RE: Nintendo E3 presentation

    I have a really great idea for a new game. It starts out with a quick time event in which all of the major Nintendo characters die in a painful and graphic explosion. Stephen Fry then appears on screen and explains to the player that if he or she is feeling nostalgic about an old favorite game, they should go play the original. The player then takes control of a Nintendo executive and is sent on a quest to fire the game design staff and embarks on a fantastic adventure to employ young and creative game designers and artists. Upon completion the player is rewarded with a cut screen in which a team of talented writers takes the English translation of a Japanese game’s script and use it as a guideline to rewrite the game’s dialogue so it doesn't sound like a 11 year old wrote it.
    It seems fitting that Nintendo featured a Disney game at this years E3 for several reasons. First, and most significantly because they both sold out to the point where the original creative spark is barely recognizable under the low frequency shit storm that is nin-dis-no. Also because both companies hardcore fan bases consist of overly protective fanboys, or in Disney's case sexually suppressed teenage girls.
    In conclusion: The adjective epic should never be used to describe yarn.
