profit of these tournaments is directly impacted by these new rules, as sponsorships are being forbidden, maximum prize money is limited to $5,000, and food/drinks can’t be sold at the tournaments."
Why even bother.
1 thing I've realized over the years is that Nintendo likes bragging about "fun", but it's "fun" how they see fit, and they often go against their consumers for the dumbest reasons. Just gonna do this stuff underground style, who are Nintendo to stop anyone from organizing community based tournaments anyway? How does this actually hurt em?
They've always wanted smash to be seen as a fun, casual game and nothing remotely competitive, which is in stark contrast with how Sakurai develops smash. He puts in so many little things to master for high level competitors. It's just sad, especially for the melee community. They kept the community going for 2 decades now even while all the time nintendo was trying to sabotage them.
Best Buy is offering the LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog Green Hill Zone set for an aggressive rate this Cyber Monday.
I believe one of the best moments from this podcast is when a caller is questioned about purchasing video games for minors.
"If you find a 15-year-old with a 6-pack of beer you don't go blaming Budweiser."
Followed by 5 seconds of silence.
Burned.
Trying to help society become a better place? Ninja please, he's trying to get hits to his site and radio show and fame by resorting to sensationalism. It's an age old tale and I'm not being fooled by his "noble" causes here. People writing half assed articles about stuff they truly don't know of? Yeah that's new.
Woo M rated = it's for 15 year olds. The 17 and up on the box be damned. Like most of the "crusaders" for kids, he's shirking parental control off on the game industry. He SAYS he controls the content for his kids, but I'm doubting that commitment to sparkle motion. His own son snuck one in under his radar, how is that the game developer's fault? He's asking how it got into the hands of 15 year olds, hell how'd you let your damn son get it?
I wish I had known this was airing, because I would have called and reamed that guy.
but I've already got a bit of a headache. His arguments have little basis in reality anyway, and the only thing he proves is how quickly an idiot with a keyboard can generate hits on his website.
Wow, the dude got his butt handed to him. XD I dont care what anyone says, Ignorance is not bliss.
Wow I never knew how wonderful Xbox was before. I will buy 1 for me, and all the kids in my family now so they can experience pure heaven.
(Actually would like an xbox)
