Nintendo, Square - Embarrassing?
Thanks to EvilAvatar for pointing to a recent update at the sadly semi-retired ToastyFrog site, in which Nintendo and Square are added to the list of The 20 Most Embarrassing Game Companies. A gentle roasting is applied to Nintendo for being "..called the gaming equivalent of Walt Disney. Partly because their work is innovative, polished and marketable, but also because a pervasive stench of evil hovers over the company", and a similar treatment is applied to Square, of which ToastyFrog posits: "Which is worse, the company, its fanboys or its ex-fanboys? The world may never know." However, this tongue-in-cheek cynicism produces plenty of good points, most notably Square's Tom Sawyer RPG as a "terrible cultural hiccup."
Nintendo has constant high quality for all of their games. Not only that, there is little that comes across as rushed.
Bwaahaahaahaa bwaahaahaahaa... *breathe*... bwaahaahaahaa. Oh man, that was a good one! I like your style.
Square Fanboys are fun to screw with especially when you go and tell them that Xenogears sucks and it's a sucky game they get all pissy it's fun to watch really.
Quiet you. Quit being a fanboy and open your eyes, KH sucked, and it sucked hard, accept it. No matter how much you rationalize it, it doesn't change the facts.
