If you don’t read Sean Malstrom, you should. If that makes me sound like his official cheerleader, then so be it.
On his homepage today, Malstrom juxtaposes the Book of Revelations and four key Nintendo executives. The results are humorous, telling, and 100% enjoyable to read.
Come and see, the voice said to me. I looked up, honked my trumpet again, and lo! Come and see! said the voice again, for another horseman approached. This horse was all black, the rider could barely be seen, and he held scales.
Reggie laughed and said, “I am the Horseman of Disruption,” and he used the scales on the market that showed where the profit is and where the sales were.
He’s been doing a run-up to the launch of Wii Fit, which, for all intents and purposes, will disrupt gaming almost as much as the console it was built for.
“The hardcore declared war on heaven.” That was so cool, I love stuffs like this, although I am sad to say that at this point, I have no intention of buying a Balance Board, but who knows, I love Nintendo too much sometimes. If you play Smash, F-Zero, or Civ IV seriously, you are hardcore right? Lol.
It’s the book of Revelation. Singular.
I forgot that he updates the news sections. I’ve only been checking the homepage.
Now this is funny….Yamaguchi using the PIMP HAND SLAP OF DOOM as the Horsemen of Control just makes me want to laugh out loud. Sean’s sense of humor is almost Daily Show like that I wonder if he is moonlighting as a writer for Mr. Stewart.
I just realized something about the last statement Sean said. It’s not really a strange twist at all. It’s actually the attitude most hardcore have. I noticed hardcore ECW fans have this same problem which was summed up pretty nicely by Joey Styles in reference to sign that said: This is Hardcore Heaven. “And if it isn’t anything like the ECW arena; I don’t wanna go.” Ironically; Joey Styles admitted later that he really didn’t like a lot of the graphic stuff that happened there. To hardcore gamers: Hell is better than heaven because Hell you become a king rather than a servant. And yes; I actually get the entire funny sense of humor Sean has. I like what he said.
Oh; and what about the statement about the hardcore playing the DS Epic “The World Ends With You” without realizing the irony. Sean didn’t even write the second irony to that: The Japanese name is called: It’s A Wonderful World. Yes; the elitists are THAT dumb.
They are really stupid. And no one has learned anything. Which is fitting for such a pointless song. Bonus points to anyone who can guess who said that in this paragraph; what show and what music video he was referencing. The clues are within.
