Games That Make You Cry

So, in the industry people are apparently trying to use, "games that make you cry" as a means of defining if video games can be considered an artform or not. Which always confuses me... as I've cried, plenty of times, because of video game stories.

Take Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Which I just passed last night on my flight out of D.C.

The last case ended with this sentimental moment of sisters reuniting, and some emotional statement of life, in general. That is, the past happens. Sometimes the past is really bad. But, really, you just have to forgive those things and people. This will then open you up to experiencing new joys.

Deep. Profound. Made me weep. (The dude sitting next to me, who couldn't stop trying to get in my pants, was probably weirded out. Not enough though because he'd always try to talk to me and ask me out on dates for when we're landed. FYI - I'm not a "pane talker". You Oregonians need to learn to just STFU!)

Although, maybe it's an American game developer problem. Japanese games, for some reason, have always moved me much more emotionally then American ones. Maybe I'm just old school. Maybe Japanese devs, "just get it". I dunno... . . .

Flying to NYC

I'm back from D.C. -- two hours late thanks to a "plane malfunction" and a 2 hour delay -- United Sux!.

Tonight, I'm flying out to NYC for some Gun Sepremacy training. I'm flying JetBlue. We'll see how that goes.

Gender Issues at the Ritz

So anyway...

I'm staying at the Ritz while at D.C. because that's how I roll. While there, I'm having issues connecting to the hotel network and so I call the Front Desk.

Front Desk (Woman): Good evening Mr. Djordjevich

Me: Good evening, I'm having issues connecting to the hotel network.

Front Desk: Oh! I'm sorry, I mean Mrs. Djordjevich

Me: ... Yes, well, I'm not being re-routed to your webpage to login and then proxy to the 'net.. . . .
