Stealth Birdmen and the Casual Fallacy (Nintendo’s succes?) http://x111.com/blog/comms007/2008/04/26/birdmen-and-the-casual-fallacy-nintendos-succes/ http://x111.com/blog/comms007/2008/04/26/birdmen-and-the-casual-fallacy-nintendos-succes/#comments Sat, 26 Apr 2008 02:13:49 +0000 CommS007 http://x111.com/blog/comms007/2008/04/26/birdmen-and-the-casual-fallacy-nintendos-succes/ Continue reading →]]> This is a very good and lengthy article by Sean Malstrom.
“Centuries ago, men attempted to fly … Birds fly. Birds have wings. Therefore, having wings should mean man will fly. … Had they examined the nature of flight, as opposed to the nature of birds, they would have realized the concept of lift (as Bernoulli did). …”
~ -Analogy of the birdmen to put on feathers rather than study flight was graciously taken from Professor Christensen of Innovator’s Dilemma fame who uses it to describe businesses trying to ride a disruptive wave but do not know it is disruption.
…
The fad was not in Nintendo’s strategy but in third parties (incorrect) interpretation of Nintendo’s strategy. Trying to escape their hardcore labyrinth, many are donning waxy casual wings to fly over the vast Blue Ocean. Those wings will melt and many millions will be lost as they plunge into the deep.
…

Actually I want to quote everything, so go READ~! Also, hehe at mythology and other references.

It got quite some good points and especially about mentalities and such. A few can be refuted or viewed/concluded differently, I guess.
Also it’s not about Nintendo’s plan/model and etc. only~

~in 1998 – While in Belgium, Bill Gates is assaulted by a Belgian man and hit in the face with a cream pie.

Other ponderingness, contemplationness~
Also: “Pain is the spice of life..”
And perhaps: “Power > All” => “Mo money = Mo power”

I leave you these positive thoughts for now (~°°)~

These aren’t too old, and I haven’t bought any of the “cool”/”popular” shooters yet =P Not so much in the mood for those, I guess. Shouldn’t spend too much money either and I don’t have that much free time anyway…

  • Neverwinter… Any class suggestions? =D Fighter, bard, red dragon and frenzied berserker => 4 multiclass madness?
    Can’t play much of it though… Used to play NWN much with Huntress. I guess I.. So uhmmm, I haven’t even done much of the first chapter, and the campaigns aren’t much for multiplayer, no?
  • I don’t have the expansion for Titan Quest… Should maybe even finish it first…
    Anyone ever tried multiplayering this from normal and then maybe some day to epic levels? Epic is really hard, so I heard…
    But too many items, not having found everything, sets and things annoy me a bit.
  • Civ IV… On this thing I can only play on “small” worlds quite decently and even that takes 4 days of constant playing to get till the end of all turns, when a limit of turns is on and assuming one haven’t achieved any victories yet.
    Anyone ever multiplayed this?

And you know my back-up was way too big to import back to the CommS007 blog o_o… One’s file must not be bigger than 300 kb…

Yay, for recovery-ma-jigs~
