    I'm your mother and "I can do whatever I want" attitude

    Right, well... I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and...

    Jaffe: Games Industry Needs to Get Over Itself

    I agree with him, but then I think that gameplay is where the "art" is, rather than, say, the visuals. From a slightly different perspective, Steven Poole wrote this article [http://stevenpoole.net/trigger-happy/into-the-woods/] on The Path by Tale of Tales...

    E3 2010: Link Returns In Zelda: Skyward Sword

    I'm left-handed, and I don't see a problem. You're only being asked to move your wrist and elbow, after all. In fact, I (personally) prefer holding the nunchuk in my left hand, since the analogue stick requires finer-grained control. (Now, the 3DS, on the other hand...)

    Nintendo Remaking Legendary Zelda: Ocarina of Time For 3DS?
