These will go through a few more changes and tweaks before the final piece.

I love you! *kiss*

Oh dick move!!! Now I will never hear the end of this.  Damn you Ass-id!!!

Oh be honest. You never hear the end of it ANYWAY!

Nothing like a late night discussion, huh? Oh well, you guys probably won't see that for a while I guess. (or me in some cases) Kinda done with a few things. Instead I'll just crack people down without getting involved anymore. Not interested in having to deal with PB. He makes me stay up too late.

I tend to have that affect on people online. Making them stay up too late, I mean! OH YEAH, and sorry bout not answering those IM's. I forgot to turn off my AIM on my iPod Touch when I went to bed. LoL, I got several messages from several people when I woke up!

LoL, and you can get involved all you want. In the long run, I'm just a man with a viewpoint as well!

Oh ho, that is pretty funny. One thing is certain, don't speak so readily as if you know how I am and the full scope of what I believe. I'm more inclined to define myself as a realistic idealist. A balance of the two, that while I admit, is not perfect, it does exist. I am living proof of it. I have dreams, just like this man does and I work hard to fulfill them. I have in no way, submitted to the whims of the world around me, conformed to "sheepish ways" as it were. If you knew my character, at all, you'd know that my "online persona" is a mockery of the concept of sheepism.

Am I a highly emotional person? Not as much as it appears, I'm just more expressive online than I probably should be. But shoulda, woulda, coulda I suppose. I am actually more in control of my emotions than I care to admit, it is just exceedingly boring to be stoic in response to things that it is more fun to be expressive in. For years, years I stowed my responses, opinions, and thoughts in the world around me and it proved to be a foolhardy decision.

Sorry bud, but I can only assume or judge anything about you or your character based on how you act online. When you post like you did above, that's how I'm going to judge you.

More privately, I admitted to this. Inafune IS indeed trying to do something. I respect that... but poorly thought out decision is just as bad as indecision. I'm all for trying to fulfill your ideals and everything, anyone that knows anything about me at all knows this much. But it would serve well ones cause to know what they are doing before blindly charging in, which is exactly what it looks like to me.

Having guts is only one par of the course. Doing something foolhardy such as quitting your job because you "don't like it" is foolhardy. Especially for someone who praises Westernism, because doing something like that over here would be the dumbest [parasitic bomb] a person could do. Especially in a time like this. Yes, recklessness can change the world and can even do things like save lives and make the path better for others... but I feel like it seems more selfish and irrational in this case scenario.

But when you say things like "anyone who thinks differently is an idiot" in regarding his decision, it limits the credibility of your argument. As for his decision being foolhardy, how do you know? Do you know how much money he's going to lose cause of this? Do you know how much money he has saved up cause of this? Do you know how long he'll be able to go without having a job? Do you know his future investment plans? Do you know if he's talked to bankers, accountants, lawyers, or anyone who might help him start up his own business, or sell himself for freelance work? Besides this interview and his announcement, how much information do you really have about the subject to make a clear, well thought out & logical rationalization about whether or not Inafune's decision will be "foolhardy" or not.

Hell, you just described how for years, years you stowed your responses, opinions, and thoughts in the world around you away and it proved to be a foolhardy decision. And yet you then criticize Inafune for pretty much doing not only the exact opposite of what you did, but actually following through on these responses, opinions, and thoughts on the world around him. Judging by this rational, this doesn't make much sense. Nor does talking to me about assuming anything about your personality & character from what I read online, but yet you're just assuming things about Inafune's personality & character from what you read online. It's pretty hypocritical.

I'll never deny that he knows more about gaming than me. Knows more about Japanese Industry than me. Hell, he probably knows more about life through experience than me. But, I still feel the way I do and I've never enjoyed not saying what I feel. And I feel he is making a big mistake. The prompting of my outburst is that the fans are practically praising him as some savior... when he really isn't. He's just a man, a man that is going out on a whim, for both good and silly reasons.

I want people to take it for what it is and stop sugar coating it and wrapping it in a bow. It isn't a pretty thing, so stop acting like it is, that is all. And of course, I don't mean YOU specifically, PB. That is addressed to others.

Again though, back to your personality, when you come off rambling on like an over-emotional immature person instead of saying things like this, then it really comes off as pointless emotional rage instead of logical, rational thought. If anything, you seem more pissed at Inafune's arrogance & his fanboy's praising him than you do his actual decision to leave, which really makes no logical sense. This is why I said there's a difference between challenging logic and challenging emotion. Perhaps people actually would stop sugar coating it and wrapping it in a bow if you actually told them this in a calm, rational manner, instead of insulting their intelligence. Just an idea.

Clarification, it is a beautiful thing.

Immensely so. 

However, in closing... you are someone I deem friend-to-close-associate of sorts, when it comes to RPM. But you really don't know me as it were, as I don't know you beyond being Protoman Blues, the egotistical party lord of RPM.

As such, it is best not to assume just based on cynical views on one individual. It is definitely best not to assume I have "given in" to sheepish, settler views. I am far beyond that, but I have achieved a sense of realism combined with my idealism. A lot has happened to me in my life that I cannot simply grasp hold of complete childlike thinking and delve headstrong into idealism. But that does not mean I will sacrifice my ideals either. There is such a thing called middle ground. I realize that it isn't very human for people to strive for the middle ground... being we're all a bunch of extremists by nature. But that is my goal. I want to find that shiny place where I am comfortable with my decisions and that they were the best I could achieve under the realistic playing field.

