Until I saw Zach's name, I thought Mr. Diamond J was writing a self-help article.
Yes, yes, Spyke probably meant that playing the "Hitler card" was a bad way to support an argument. But Spyke specifically said "Hitler Defense" which is probably an incorrect application of Godwin's Law but, more importantly, funny in and of itself. That's what I was getting at.The Hitler defense is asinine and always the argument of last resort (usually when someone has nothing valid to use)I just saw this and it is my new favourite thing.
"The Hitler Defense! A Quinn-Martin Production
Tonight's Episode: Brown Shirts For White Knights".
LOL
I like how "The Hitler Defense" is supposedly "a thing". As if citing Hitler in defense of anything would ever work.

+1Actually, there IS a different between them. Not a huge one, but it's not a simple palette swap.Dude, the only difference is the palette swap of Tyson/Dream, and a slightly different intro screen (since Tyson is obviously not in the Mr Dream version). That's it. I've been religiously playing/speed running this game for past 25 years. You don't know what you're talking about.
I think there's a place for lighthearted teasing and hazing. I don't think there's a place for unrestrained insults and attacking ones intelligence.That's just stupid!
Different generations need different videogame icons to identify with. Right now for example kids all over Angry Birds and part of that is that that's THEIR game. It isn't their parents' game, it's for them. Every generation wants their own icons in all forms of entertainment.THis is a really insightful observation. I think you may be on to something here.
When I was a kid it was all about Mario. Not Space Invaders or Pac-Man, that was old stuff. Atari tried to take on the NES with Centipede and Pole Position and us kids all laughed at their dinosaur games (which is funny because those were like five years old at the time). Nintendo really pulled it off with Pokemon. A different generation grew up, not as Mario fanatics, but as Pokemon nuts. That was important because it was a new IP for a new generation that was their own.
I think ideally Nintendo should try to have at least one new IP a generation become a big hit with each generation of gamers. I think a big part of why the Gamecube got such a weak reaction was that Nintendo pushed it a lot on existing Nintendo franchises to a market that was adopting GTA and Halo and "their" videogame icons. The Wii bucked the trend by introducing Wii Sports/Fit/Etc. and having a new group of gamers (many of which were casual adult gamers) adopt it as their own.
You don't stay fashionable if you stick to the same stuff and in entertainment everyone is looking for the next big thing. Remember Nintendo isn't just trying to sell to the same people that ate up Mario and Zelda on the NES. They constantly want new customers so they have to come across as current.
