The man: Ben Judd. Some producer at Capcom.
From an interview with videogamer.com posted on Kotaku.
“I liked Metal Gear Solid 4, with the exception of the story. I like Kojima’s stories, but they keep getting longer and longer. He needs to put the clamps on himself and only give himself 30 minutes. If he did that I’m sure they’d be fantastic.”
“BioShock was easy as Hell, I don’t care what anybody says. That’s what people want. They want to play through it. They want to die once or twice. It’s like an interactive movie, sort of. Gamers have lost their will to continually drill down on something. It’s also the fault of the developers. If you make enough restart points; if you make it so that if you die you can restart and retry without having to go back for an hour, which is not the right way to do it, I think people will keep trying something.”
Are you outraged?! The nerve of that man! He’s all, “Hey, I think Metal Gear Solid 4 had too much exposition. Also, Bioshock was way easy.” And then he has the nerve to further explain his opinion with a few more sentences!
HOW DARE YOU, MR. JUDD. You can’t just say things like that! You work in the video game industry! Dontcha know that means you are supposed to be a mindless monkey-drone that just dances, wears funny hats, and makes everyone happy? You no longer have the priviliges the rest of us have. Surely we can no longer support you and your work from here on out. We hope your family starves.
And now the opinions of some Kotaku commenters (a community of people who come together, criticize, and complain about the video game industry) condemning the man for speaking his mind.
“Speaks the truth? He’s just spouting his opinion in a negative and unconstructive way.
What is with developers, directors, producers, and PR representatives of games and game studios getting into this trend of trash talking one another? And was is with gamers nowadays encouraging this behavior?
It seems so petty and, well, childishly bureaucratic.”
“So Mr. Judd is basically saying that Bionic Commando won’t have a story. Well, that’s another one off the list.”
“Let’s see Bionic Commando, Bioshock, or Metal Gear 4!?!! Which one do I think is a mindless piece of arcade crap and the other two rich narratives with substance and story?
Hmmmm, such a hard question”
Yeah, you get ‘em! Everyone knows games are absolutely worthless without a good story! Like Mario Bros., sports games, Tetris, Lumines, racing games, Doom, Team Fortress, any online Deathmatch … wait.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see somebody try and make a rich, complex, substantial story and find some way to intuitively weave it into a Tetris game, but come on! Calm down.
And now for something completely different.
Another YouTube video. This one is the newest trailer for a game my brother Tony worked his audio magic on. Audio magic fully present in the following video. Oh, and look! There are automobiles twirling through the sky and forcing large spheres into rectangular openings! Presumably, you, the player, will be able to do these things in order to fulfill your government-mandated joy quotas!
The game actually looks like a lot of fun. Unfortunately, this is coming out for the Playstation 3; a console that I am 99% certain I will never own.
I seriously have no idea what in the sam-hill is going on here. I’ll just, uh, leave this here and …
Werd.

I guess it sort of counts as much as a “review” as the rest of them - though it is incomplete. More to come!
Also!:
And now for something completely different.
Hey, remember that “Mime Bitery” thing I did a little while back?
I finally got around to putting up the video of it in action. My older brother is the one who put the video together and did all the audio. Again; behold.
Kablam! I just made a few pages full of some of our coolest creations my brother and I have made with the free Spore Creature Creator.
And they all gots YouTube videos. Werd to your mother.
The new CarpalTunnelFunDrome YouTube page.
Dino Run, a simple flash game. In it, you are a dinosaur escaping extinction (large meteor-thing) and reach it to the safe cave. Throughout the game, you may collect eggs and eat critters and runners that you may encounter and, if you get enough experience, you can raise; Speed, Acceleration, Jump, and Strength.
The controls are simple:
Move Right: D or >
Move Left: A or <
Eat: S or V
Jump: W or ^

We’ve gone and done it again. Another review. This one is for all you Rastanfarians out there. Warning: Review contains much manly pantslessness.

Aynowthur wowne. Wurd 2 yer mothers. This time, we take on a game that is solely responsible for the ruthless murders of fifty puppies and has turned countless kids to crack-cocaine. Are you morally outraged yet? You should be.
