Well, I was obviously joking about not understanding people who don't find SMG fun, and I completely see your point, even if I don't agree with you.

Ha, detecting jokes over the internets is tricky business!

 

[KHarvey16]

No. It wasn't silliness. You can take the entire transcript and replace the words "Gamecube Controller with no buttons" with "DRM" and it works completely. It's not even transparent. It's really obvious. If you've watched the other videos, or even in this one, about the elephant, he goes on to explain the metaphors a bit more.

Replacing DRM with the controller was the silliness. It was a joke to say he was gonna talk about the big controversy everyone is discussing and then threw the controller out there. You can do a little silly bit and still make a point, which is exactly what he did!

Yeah, I really should keep that in mind. Sorry about that!

I can't really check right now, but I'm curious: is the buttonless controller really in the video?

Lol yeah, it actually is. Someone earlier mentioned seeing stress ball type things in the shape of a controller but the buttons may have been edited out somehow too.

Wow, that's incredibly strange! Maybe we really should have a 50-page thread about it!

 

[Interceptor]

Loved the Elephant. Great man.

 

[KimonoNoNo]

Hats off to Kyle for noticing the buttonless GC controller.

Here in the UK (don't know if it's the same in the States), if you watch the commercials you'll notice that any car shown that's not being advertised have all their badges removed.
So it must be trademark thing, but the question remains did they make a special buttonless controller?
Or is someone at MS so anal to have noticed it and have it shopped out?

I cracked up at the Nintendo Elephant skit.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Loved the Elephant. Great man.

Its by far the best way to sum up Nintendo.

 

[LeBoef]

seen him for the first time today. its the first internet show i didnt fast forward just to see the highlights. i like it and i agree on his thoughts about nintendo.

Watch all of them. They're genuinely all great episodes.

 

[Tuck]

as I said in my other post, there is something wrong about this episode (and for the sake of this show I hope it's not GT doing)

No offense, but the problem is with you, not him. The only thing different about this episode is the the subject matter centers around Nintendo, rather than Sony or Microsoft.

People are reading way into the Gamecube controller thing. It wasn't meant as a way to talk about DRM without talking about DRM to avoid getting in trouble with his boss. He just felt like doing that discussion in a clever, funny way. Not everything needs to be a conspiracy.

Can we get a photoshop of the pic where Iwata is holding a bunch of bananas, but replace his body with an elephants?

I dunno, he didn't talk about being anti-Third Reich, so I can only assume he is a closet Nazi.

 

[SJRB]

Gamecube controller = DRM went way over my head, I had no idea what the hell he was talking about until I came here.

Still, I really like this guy. I hope Keighley makes him part of the staff for E3.

 

[farisr]

Just got reminded of this:

Mays Gilliam did not attend this year's annual rally against cancer. Is Mays Gilliam for cancer or against cancer? Mays Gilliam, he's for cancer.

and yeah just watched the video. Starting LOLing at the buttonless gamecube controller stuff. He said he wanted to do a Nintendo-centric video. That was one way to do it. LOL.

After having seen this a couple times (showed it to friends), I think the GameCube controller bit at the end was brilliant. And it's in line with his style of being clever about things.

Kind of dissapointed that so many are being negative just because his opinion on Nimtendo.
