This is an archived link, don't go to the original.

Better yet, don't even bother reading it, it really says nothing, and it will be 2min of your life you will never get back.

Just wanted to make sure somebody pointed you to the archived link, so they didn't get the hits...

Eh, you were right it's not worth even two minutes it's just some guy pontificating over his memories of playing wing commander out of sequence?

Man, that Lucky Flunker guy seriously couldn't keep the article together for even two consecutive paragraphs.
This isn't even "Old man shouting at clouds," this is "Old man figuring out why clouds make him so mad or was it glad well anyways one time clouds."

The same Kotaku whose parent company lost a $100M lawsuit for invasion of privacy and then folded?

Didn't realize they were still around.

Dr Manhatten reference. Cute, unoriginal, and doesn't tell us anything.

These are the musings of some random dude, an op-ed piece if you will. Gaming Journalism at it's finest I suppose....true to form for Kotaku.

Well count me as *Swoosh*.

I thought this article was just a case of the editor being on holiday and this is how all of their journalism arrives before they wave the sensible stick at it.

Nah. He's copying the monologue style of Dr Manhatten in both the original Watchmen graphic novel, film, and TV series.

Dude's apparently a fan. He wrote a book about Cosplay with Silk Spectre on the book cover.

All good though...I'm not one to point out somebody else's interests. Glass houses and all that.

Anyway, this doesn't ignore the fact that he's pulling an Ernest Cline (Ready Player One). That is to say his article only makes sense if you're acquainted to the pop culture he's referring to. Otherwise it's just man child nerd gibberish.

All this just reinforces the notion that Kotaku is well....not very good.

I read 2000AD so am familiar with some of the works of Alan Moore, they are absolutely sublime. I haven't checked out his stuff outside of the British Comic though, however do know this - Moore has gone on record as saying he sets out to make his works in the Graphic Novel genre not to be able to be ported over and adapted to any other medium, due to the comic books unique way of conveying its content...

...I think this article very much proves that.

Well, he threw the first stone and furthermore got paid for doing so - think of it as sweet charity to lob one back Gratis ;-)

Ohh, so that's what it was. I can confirm that if you don't get the reference, he just comes off as senile.
