Wow... look at how many people are banned right off the bat. I didn't think this topic was THAT divisive.

Because all the developers that were going to have exclusive launch titles jumped ship and left the Wii-U with no games for almost a year and a half. A time that Nintendo was counting on 3rd party companies to fill in the game between launch and all their 1st party games. Pretty much the exact...

Anita was only name dropped. She wasn't the subject of the whole episode so I don't see why anyone would focus so hard on that one topic out of everything ELSE he brought up. And the fact people DO kinda indicates that current geek culture isn't exactly working "just fine," as you suggest. From...

You know... when MovieBob suggests geek culture needs to grow up, it's quite disheartening to see so many posts in this thread dealing once again with arguing about Anita. She was only briefly MENTIONED in the video, but by looking at the forum posts you'd think the whole video was about her...

Honestly with how misogynistic, homophobic, immature, and childish the gaming community is at the moment, why should any woman degrade herself to be part of that pathetic stupidity? You want women to come out of the woodwork and admit they like gaming and being associated with gaming culture...

I have to say I missed Susan's ability to keep the podcast on topic. There was a moment in the middle there where one of you was trying to talk and everyone wouldn't stop laughing or cutting them off. Funny at first but irritating when it keeps going and going. Let the man speak!

I will say this, after listening to the latest couple of podcats, I really REALLY miss Susan's ability to keep everyone on topic.

Pretty much what I was gonna say. Nintendo had a very good line up initially, but one by one those titles have either gone multi-plat, been delayed, or been scrapped entirely by 3rd part developers. That's not exactly Nintendo's fault nor could they have forseen it happening. It doesn't help...

There's always an excuse to hate Nintendo it seems. No matter what they do right, it's never "enough" for people. I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't need games to come out every week to keep me interested in my consoles. If I upgraded to a Wii-U now, I'd still have new Wii U...

Last generation this same sabotaging tactic was used with great effect on the Wii. Developers would make bad ports and crappy mini-game compilations rather than making original games for it, wouldn't market them, and then proceeded to blame Nintendo for their "poor sales." I'm really glad that...

Sadly there are no showings near my town so I'll have to rely on reviews from fellow Bronies for my information until it comes out on DVD or something. In the meantime I wish two things: 1. That people would stop freaking out over it. 2. That MovieBob would review it.

The problem with market research is that it shouldn't be your sole basis for why you do everything in your games. Naughty Dog felt that including the female character was important to their game and they had to FIGHT to put her on the cover because "market research" told them that doing so would...

It's creepy because: 1. It implies that women aren't important enough or are somehow detrimental to the sales of a game. By your logic of "what marketing tells us" the latest Tomb Raider should've had a man on the cover. 2. It ignores reality where women do make up a sizable chunk of the...

There is an issue with the creepy fact that the concept of a female character on the cover of a video game box DOES lower it's marketability. Don't give me the "market demands it" rhetoric because that's a cop out. By the way, Naughty Dog's game does feature a woman on the cover right now...

I've got a Mac. I approve of this boycott.
