Sep 19th 2006 7:04PM (Engadget)Tingle RPG gets "gay"
Sep 9th 2006 5:27AM (Joystiq Nintendo)But for crying out loud, why does this game have to make it so in-your-face! Tingle is one thing. Yes, he is a stereotypical homosexual fairy-boy, but can't the rest of the game just play like a normal Zelda adventure? Do they have to force such material at you in large amounts?
And this is not just because of the extreme homosexual overtones, but flooding any game with one character-type seems unsuitable for the average gamer. This is one case where there needs to be diversity by adding some STRAIGHT characters. I don't know if the whole game will end up this way, but when a character as insignificant as a bridge builder exhibits such actions, it's all but certain.
I just wouldn't feel comfortable playing such a game, but that's just me. Anyhoo, peace.

Rumor: Hillary Clinton preps for video game tax
Jul 24th 2006 3:40PM (Joystiq)It really pisses me off when topics that matter to me get completely ignored. Our government finds it more useful to spend time on taxing video games, tearing down the 10 Commandments, and go chasing down people that download music off the internet. OBVIOUSLY such things are much important than basic human rights. We could debate killing babies in the form of abortion, but the MPAA needs to get their money for all those illegally downloaded copies of "The Matrix" first. Someone can't get their priorities straight.
There's another election coming up in a year and a half. Now I don't know how much President Bush has to do with our gaming hardships, but 2008 is a clean slate. We must choose then, and make sure you examine all the issues. You'll probably find that this particular issue goes much deeper, and opens up a door too all sorts of taxation issues that you have an opinion on.
If none of that made sense, the first paragraph was a comment, the second was a rant, and the third was advice.
