No, we didn't HAVE an opinion on Rare before the buyout because there were no games. Only then did we realize, "hey.. they took forever with their games." And when we saw Star Fox Adventure, well..

It's explainable.

By not playing Nintendo games or buying Nintendo products if they were bought by Microsoft, you would be displaying honor and allegiance to Nintendo. But if you did continue to play the games, it would be the same as serving the American side in Vietnam war. We were led there with a false purpose, it was not necessary for us enter battle there. The soldiers fell prey to their own leaders. The REAL reason for Vietnam was for the government to try their newly developed hallucinogens. And guess who the guinea pigs were? American soldiers. And the one of the saddest parts is the hallucinogens weren't even safe. They were created to make the soldiers fight harder, longer, and more fiercer. But it was a double edge, soldiers fought their enemies and each other under the evil effect of the unsafe hallucinogens. If my testament wasn't enough, then let a movie called Jacob's Ladder take you further down the hole of truth.

If you play Nintendo games under Microsoft ownership, you're being a misinformed, deceived soldier. And the punch you take, will be from the fist of a friend.

GM, you are messed. You are comparing video games to a war? A god damned WAR. You know when people ACTUALLY DIE painfully and not the imaginary kiddie deaths that happen in your Super Mario or Legend of Zelda.

If you really take a video game that seriously... uh... what can I say? You need help?

He doesn't. Please try to understand his humor... and then PRETEND he is serious... it's better that way.

Don't ever compare videogames to war.
