Anyone else seeing the resemblance with Death Note? I mean one of the characters is the spitting image of Kira and it was like all those soldiers had machines on their head replicating shinigami eyes.
@erMonezza @Raizak @Soldier235689 The likes don't bother me so much as the pure fact that he literally copy pasted my comment. Kind of flattering I guess that something I said was worth stealing.
What everyone needs to remember is that there is never anything "wrong" with you. We all have our pros and cons, but don't let yourself be categorized as someone with "problems". Every single one of us run into hurdles and it's part of life and makes us stronger for overcoming those obstacles. You all may have heard this kind of thing before, but it can't be said enough. As long as I live I will probably always experience some sort of depression, but I anticipate the moment I conquer it and walk away a better man. Because I know what it's like to be depressed I can enjoy the moments where I'm free of such negative thoughts.
Can't thank you enough for this video, Danny. With all the violence in the news there's all this negativity surrounding video games like they're to blame for it all. Not only does this shine a positive light on video games, but it has brought the GameSpot community together in a way I had never thought possible. It really helps to talk with people who can relate and understand your situation. Being sick and slightly depressed the past few days, this has really brought my spirits up.
Video games have been a vital part of keeping me out of depression. I think too much and without that escapism all that anxiety builds up. From junior high to high school I was around a lot of negative people that did nothing but put me down and treat me like I'm not good enough. Every day I looked forward to that moment where I could escape into my video games. When I was introduced to online games I actually met people who didn't just thrive off of putting me down. For once I could interact socially with people who cared and supported me more than most of the people I knew in real life.
Laugh if you will, but when I had found that special someone on a MMO my depression had just faded away completely. I could argue that I would not be the person I am today if not for her. Unfortunately our parents were not approving and she was ripped away from me, but it was a wake up call. I now live a wonderful life, more motivated to succeed than ever before. I'm an aspiring artist and writer going to college and one day maybe you all will come to know my future project, Devastate.
Wise words indeed Mr. Kojima. I myself have been working on the art of misleading the viewer in my writings and hope it fairs well when fleshed out. I think Spec Ops: The Line really pulled this method off really well. It's very risky, but I think it pays off if you know what you're doing.
Pretty awesome Gamespot is giving artists the spotlight like this. I'm delving into digital art myself and would love for my work to one day be featured here.
In the "Presence" section of this article, it should also mention villains that utilize trickery by concealing themselves as allies. *Spoiler*To name a few that I felt succeeded at this, I would have to say: The Origami Killer from Heavy Rain, and Adachi from Persona 4.
