I did start to wonder if it that article was itself a parody – surely no-one could be that much of a self-absorbed, self important fuckwit.

Similarly to thomasw, I could only get through about a third of it, but I did enjoy this bit: -

“Have you seen “The Sopranos”? (If not, see it. It’s the greatest work of Western art of the 21st century, so far.)”

Gosh, and he’s looking for a “2D artist or programmer” who’s willing to work for nothing on an indie game with him (read: listen to his endless rants and crank out some kind of terrible “ironic” Dragon Quest clone). Where do I sign up?

The sad part about his writing isn’t that it’s terrible. The Internet’s full of terrible writing. It’s that it wasn’t very good five years ago, and yet somehow it’s only gotten worse. One would have thought that during the intervening time, he would have learned something about editing, structure, or taste. Yet somehow, this hasn’t happened.

Gah. Hurrgh. I somehow missed your earlier parody. Now I wish I hadn’t read this, either.

I tried reading that thing, but only got a third of the way through. Yeah, he’s an asshat and I doubt his speculation on ramen shops or whatever else has any depth.

It’s funny how many comments are about how long the article is. Some complain about how full of shit he is.
