To everyone who might get steamed over Kairi’s opinions – it’s okay! They’re harmless. I think her resentment for anything great that everyone but her likes, comes from the fact that she was born in the Hanson decade. She secretly loathes the entire universe for bringing her into being at the exact time when the devil started making music. XD

In reply to Adam.

I’ll look into it and retract that. It just seemed soulless, mostly because Earthworm Jim is a hugely overrated game.

Donkey Kong Country is soulless and I stand by that. It’s all graphics and no substance. Donkey Kong Country 2 was a vastly superior game, but still not all that.

Hello, I’ve been reading your blog for a while now, but never bothered to comment. When you starting posting about how you hate other games people played when they were younger it made me kind of sad, but when you explained you didn’t play games until, if I recall right, the Dreamcast/Playstation 1 era I can understand where you’re coming from. I know you enjoy getting into it over stupid things like this, but I really needed to point out one thing you said is just flat out wrong.

“its creators borrowed the DNA from such soulless, design-by-committee, me-too cash-ins as… Donkey Kong Country and Earthworm Jim.”

I don’t even enjoy Earthworm Jim but that’s really insulting to the man behind that game series Doug TenNepal. He’s the guy who did almost all, if not all, the art design and it’s FAR from a committee driven soulless cash-in. You can say the game isn’t very good, but to call that, and to a lesser extent DKC mostly from the excellent music (seriously, I doubt you’ve managed to get far enough into the sequel but it has one of the most beautiful soundtracks), soulless in that sense just really rubbed me the wrong way. Again, not trying to start an argument with you that just came across as really disrespectful to the creator of, at least, Earthworm Jim as he put a lot of his heart and soul into that game.
