Oh the entire "science vs cute" thing isn't why I think he's an idiot.
It's his entire attitude towards gaming in general.
He states things completely contradictory to his own actions.
For instance, he is SUPPOSEDLY a big 'indie games' advocate, yet he dropped all of his attempts at making indie games, and went to Spore, a multi-million dollar franchise which is owned by EA, who is the largest video game publisher.
Not only that, but he strayed away from 'indie games' again by not considering Spore to be an artistic achievement of both science and art, but put more emphasis on the mass-consumer market wanting to make the game cuter and whatever....
If he was TRULY for indie games, he would have wanted to see the opposite done with Spore.
Not only that, but he called the Wii a "piece of $@!&" and blah blah blah, which just made him look like a huge kid stuck on "GRAPHIC R WIN!111!!11!1" which basically sums up his entire idea of video games.
Basically, he's a jerk with an ego complex, who can't even stick by his own beliefs.
... I don't think people like that are too smart.
But anyways, we are de-railing the topic.

Sorry, SporeBuck.
