Fangirling? Maybe. Nonetheless, I'm right.

I know, I know, why aren't I working on all those past due sets I have? Well, I am. I took a quick break to check livejournal, and comments in this thread struck a nerve.

Why, may I ask, is a Silent Hill game on the Revolution such a horrible idea? How in the world is it any different than the PS3? The controller can be held like any normal controller - even if it looks different at times, you can assemble it to be that good old shape you're used to - so why would the game necessarily be any different control-wise? And even if they did controls differently, would that really be bad? I'm excited by the idea of holding an actual flashlight or gun in Silent Hill. That would be absolutely mind-blowing, if you ask me. It's not like the series was ever about conventions. Breaking out and doing something new and unexpected is what the title is based on. Why should they stop now?

Now, I'm not primarily a Nintendo fangirl, anyone can tell you this. I mean, I like Nintendo, but my favorite console is the PS. My digital camera is a Cybershot. The laptop I desire (besides a MacBook Pro) is a Vaio. Sony makes me squee on a pretty regular basis. Besides that, I gamed up first with Colecovision, fools, so I don't even have the "Nintendo iz mah r00Tz!!!11!11!" bias. I am, however, greatly offended by the idea that being on a Nintendo console would change the content of the game. The only games that involve Mario and the like are... prepare yourselves... Nintendo games! Ahh, oh no, logic! Why in the world would Mario appear in a Silent Hill game? It's not even made by Nintendo! Say it with me, folks: Konami makes Silent Hill. Konami is not Nintendo. Thus, Nintendo does not make Silent Hill. Got it?

Honestly, did the Gamecube Resident Evil games have "posters for old school mario games" or make you "beat off giant mushrooms with a frying pan as your melee weapon"? That's just ridiculous and uninformed. Stagnant little fools. Embrace innovation, you crazies, or stop playing Silent Hill. You can't do both. Besides, prejudice is wrong. Give Nintendo a chance. It's equivalent to someone saying, "Oh, you play Silent Hill. Isn't that all dark? You cut yourself, don't you? Oh, and I bet you wear really thick eyeliner and listen to bands that 'embrace your pain'. Gosh, you goths are all alike."

Stupid, yah? Stop being that.

... Fuckwads.

P.S. OH NOES, I'm angry on teh interwebs!!! Blame all the ranting on my frustration with school. Gorramit.
