In the world that we all live in, it is a temptation to try and search for something profound in the things we see every day. We say "God is everywhere, I know that he is because I once saw a rock that looked like Elmer Fudd". I don't know if this sound logic, and I don't even know if you're telling the truth, but I do know one thing: I have no right to question the validly of your Fudd Rock because being the philosophical fellow that I am, I know that everyone sees the world in a different way. So, what appears to me to be nothing more than a rock holding a cartoon shotgun, may appear to you to be the spitting granite imagine of the Wabbit Hunter himself and bring you hours of wonder and whimsy, wheras I just walk on by. The point is, you'll never be able to see the world in the same way as somebody else, at least until I perfect my become-another-person-o'-matic (patent pending), so you might as well not worry about it.

For example, tonight at the Restaurant, a customer wrote "Obama for president" on the receipt where they wrote the tip amount. Some people might just discount this as simple self-promotion since the patron was Barak Obama (not true). However, I thought that was interesting in the same way you're probably thinking that I shouldn't be wasting your time telling you this crap. I do have a point here, more than a year ago, I believe it was sometime in June, my loyal readers asked me questions which than I took far too long to answer and my loyal readers found out that I was an unreliable jerk and decided to go be loyal to somebody who would actually answer their questions in a timely way. So now, formally loyal readers, more than a year later I will finish answering your questions. Perhaps it is the fact that many of these users probably aren't even on Gamespot anymore or just the simple fact that it took me more than a year to answer simple questions, but whatever it is, to me, this means something important, but I honestly have no idea what.

I can't see it either.

From Easteast: Can I make you something? (i.e: Sig, banner, avatar, blog header...)

A: This is yet another example of the overwhelming allegorical significance of this blog, a year ago, I could have just spent two seconds typing the words "no thanks", but more than a year later, that seems more than a little insufficient… well then, just call me "Mr. Insufficient" (If I had a girlfriend, I'm sure she'd call me that), because the answer to your question East, is no thanks.

From Wizardmon5: What game have you beaten more than any other game, and why? What draws you to that game over and over again? (Or, on the off-chance that you don't go back through games very often... Why not? If you play a game you enjoy, why not go back through it at some point?)

A: I replay games that have a real satisfying feel to them (it's hard to say no to a good old fashioned satisfying feel). Resident Evil 4, Freedom Fighters and Prince of Persia Sands of Time stick in my mind as games I've replayed once or twice because the controls just feel very natural and satisfying, same deal with ESPN NFL 2K5, Diablo 2 and Tony Hawk 2. Really though, I don't replay games that often, because I believe that I am one of the few gamers with a legitimate interest in nearly every genre, console and generation and as such it's very rare that I find a game that sounds more appealing to replay than to see what sort of thrills or lack of a first time play-through offers.

I am aware that this is a long blog post, so please take a monocle-themed intermission

From DaveGray: How do you see the pricing structure of "next-gen" playing out, keeping in mind things like microtransactions, budget titles, downloadable arcade games, episodic content, greatest hits releases, and the used game market?

A: This question seems to form an impossible trifecta (not used correctly) of being simultaneously boring, insightful and confusing. I honestly have no real idea what you're asking here. I can tell you that used games are cheaper than new games, but I bet that you knew that. I can also tell you this, there are a whole lot of companies out there trying to get your money however they can, if you pay for the products that you want to see more of and don't buy the one's you don't you will soon see more and more of the games you actually want. I'm sure you know that too, but it is good to remember and I'm mostly trying to skirt answering what you actually asked because you've hurt my brain.

From Taz412:What's the 1st game you can ever remember playing, and what's the 1st game you remember beating? What's the last game you've beaten, and what are you currently playing?

A: Once, I think I was in someday care in a mall or church or prison or something and there was a TV there with a super Nintendo attached to it. I played through about the first 15 minutes of Link to the Past (I'm guessing this took me about 3 hours at the time) and it totally blew my mind, I COULD CUT GRASS! I don't remember much else aside from some kind of daycare and it being awesome, I was on a lot of drugs at the time. I remember beating TMNT 4: Turtles in Time fairly early in my gaming career because that game is so easy even a blind one armed man could beat that game, he did, you can look it up (also untrue).

I just beat the first, right side up section of Castlevania SOTN for PS1, it was great. Right now I'm playing the inverted castle and am almost done with MGS4, but mainly I'm playing the "organize and move your thousands of video games into boxes so you can figure out what you have and bring them to college". It's a fairly thrilling game at first, but soon, the shallow gameplay wears a bit thin (6.5).

Finally, in what is arguably the most potent statement that I could make about the sort of roundabout triviality that we endure, I'm going to end with a question from Atillite.

Atillite: do you love the limits of our malcontent? at what points do the laws of physics break down? what is my cat's name? why am i cooler thn you? all will be answered in the next installment of wootex's blog

A: To me, true malcontent has no limits, nothing in the world is ever correct and thus, as real malcontents we must be constantly finding new ways to complain about it. The laws of physics break down at the intersection of 36th and Maple in Briar Ridge, Vermont. I brought my goldfish there, it turned into a Hamster (may or may not be true). You are cooler than my because we've been friends for like two years now and I still don't know how to say your username. I guess next turned into about 50 or 60 too late. Oh well.

THAT'S IT!!! I did it, I answered all of your piddling and inane queries and it only took me a year! Hooray. Now, here's to another year of answering questions (not true, don't ask me questions, direct all of your questions about life the universe and everything to Zelda450, he'd be delighted to answer them).

Time to celebrate as only the man of steel can.
