Why I don't review modern games

Yes, I know it's been a while, well to answer the question why, blame Skyrim and it's millions of mods.

R.I.P. Satoru Iwata

On July 11th CEO of Nintendo Satoru Iwata passed away at the age of 55. He was one of the greatest game creators who ever lived, he is one of the people responsible for the success of Nintendo and creating generations of gamers like me. I may have given him hard times in the past over the Wii U, but I never hated the man and admired him for what he did in his life, starting his career as a mere programmer at HAL laboratories working on such games as Kirby's Dreamland.
He ended up president of Nintendo and still worked on games leading the way for the Nintendo Gamecube and the Nintendo DS and while there was a fuck up with the 3DS' price, he took the cost upon himself cutting his own salary by 50% and not harming any of the employee's wages. Mr Iwata worked on so many games for Nintendo and his work made up a large percentage of my childhood,

Hell he's the guy that managed to get Kanto in Pokemon Gold and Silver which was no easy task and even created the battle engine for Pokemon Stadium in a week.

Satoru Iwata, you were a legend and will always be a legend among us gamers. Rest In Peace.
