Whipped up a cheesy demo for the occassion.

Had I spent more time, I would've included an Easter egg (comical reaction to shooting the Duck Hunt dog). |

Wow, it doesn't seem like that long ago that we were discussing the Famicom's 20th birthday on Sardius' old board. |

Fuck Parish and his followers. The guy is an asshole and his board is populated by pod-people who hate individual thought. |

I avoid the board and the comments section, but I generally like his writing, and hell, he's one of the few people writing about retrogaming on 1up/related mags, so I'll give him that. |

Parish can be annoying because he a) plays the self-hating geek far too often, and b) vents his pet grudges through his job (he is, after all, the man who created an entire 1up feature just so he could tell us that he hated Xenosaga). The latter of these habits wouldn't be annoying at all if Parish didn't react to criticism by going OH LOOK AT THESE CRAZY INTERNET PEOPLE WHY DO THEY HATE ME ALL I DID WAS CALL THEM BRAINLESS TWITS FOR LIKING A GAME I GUESS THEY'RE JUST CRAZY INTERNET NERDY NERDS NOT ME THOUGH.
That aside, Parish is a stand-up gentleman in my book.
EDIT: Boy, was I a.jerk seventeen years ago. Parish is cool. And so is Xenosaga except for that one part.

I like that Parish hates it more than any game could reasonably deserve. Why, look at how angry he gets at the mere thought of the series having a popular news story!

Well, perma-banning people from his board for expressing a genuine opinion that he disagrees with is pretty dickheaded of him. |

And I would never, ever ban you from any board of mine for expressing it in a calm, conversational manner.
Groupthink makes for lousy discussions. |

"Calm"? "Conversational"? You silly man. You were the one who went on the offensive because no one acknowledged your posts as the One True Opinion About Video Games. But please don't pollute these nice people's boards with your inanity. You can take up your beefs re: diabolical fascism directly with me.
I am pleased the rest of you have enjoyed these anniversary posts! I wrote up another one today. It is laden with hearsay and "original research," which is why these are going up as blogs and not as an actual feature. |

Hi Jeremy Parish! It's nice to see you here. I'm back in the bay area, so you should invite me to be on your awesome podcast again. |

Hey, that's racist! I'm a crazy internet person. We prefer "Eccentric Browser," though. Buncha jerks.

Wow, someone has a problem with memory.
I was called a troll for expressing opinions that Parrish and his pod-people disagreed with, insulted for no good reason by several users, then perma-banned for saying that Bionic Commando for NES was a decent game with interesting ideas, but not a true classic due to its rough edges.
If you are still reading this Parrish, I tried to contact the admins about the ban, only to find I was IP banned, making it impossible to access the site.
Of course, if you and your cronies were dicks enough to ban me the first time, why would I want to go back? The groupthink and "Disagreement is heresy!" attitude of Talking Time is worse than Slashdot. |
