Dude, everyone around you is being reasonable, and you're being kind of an asshole.
Read your comments aloud until you understand what people are getting at. You're entitled to your opinion, but that doesn't mean it's bulletproof (or correct).

Three words: Metroid Zero Mission. It's one of the few games to hoist a stealth section on the player without it being awful, and then follows that up by giving you a fully-powered Samus Aran directly afterwards.
It was not only gratifying from a gameplay perspective, but it was probably the best game in the series to show why everyone is terrified of Samus; she is quite literally an unstoppable, somersaulting killing machine.

@sixfootgnome: I really want to agree with you, but Williamson has explicitly said he is pro-Israel, and that it leaks into his work. So whether or not you read it that way, the creator's intention is there.
@metaphorical_cowboy: Issue #50, to be exact. I know plenty of people who shrugged it off, but it stuck with me.
I'm always glad when an imprint title makes it, but Fables lost me along the way.
My own political beliefs aside, I just completely lost interest when the story became a heavy-handed metaphor for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with the Fables as Israel.
My friends argued that it wasn't explicitly pro-Israel, and that it's a story about people who lost their homes. Then I showed them Bigby's page-long rant explicitly comparing their situation to Israel's.
I'm all for smart infusion of the author's ideals into their creation (hell, I just finished Planetary and I'm starting Ex Machina!), but it came off as needlessly specific; in my mind, it killed the otherwise broad appeal of a smart story.

Legitimately the most touching thing I've seen all week.
Sorry, Pixar Studios' It Gets Better video. You've been bumped.

If they fuck up the western release of this game (for instance, by forcing us to go to a website to find the magic symbols or some such shit), I will kill and kill and never stop killing again.
Happy Thanksgiving, Americans!

I'm playing through Kirby's Epic Yarn; in fact, I'm playing through it twice.
In my first file, I'm doing co-op with my younger brother. We're essentially reliving our SNES days, and loving every minute of it. We aim for high bead counts, but I find that Epic Yarn is HARDER in co-op; I can't count the number of times I've been whipped and rolled up by accident. Or on purpose.
In my second file, I'm playing alone, taking my time, and aiming for a gold medal on every level. I really, really like this game, and it's one of the few titles I don't regret buying at full price.
Also, I picked up Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg for 10 bucks. It's a Yuji Naka game through and through, although it has some challenging design decisions.

I'm Canadian; things are tough enough as it is. Winning something like this would be really nice.

At some point in the recent past, Japan became a goddamn parody of itself.
Suda 51 simply had the balls to make a game series about anime tropes.

@Frosted Mini-Wheats: Actually, Punch-Out!! and Mario Strikers (both the GC and Wii versions) were made by Next Level Games, a Canadian studio based out of Vancouver.
WayForward made Boy and His Blob, along with Contra 4. Both good companies (although WayForward's overall game history is kinda spotty), and they both deserve ALL OF OUR MONEY.
Seriously. Punch Out is one of the best titles of this generation and nobody bought it.

I'm more excited than a green snake on a complimentary tour of a sugar cane processing plant!
If I were to date a Starfleet girl, she'd be well-versed in otherworldly science and technology. She'd be open-minded, and more likely than not, she'd be an interestingly-coloured alien.
However, if I took out a member of the Green Lantern Corps, I'd know that they could create any object with their mind, and would possess unrivaled willpower. Also, the form-fitting uniform provides a good reason to keep in shape.
Sexy alien commander, or fearless willful space cop?
Why not both?
@Welcome Ta Earf!: I can't think of a single name from Norse mythology that wouldn't fit in with 80s hair metal. I'm honestly trying, and everything works.
My heart just sang a song in the key of awesome.
