You're missing the point. If it was about "content" only, Stan could very much put it all on a crappy .txt file and there you'd go. Although you'd still say that you'd be happy enough, I don't believe that's the intention of the site -- being solely objective rather than being attractive, nice and clean as well, I suppose.

True, but the interview would still "look" good as just text on the site because of the font and colours and such. I think Stan is just being a cocktease with the interview and taking his time on purpose

Its stupidity because integral means its not only necessary but essential, so you have an oxymoron in that sentence, which i thought may have been a rather brilliant piece of wit, I was however wrong. As for the presentation it is important to keep the site looking professional so that we can encourage more users rather than look like a shoddy fan site.

And that's why I add pictures to this beautifuly, incredible piece of gold: www.smstributes.co.uk/view_article.asp?articleid=30Two aren't the best quality because they had to be enlarged from pictures that were quite small, but they give you a great bit of nostalgia and such to go with the flow of the interview. Hope you guys like it, more shiat to come in the future. And stop thy bickering! I see you're just taking out your blue ball interview aggression on each other and there's no need for it!

Yep, good questions btw Stan, out of interest did he give you any other names to talk to?

Not bad, not bad. Too bad you can't do follow ups to answers (perhaps because you could do so many of them he would get tired of answering them:P ), because I'd be curious to know how the relationship between Sega and Nintendo was adversial from an insiders point of view since everyone knows about the monopoly Nintendo had. The rest of you complaining about my lack of need for pictures for the interview, which, in the end, made no difference because they were only at the top and thus not seen while actually reading the interview, can kiss my blue balls

Ah, and, those old-school photos are top class.

He really was a 80's fashion victim, mullet haircut and awful jumper with triangles on it - for some reason triangles were popular in the eighties.

Thanks guys. I only followed up on questions I found most important and interesting. I think it's pretty obvious to everyone why the relationship between Nintendo and Sega was adversial.

I know WHY it was adversial, but I am curious as to how it was adversial from an insider's perspective. No matter though. There was some interesting stuff in that interview

Yeah, I see what you mean, I'll keep that in mind for my next interview, which is... ALREADY IN THE WORKS. Well, sort of. I think, based on what he said, he was pretty much saying his opinion of it. Sega was probably upset about issues such as the third-party deal and how Hudson Soft stole Wonder Boy, but at the same time it was probably like any other competing company talking to another in the same field. Friendly, but sometimes a bit fired up.
