Reply to comment by jeffythunders in Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow: Thoughts on Metal Gear Solid and The Illiad References by outsellers

A book dedicated to video games, and someone that campaigns on "video games are the best way to tell a story", should 100% steer away from calling Metal Gear Solid "boring."

Metal Gear Solid is one of the best representations of a real life example of the type of video game she was trying to create in these books. Its basically a movie and video game in one.

Her consistent need to promote political ideology, such as using the term "white boy" repeatedly, or, especially on guns, should be more consistent with her video game research. It's to be expected that she would hate on Football games, Halo, etc... but it would have been nice to deduce what her actual experience with the games were, aside from ... the Oregon Trail

Video games are like the worst medium to tell a story in, LMAO. What makes a game fun to play doesn't necessarily translate all that well to good writing.
