So Nintendo just fired Chris Pragner for his unauthorized appearance on a podcast where he made some remarks on their localization process, specifically about Xenoblade Chronicles not having a big enough market to justify its localization, or StarFox Zero being voiced by Treehouse employees to save money. What the **** Nintendo? Sure, he made a couple of remarks he maybe shouldn't have, but to completely take away his livelihood because of it? Look at what he said in his Facebook post:
"Hello friends and family. As many of you have probably seen, I am no longer at Nintendo. I was terminated this week due to a podcast appearance I made last Monday. It was a stupid judgment call on my part and ultimately it cost me far more than I could have imagined.

I've lost the only job I really knew or ever intended to know. Since leaving high school, I've had a singular goal in terms of a career. It got me through college and pushed me through the difficult time immediately after college where I learned just how crippling it was to have an English degree in the job market. I applied for 6 years straight for my job. Even before that, I'd made my entire identity around my hope to one day have this perfect job. I was mocked here and there as "Nintendo Boy" from maybe middle school on, but I thought that if I succeeded, it'd all be worth it.

And now it's gone and I honestly don't know how to handle myself. A central part of my personality revolves around Nintendo. Anything that I've decorated with around my house has a very clear Nintendo theme. My shirts and jackets overwhelmingly show that as well. Being able to finally feel at home at a job is a feeling I can't easily quantify. I was the guy who'd see a hastily-discarded paper towel in the men's room and pick it up, saying to myself, "This is my home, and I will keep it clean."

If we're being honest, I'm scared. Very scared. I haven't been without a job for over 4 years, and even then it was during the weird "just exiting college" part of life that everyone goes through. And back then, I was still down in Oregon near family. Living in Washington has struggled to feel normal, but I was grounded in my job. It was where I happily spent my time and saw all of my friends. With that unstuck, Washington suddenly feels alien and empty all over again.

I look around my house and see images of my son and feel such intense shame and crippling sadness. How do I share this part of my life with him? How do I cope knowing that I've failed him? Even before this I'd been struggling to want to provide better for him and my wife, knowing that due to my student loans, I wouldn't be entirely debt-free until I turned 40. That's not a hyperbole either. I'm just now barely under $100,000 in student debt and my last payment is scheduled for the same year that I turn 40. "That student debt is intimidating, but it's worth it for the end result." I've undone my end result.

I spent the last week in a miserable place once the podcast began getting coverage. I was instantly scared when a coworker poked me and said, "Hey, you're on GoNintendo." Suddenly article after article began appearing in game sites of all languages. Comments sections painted me as an idiot and the like. My Twitter started giving me hourly reminders from people meaning well and otherwise. It seemed unthinkable that I'd be let go for a single moment of poor judgment and my own misunderstandings, but here we are.

Obviously, as I'm writing this at 4 am, I don't think I have a clear goal. All I can think of is that there's so much I've put at risk. I know that if I can't find a job at least as good as this one, I won't be able to provide for my family. I've lost them their health coverage and their security. I also know that I've probably lost a good deal of my friends, just because I know how hard it can be to stay in touch with someone when the convenience of proximity is lost.

I'm so sorry to everyone. I've failed you. You believed in me and supported me and trusted me and I've failed you. I've failed me."
What is wrong with you Nintendo? You made this man lose everything. Now, he is probably depressed and hopeless. Have some humanity you idiots. He made a mistake, you should have forgiven him and gave him another chance. Now, your image will be even more negative because you just show how inhumane you are.


Sorry, I just had to get that out of my system.
Nintendo's a business. They were clearly in the right in this case. He leaked confidential information, which is a breach of contract. He knew that going in.

I mean, yeah I kinda feel bad for him, but it's his own fault. Frankly if Nintendo didn't fire him it'd be arguably worse, as it'd set a precedent for employees to leak information freely. From a business standpoint they absolutely did the right thing.

Chris Pragner got fired? Did something he shouldn't have done?
Life sucks. You don't follow the rules, you get punished. No ifs, ands, or buts. That's all I have to say to that fired guy. I feel really sorry for him, but if someone calls a justified punishment unjustified, that's just being emotional. It stinks because he's actually done some good stuff in the past. Oh well.
Cold hard truth.

....how exactly did Google Images become the subject?
It's just people acting like getting fetish/porn content on Google Image searches is suddenly a new thing. :p


That being said let's steer clear from this discussion.

I'm immune against those stuff. Only when it's furry or children I feel disgusted.
I just completely ignore any and all r34.
I acknowledge that people make the stuff and it's fine (in that it's not illegal) and I just find the images I'm looking for and go on about my business.

Agreed.

That aside then, has anyone seen this?


It's a Disney Junior show, but heck, I'm a die-hard Lion King fan. So at the very least, I'm happy they're giving the franchise something new.

It's good. The sprite itself is pretty small, though, so it would be hard to do that. I'd like bigger sprites, though.
well, i was working on recoloring some young link images.
but then i needed a break because thats annoying stuff sometimes >->
Agreed.

OK :4ness:

Say Opposum, do you think the Golden/White Tanooki Suit is able enough to defeat Sonic?
N-Not like I'm trying to do something about that. :4mario: I'M-A INNOCENT!

Naruto sucks.
Wait I said that eons ago.
The only character I actually liked in Naruto was Kakashi. Dunno if that's just me. Oh, and I also watched the dub, which was solid. If I wanted to read, I'd buy a graphic novel.

I actually don't. I just like to pretend it's a big deal and all that.

I don't think so, you have to take into account Sonic's power ups and abilities. Golden/White Tanooki suit is not immune to lava while Sonic has power ups that allows him to be immune to lava.