Perhaps that too, is truly idealistic.

And again, I can only judge you, your personality, and your ideals and views based on what you show me online, via your posts & your ideals. If you show me "you" based on the posts you made before this one, being an irrational emotional sheepish conformist, then that is how I will judge you. It doesn't matter in the slightest, because how I judge you doesn't affect how you really are or how you're going to act both online & offline, and you can continue to prove me wrong about you & your character any chance you see fit. As for how you judge me, all I can tell you is that I act online exactly as I do offline. All I know is that when you lecture me about how "it is best not to assume just based on cynical views on one individual." and yet seemingly do the EXACT same thing regarding Inafune, what do you think that tells me about your character?

« on: November 03, 2010, 09:18:27 AM »

Hahah, fair enough. Not everyone else realizes that however. Hence why humanity sucks.

Haha, you don't realize it either, because you're not a realist. You're a highly emotional person who has, judging by your posts, seemingly conformed to the sheepish lifestyle so many people have come to accept for "reality." For the sake of a late night discussion however, I will challenge your emotion.

What's really funny is that you are both right and wrong at the same time. You are right in that Inafune is an egotistical idealist and that what he's doing is a "dick move" so to speak. However, judging by your emotional responses, I think you're choosing to avoid some issues here, issues which Flame was trying to get across.

a big dreamer of an 'ideal world" so to speak, sure, but hey, at least instead of just whining about it from within Capcom, he is actually trying to take action and make a move to put his vision into motion. He can whine all he wants, but hes actually doing something about it.

Flame is absolutely right here. This is what sets Inafune apart from other "whining idealists." He's made a conscience decision to save a game industry he believes is failing. Is it egotistical? Damn [tornado fang]ing straight. Is it naive? Indeed. Is it idealistic? Ab. so. lute. ly. However, whether or not it's a "dick move" depends really on how you judge the man's character. There is no "truth" in anything except what you choose to see. However, the fact (not truth) is what I quoted, and that is that instead of doing what so many MANY people do and just conform to the sad, ho-hum lifestyle they wind up growing accustomed to, he has set out to try and change what he believes is a broken system. Whether or not his quest continues and succeeds will be left up to the history e-Books, or perhaps we'll find Inafune's grail diary in the Hidden Temple. Who knows?

Like Hypershell said earlier,

You know, with any franchise, one man doesn't make the team.  Inafune, like a great deal of other team members at Capcom, has done great things, and has made mistakes.  He is no guarantee of, nor obstacle to, quality.  He is a human being, one of many who have worked with MegaMan.  He has an exceptionally long-standing involvement with MegaMan, spanning the blue bomber's entire life time, this is true, but the degree to which he was involved varies a great deal.  The loss of one such as him will be deeply felt, surely, but it is by no means terminal to the franchise.

One man does not make a team. However, judging by his actions, Inafune believes that perhaps one man can make a difference in the gaming industry. Despite what you believe to be truth, this kind of thinking takes courage, and perhaps a little insanity. Another fact is that he threw away a very well paying job to do this. To me, that takes guts. Like you said, it's extremely egotistical and idealistic, but those are the type of people that sometimes DO change the world, or in this minor case, the gaming industry. We'll see what comes of it. Like Fxeni just said while I was writing this...

He's completely allowed to be as idealistic as he wants, but sooner or later he'll find out how just how much things are the same everywhere else.

Maybe he'll change the industry & maybe he won't. Only time will tell. The only thing I'll say on the matter is that being that he's been in the gaming industry for 20 some odd years now, I think he has a better look into it than any of us do, on both sides.

LoL, what would be the point? There's a difference between challenging logic & challenging emotions, and if you can't see the difference between the two, the discussion would drag on and on and on and on until absolutely nothing is resolved, which in the long run, is why humanity tends to "suck" as you so emotionally put it!

I'm not speaking about anyone here in particular. My point is that when you give hardcore fans a choice, and other said hardcore fans don't not agree with your "said" choice, there is usually no "agree to disagree" among fans. There's just bitterness. What I quoted up above just goes towards this point.

Gaming / Re: The "What are you currently playing?" Thread

« on: October 31, 2010, 06:37:21 AM »

Never played the first one on Wii, just how was it set up?

The problem I had with the first one's control scheme was that the you couldn't move the nunchuk around like his hand when using the Force Powers, specially Force Grip/Grab/Throw. I couldn't fling him with the Nunchuk, and rather instead had to use the Analog stick. It wasn't a "major" issue for the most part, but I just felt the controls could've been better.

My problem with the Wii version of Force Unleashed is that, for all intents and purposes, it SHOULD'VE been the best one. It had the most perfect control scheme with the Mote Chuk combo, and they totally f'ed it up.

I thought it was responding to Hypershell. And you should know by now it's ALL about me! 

I just wonder where he will end up. He's not very fond of Japan's videogame industry, as he stated many times. But he kept praising Level-5, is that a possibility?
