What about the rest of what she said? Helper more or less indicated that teh wimminz don't have time to play games because they're too busy making teh baybayz n gettin da sammiches.
I have no problem with her wanting to be part of a family in that specific way, but associating it with women at large as a reason women don't play games and games shouldn't NEED be played....
Plus, I doubt Miyamoto ever said he dislike the playing games portion of his career. You specified recreational gaming, which Helper to my knowledge never did.
Qualified responses.

As much as I hate to pummel a dead horse, Hepler was an atrocious writer. I honestly feel that the razorfist vlog describes this best, and he doesn't even make a fat joke:

Just for the record, the most commonly cited inciting incident of the Brony culture is the response to an unnecessarily alarmist post on the popular animation culture blog Cartoon Brew, decrying the end of the era of Creator-Driven cartoons in television, which is odd, as most people had already been referring to Creator-Driven era (usually associated with "Ren and Stimpy", "Dexter's Lab", "Powerpuff Girls", "Beavis and Butthead", "South Park", etc.) in the past-tense for some time before the article came out. The popular story is that people on 4Chan's cartoon board, after reading the article, decided to check out the show on a lark, and actually found it wasn't terrible.

OT: Your pitch for a movie kinda reminds me of what i think M Night Shyamalan was probably going for with Lady in the Water
Although your film would probably be at least 9 times better.
Not to mention ME3 has a story mode, so what everyone was fearing now actually exist. And enjoy the silence of no one caring.Windknight said:
please tell me where in the me 3 credits it shows Heplers contribution?
Oh, and how is letting someone choosing to play it as combat lite hurting you? is it somehow stealing your gaming experience away?

so its alright for you to put words she didn't say in her mouth, and then damn her for them?craddoke said:
Obviously the best Venture Brothers character is The Sovereign, I mean who could make a better villain than David Bowie?MovieBob said:
I also think that another (but not the only) reason My Little Pony got so popular was because its creator worked on Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, both of which had a strong older fanbase.
Also, a best Venture Brother's list without Brock Samson on it? Frankly, I'm insulted.

I was thinking the same thing! He's the best villain/anti-hero/ vigilante ever! He's sexy, badass, and a great musician!artanis_neravar said:
I dont know what she writes or how good she is but before this I hadnt heard of Hepler. What happened was appaling and I cant believe this wasnt made a bigger issue. Its just ridiculous. Its truly indescribable how bad this is not only how bad it is in general but to have this come from our own community as well and then have very little to no press made about it is simply vile.
That third question told me that my question wasn't getting answered in the article but told me the answer to it any way.
I get the idea the answer to my question would have been that Moviebob has little intention of making his own little indie movie like so many online personalities (blip stars are making them, youtube stars already have, even ex Escapist talent Hank and Jed are finalizing) have been doing.

That's probably part of it ? the hubbub surrounding the Hub prior to its launch must have been pretty considerable among the animation-fan community both for the specific shows it was going to be airing and for the fact that it was a brand-new channel devoted to animated programming in general ? but the other big thing is how widely available it was made through YouTube. Almost every other current TV show has an army of lawyers mashing Refresh on YouTube to try to find pirated episodes and take them down less than 24 hours after they're posted, but Hasbro didn't care enough. When the lawyers did finally swoop in, it was practically as an afterthought and only after everyone and his dog had seen it.MovieBob said:
Except that isn't at all what she said.Zachary Amaranth said:
She suggested that certain busy people (like, say, her, a busy mother) might enjoy different settings than the "hardcore" gamer crowd.
Which is TRUE.
I play most games on Casual because I don't have the time to repeat levels after getting repeatedly killed by them. There are too many great games I want to play, and I have too little time in which to play them. The new Deux Ex game is sitting unplayed on my shelf because, between Skyrim and ME3, I haven't had time to play it.
There are games that have terrible game play but good - even great - stories (looking at you Xenosaga 2). I don't want to suffer through playing Xenosaga 2 again to see it's amazing story. In fact, I was sort of hoping for one of those DVDs with all the cut scenes on it - sadly not provided with the Xenosaga 3 preorder.
Having easy difficulty settings on games is vital to someone like me enjoying the game. I won't ever play Demons' Souls or Dark Souls because of overly difficult gameplay. However, if those games had an option to adjust the difficulty or skip over difficult encounters, I might consider picking them up.
That's the thing - providing more options to players is never bad. Adding difficulty settings or skip options doesn't force you to use them. You can still play on Hardcore Ultra Hard if you like - I'd rather play on Easy or skip certain sections if I choose. And if I like playing the game, or if I have the time, then I won't skip.
Also, in games I like and have played a lot (like Mass Effect) I will often up the difficulty for replays. Why? Because, when replaying, I obviously have time, and I am often back for the gameplay rather than the story.
Or, in ME3's case, the Multiplayer. I just got into Gold recently. Holy crap, that's fun, in a masochistic sort of way.
So yeah - I play the single player on Casual, and the Multiplayer on Gold. Why? Because I want the story to happen quickly, without annoying interruptions, but I want the multiplayer to be a fun challenge that is satisfying to overcome. Different desires for different situations.
