What a buncha dicks.

Either way they get to assume superiority. Funny that.

I love how the plagiarism guy doesn't think retro games are part of anyone's backlog.

Anyways, nice article. And as much as I can whine about Kotaku sometimes, they are a very good platform for articles like this

Anyone worse than me is a noob, anyone better than me is a tryhard.

Especially if you spot someone on the Internet who enjoys something. You're DEFINITELY better than those people. Devoting time to a hobby that you enjoy? HA! Losers!

anyone who likes things I dismiss is a poser, anyone who dismisses things I like is an elitist

You could make a Bingo card out of these comments.

Basement
Neckbeard
No life
Virgin
Retarded

What am I forgetting?

Also,

That is a signature-worthy quote if I have ever seen one.

The most off putting trend from the comments is people considering short games to be in some way invalid. Have people become so accustomed to their games being padded to the nebulous "official retail length" that anything below is somehow throwaway?

But I would say that, cos I pad my list with fighting games and platformers all the time.

more shameless self promotion (look at me! look at me!) - I did an interview for a podcast called "The Short Game" : http://www.theshortgame.net/15-how-to-play-400-games/

I also did an interview for another show that should go up late this week, and I'll post that when I get the link.
