She's apparently a voice actress (does the voice of Lana in Archer) who Ubisoft apparently invited to help with their press conference. In one interview she mentions GAF and says something about being a gamer or some shit.

I accidentally mistook her for being an Ubisoft PR chick, but she has no connection to Ubisoft otherwise.

Oh, wow. I had no idea that Lana = Ross' annoying GF. She hot, but she old.

think that sums up Nintendo's attitude perfectly.  I imagine it is hard to do that kind of stuff and knowing that their waterhead supporters will buy whatever Nintendo slides out of their asses, why bother making the effort?

well exactly - people think kissing the arse of a company or swallowing any old tripe is being "a good fan". It's not. If you are making excuses for your "team" then they'll never -EVER- improve.

People should demand more from Nintendo - it horrifies me that these people cheer on N profits and actively enjoy being sold undercooked hardware at a huge profit for N. That's cheering being short changed.

"These Mars Bars have halved in size, yet doubled in cost! .... HURRAY FOR MARS CORPORATION!! Oh man, look at them profits! OH YOU LIKE MY BAR, ITS SO TASTY!" :/

It made sense in the beginning because fans believed "More Wii Sales =  Nintendo has more money to make more/better games, 3rd parties are forced to put their AAA titles on the Wii". Instead 3rd parties have continued to not give a rat's ass about Nintendo's home consoles and if anything Nintendo's own output has diminished, but fans are still locked in cheerleader mode. I suppose they've all managed to delude themselves into some combination of "this time it will be different!" and "everyone else just makes shooters, only Nintendo games are whimsical and fun!"

Nintendo is the victim of its own success, and so are Nintendo's fans.

I just don't understand holding them up to the standards of some indie developer and spinning the situation into something that doesn't reflect reality. "Implementing online is expensive and challenging, and we're lucky we're getting an update to a niche franchise like Pikmin at all." They're not some mom and pop outfit. These are launch games for a new platform that were touted heavily at the biggest gaming spectacle of the year. They have the money to hire competent network programmers to implement the basic features practically every other game has, especially when these games are supposed to showcase what this new hardware can do.

Wait wait, that woman was Charlie from Friends? 

She also used to be the host of Talk Soup.

[brawndolicious]

I love the idea that instead of just creating female characters with depth and that are badass, they decided to take the badass ones and give them the typical hardship: weakling -> tough trope that is not just overdone with female characters but in general. Everyone needs a backstory. Everyone needs a struggle. If you're a good enough writer you can get people to be sympathetic to characters and their personalities without such emotional exploitation of "see where they came from? see what they had to deal with?"

But lol at me talking about good writing and games. Just another issue that keeps it a joke.

lol at "good writing" and "games" being in the same sentence.

There's a handful of great stories in video games. Most recently there was Deus Ex, Assassin's Creed....I guess LA Noire counts as a game.

No it's possible to make a good story in that format and those stories should be respected for what they accomplish, but most companies put no priority on that type of stuff.

Assassin's Creed...good story

[Atramental]

Thank goodness books exist to satisfy my "good story" cravings.

Well, I know that fiscal results are always on my mind when I'm gaming. "Sure, this could have been better. But the corners cut were pragmatic and really helped Nintendo's quarterly results. This game gets a 10/10!"

It's better than most video game stories, though. However much of a convoluted mess it is with Desmond's storyline being included aside.

That's a pretty low standard. When I think of a good game story, I think of I dunno, Monkey Island 2, or Day of the Tentacle, or Portal 2 or something. Assassin's Creed? Good? By what metric? If anything it's just average. It's standard vidya fare.

Yeah, I found a pastebin of an irc dump. Very disappointing, but the dude did come off desperate lol.

Speaking of gaf irc where is it? It seems to be unspoken of on the forum.

Texts late at night. Kind of passive aggressive ones at that.

IRC, they went something like:

"Hey, you said we would hang out, why aren't you hanging out with me?? I guess you'd rather hang out with Evilore?!? HAHA j/k Please come hang out with me."

I've done it a few times in college, just not with people from the internets. My most shameful event is post one night stand, going back to her house the next day after she don't return my call (was just down the street), and seeing her with her parents, and probably creeping her out. Thankfully I learn quickly lol.

It's clearly no Gear 3. That part where you(well, not you. It's a cinematic) string a line between to vehicles, jump at the same time, and behead a Brumak.

You just can't make that stuff up.

It's the stuff where legends are made. The sales figure vindicate that.

He got her number for meet up purposes. If a girl gives someone a number explicitly to flirt that's one thing. But maybe internet nerds don't get it.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but video game stories are all kinds of bad. Ass Creed's story at least is tolerable (if you ignore the Desmond/END OF TEH WORLD plot point). Then again, maybe I'm just blinded because it does alternate history in Rome/etc. etc. etc. for AC2 on and I didn't mind that/those bits.

Agreed.  I suppose the dude probably never had a girl who wasn't a relative act friendly towards him and he got the wrong idea.  I kind of feel for the guy but then again I kind of don't.
