Thanks, duder

The Pogdust is real

I agree with Drew, the top player of Devil Dagger seems to have this homing cheat thing going on. Compare with Dan and Brad's run.

*edit: It might actually just be the approximation of the player's movement via the in-game replay feature, though.

For me, it was this analysis of MGS2 that got me into game criticism: http://junkerhq.net/MGS2/Analysis.html – in it, the author compares MGS2 to Ghost in the Shell, John Carpenter's "Escape From New York", Haruki Murakami's "Hardboiled Wonderland And The End Of The World", and Richard Dawkins' seminal "The Selfish Gene", among others, while offering up the same analysis as the one you quote from above.
