I thought of him trying to be a Maddox-clone as well, though that's an easy comparison. I've tried the overt negativism way of life (listen to Denis Leary stand-up, he's good start for that -- "Life sucks, get a fuckin' helmet"), but it got me nowhere but unhappiness. I prefer to enjoy what I'm doing or playing and not try to find the bad in everything. Sure there is some bad entertainment out there, and there are some bad things about Zelda. But gods if you can't find Zelda fun to play, you are thinking too hard and trying really hard not to make it fun.

Same goes for most of the big games out there that some people like to crap on just to be contrary to popular opinion. Same goes for movies -- over Thanksgiving my brother said he finally saw Knocked Up, and I asked him what he thought of it -- and he says (I quote) "I'm not sure yet. My problem is I can't tell if they were trying to be realistic or surrealistic. I wish they had made up their mind and gone with one or the other." I just sat gaping at him. Thinking too hard. About a comedy. Made by the makers of 40-Year-Old Virgin.... Jesus man, just enjoy the movie.
