"Good to hear Andrew. Can't believe someone would add something like that to your article! Hope they sort it out for you quickly."

"Uh...You do realise you just advocated beating women? You know that line you shouldn't cross?

Look behind you."

On Winson Shuen's In Defense of the 3DS

"I haven't got my 3DS yet (Waiting for Student Loan to come through...I get it a week on Thursday - and I CAN'T WAIT) but not for lack of want as the bracketed text above demonstrates. I've been reading a lot of the critical and fan responses and...I want to thank you. For through all the responses I've read, every criticism I've seen levelled at the 3DS in anything more than a "things to consider" tone (By which I mean, someone is complaining) has elicited little more than an "Uh, and...So what?" from me.

I wasn't sure if it was my nascent 3DS Fanboyism (I've been looking forward to this thing since they pre-announced it, and I was so hyped to see the E3 unveil I was AMAZED when it didn't disappoint me) or if other people felt the thing was getting a bum rap. Now I know it's probably both (I'm realistic) thanks to you.

I got a chance to try out a 3DS a couple weeks back at my Student Union (nintendo brought a bunch of them to demonstate) and...Yeah, this thing is awesome. Played some PilotWings Resort and Super Street Fighter IV 3D. Street Fighter's not really my cup of tea, but it LOOKED awesome and I ahd more fun playing it than I've had with Street Fighter since Alpha 3 on PlayStation.

PilotWings Resort meanwhile...I can't wait to own that damn game. It was beautiful and the controls...My god the wonderful wonderful controls. That Circle Pad...:D

I should stop...I'm gushing. Anyway, big PlusOne for the defense duder :)"

On William Harrison's Nintendo Wii and the great platforming revival

"I was thinking exactly this whilst playing through Disney Epic Mickey (Incidentally, my Game Of The Year - I'm a Disney geek and I love Mickey Mouse, so sue me). It struck me that outside of Mario, I hadn't had this much fun in a game i would describe as a "platformer" in almost a decade - stretching back to the first PS2 Crash bandicoot game. Even Ratchet & Clank and Jak & Daxter, whilst superficially "Platformers" I found, respectively, to be more like a third person shooter and an adventure game respectively."
