It sold a lot of DSs and in that way, also expanded the market for Nintendo.
Granted it was the tween girl market, but hey, money is money.
DOOOOOOMED!
Newtron, we've already got Defender. The whole thing about people being dumb and buying dumb games because they're too dumb to know what the objective definition of fun is... well, we've got that covered.
Maybe you don't like nintendogs, but it isn't a "Bad" game.
While true some games are overhyped and can be flavors of the month, to sell over 1 million units even these days is a huge challenge. Sorry sir, but these are the cream of the crop games. These games don't have huge glaring game design flaws, they aren't made of fail. No, they have a special formula that is just fun and works.
This isn't to say that they are the best games, but they are indeed high quality among the best.
Apologetics is a word, but this is not how it is used. The correct word for the context is "apologist". For example "C.S. Lewis was a Christian apologist" or "Defender is a salad-tossing apologist".
Tetris has Sims beat completely.
There is almost no system that Tetris is not on. Including phones, pdas, and other shit that people have been known to port tetris to.
But that's tangent to this whole retarded argument anyway, which is really and truly based upon opinion more than anything else.
So fuck it.
Yeah well, solitaire has been on hundreds of millions of PCs.
I mean, it's got blocks in it, but the red block is literally just a copy of the green block except backwards
I don't see how anyone could enjoy except 12 year olds who get distracted by shiny colorful things
I am shocked, shocked!
GoFund The Portland Trans Pride March, or Show It To People, or Else!
"Fuckin A!"
What? Too scared to say ass? Or asshole?
because it's fun to say
Yeah, that's more or less my justification too.
I don't think A stands for ass
I think it's supposed to mean Fuckin' Aye
As in "Fuck Yeah!"

"Fuckin' asshole I am!"

They haven't been appealing to me lately so this is most welcome. Others didn't seem to mind so it's not really important in the grand scheme of things.
it stands for "absolut" like the vodka. it came from a failed ad campaign in the 80s.
I agree and a quote from my favorite scifi movie.
Like single moms and bipolar middle-aged women. On a serious not though, I don't think anyone is saying it is "awful" , but more saying "why is this even needed ?" You are right D&D would require more imagination than this game could ever offer. The creation toolset is just a ripoff of Blender, which most users just use instead. It's not like you are working with 3dsmax or Maya to make abnormal polygonal characters and items. IP rights over anything you make and sell in game is not anything new. There is that one game on the moon where the guy from Miami made a hotel ingame and flipped the real estate back to users. If you wanted to do realitor work, you could have become a realitor. Unless the entire idea of SL is to just live a fake life being what you always wanted to be because in real life a person didn't have enough determination to get there the first time. Oh wait, that is what it is....and it's sad.
D&D is also an escape for people from life, but it doesn't try to be anything more than a fantasy.
Actually, I think that Tycho is using the word apologetics correctly. The word "apologetics" can refer to formal arguments in defense of something (such as a position or system). So let's re-examine Tycho's quote:
"There is already a growing school of Home apologetics, fostered by the same Order of Perpetual Masochism that lauded the rumble-free Sixaxis at launch and suggested, hilariously, that Lair and Heavenly Sword were videogames."
If we read it with "apologetics" in the above sense, he is saying that there is already a growing school of arguments (one can have a school of argumentation in the same way that we can speak of schools of thought) being made in defense of Home - and that this foul and odious school of thinking is fostered by the same Order of Perpetual Masochism that lauded the rumble-free Sixaxis, et cetera.
It makes perfect sense if we use the word in this way, and I believe that the misunderstanding began when jwalk mistook the word as a noun referring to a person, rather than a noun referring to the arguments of a group of persons: "trust me I'm not one of the "apologetics" ".
In the context that jwalk used it, it certain should be "apologist" - but Tycho's post is fine as it stands. Perhaps it would have been easier reading if he has spoken directly against the apologists rather than the crude lies they manufacture - but that kind of editorial judgment seems out of place in a news post in which Tycho kept the language at a relatively high level throughout.
Then again, perhaps you were only talking to jwalk - in which case I sincerely apologize for attempting to correct an already correct statement.
But then, maybe I'm just a really weird guy - I almost always find the news posts way funnier than the comics (even when the comics - like today's - are fucking hilarious).
* Actually, things like the horrendous load times would still be a problem, but I won't mention that because I am an artiste and it would ruin the aesthetic flow of my post. (Speaking of load times- Sony! Just get Rockstar to program the engine for you! Hell, have them do the rest while you're at it. GTA4 is a much better "wandering aimlessly about the city" simulator than Home will probably ever be, even minus all the carjacking and violence)
because it was tremendously short, extremely linear, and really simplistic
to insist that home apologists (or fanboys in general) are like religious fanatics
Way to act like a cock and waste 1min of my life reading this stupid fucking post of yours.
