Auntie Pixelante Watch: Edition Never

Well well well, look who comes out in favor of intelligent game criticism. It's Anna Anthropy, the self-described "all-purpose pervert" who's responsible for Mighty Jill Off and Calamity Annie.

She's plugging some thing or other called jmac's Arcade, which is nice enough, but then she drops this bomb on us: "jmac’s arcade is insightful and personal, and completely unlike the majority of videos of older games on the internet, which are interested in those games only so far as they can be sacrificed for a few cheap laughs and five minutes of fame for the author."

Well someone just lost her spot as the featured game creatrix on Episode 1 of my upcoming web series, "BadTrent Expresses Exaggerated, Artlessly Profane Rage at Indie Games"! Listen, Auntie Pixelante - if that is your real pseudonym - I don't think you quite understand how hard it is out there for people who like to get mad at videogames. Your whole gimmick is that you're a genuinely insightful, intelligent person. Good for you. But NOT ALL OF US HAVE THAT LUXURY.
