In Response To: Re: RPS Marathon (Lion O Cyborg)
: The other problem
: I take them seriously; it helps add some context to the game's in question
: and they can be plausible if they have enough evidence to support them
: e.g. Mario being sociopathic or Bioshock Infinite Columbia's construction
: being possible due to quantum levitation technology (though bloody
: expensive) but not possible to live in due to reaching its altitude too
: quick and motion sickness from looking at the clouds, (not to mention
: fog).
These kinds of conclusions demand Death of the Author to apply at its worst. Do you actually believe Miyamoto wanted the Mario games to be about enacting sociopathic desires?
