"I never understood the strong reaction against Soulja Boy's Braid video. It seemed to me like he found the core mechanic wildly entertaining. He and his friends seemed to be having a ton of fun with the game. Were they giving off the impression that they cared about the game's story? No. Did they seem like they were going to finish the game? No. But did they seem thoroughly entertained? Yes. The guy was having fun. Seems like a victory for the game to me."

Anyway, people need to calm down. Last time I checked, he lives in the same world that we live in... The fact that you people who seem to be so offended by him liking games in the way he does actually makes this story recieve more press, not less...Just because when you make a video talking about what you think of videogames it only gets a few hits doesn't mean you can hate on someone who has the opportunity to speak to the masses and let everyone know what he is into... He's not forcing you to suscribe to his way of life, the way he thinks, the way he speaks, Hip-Hop culture, Black culture, Rich culture, and/or anything else that may scare or offend you, so why are you acting like it's a crime against humanity for him to like, own, and talk about games? And trust me, for those of you commenting on what you stereotypically feel is his lack of intelligence, I can guarantee you that there are just as many other people who would look at your daily contributions to life, music, or even this message board and say the same things about you.... But ofcourse you dont care because you aren't soulja boy right?... Right....... I'm just tired of seeing this story on every gaming website with such a negative spin... (to give credit where credit is due, MTV multiplayer blog posted their 2nd story about him with a more fair tone, unlike the first one, but atleast they learned)
Broaden your horizens people, the world is a big place, and it's not just filled with people who think, act, look, and feel the way you do... People fear what they do not understand...
