The Big Picture: Memorium

[talideon]

definitely one of the most important men in gaming and one who changed the course of gaming's history. If it weren't for Yamauchi then console gaming would have been dead.

Europe never had a gaming crash. Might console gaming have died? Maybe, but doubtful. More likely, the gaming focus would've been more influenced by what was happening with the European gaming and demo scene than it subsequently was. It'd be different, but I doubt it'd be better or worse than it currently is.

Cue Tesla vs Edison internet battle!
I didn't flinch when I heard the news either, but to be fair, I wasn't raised on Nintendo, and since I never had any of their consoles, I was never exposed to any of their games growing up... hint hint Nintendo...

In the same video:
"Don't deify people"
and
"Yamauchi-sama"

mfw the honorific "-sama" is used to address gods and those equated to gods

Uh... No. Maybe once, a looooooong time ago, but now, and for a long time, it just confers great respect. In fact there's one even higher, "-dono" from "tono" meaning "lord/lady" and even that isn't on the level of a deity.

What is happening to Bob's accent? Was it always this thick?

I had a hard time making out a lot of the stuff he was saying past 2.00.

Maybe I'm just used to hearing people with accents, but I never had a problem with his native Bostonian accent at all.

It's only a little bit stronger than say Jake the dog on Adventure Time.

I never really got what the big deal is.
