It's kind of awesome seeing someone who had high goals make them!

There are a couple westerners working in Japanese game companies, another being James Turner at Game Freak. It's rare, but possible!

I appreciate him coding the moose to run in circles. Makes farming gourmet meat much simpler. 12/10

Back in Corey's day memes were called "image macros" and only nerds used the internet on their phones.
BlueIceDragon
Shit like this is what we really need. Something to remind us that anything really is possible if you really try your best.
meskarune
People can try their best and still fail horribly. if you don't try at all though, you are more likely to fail.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

... I.. Uh.. I don't know about you all, but I would not want him teaching English to my kids. "puts a poison.. What?
forreallyandfortrue
Japan English Teachers hires you once you get a bachelor's degree; since 2007 he could have graduated, taught in Japan & worked @ Nintendo.
armeggedonCounselor
It's probably a regional thing, but it should be obvious what it means from context.
malaroo
... I.. Uh.. hope you don't have kids if you can't put that one together.

PlesiosaurWithElementsOfAnIdeaOfTheLochNessMonsterBoy
I only have 2 problems with the game, one is durabilty is too low on almost all items, second is that shield surf takes durability.
dj505
Agreed. Shield surfing is so freaking fun. I used most of my Korok seeds on shield slots so I could carry more haha
PlesiosaurWithElementsOfAnIdeaOfTheLochNessMonsterBoy
Exactly they gave us a fun as fuck way to get around, then punished you for doing it. It kinda sucks.
krapmyself
Hey I wanna be a game designer! Cool, you're hired! Sweet, what do you want me to do? Programming. https://youtu.be/LukyMYp2noo
sadejester
you do have to have an actual skill to get a job. in games, it's usually either art or programming.
HolyCringeLordBatman
I mean, anyone that seriously wants to go into game development has to know that "Idea guy" or "Designer" isn't a role.
HolyCringeLordBatman
You're either implementing or providing art assets of some kind
stouf761
The name still doesn't stick out as much as Speed Weed, a writer for Arrow
RoovyRoo
What kind of world was the '07 internet where you could use your full name as a user name
VonOhlnhausen
The same as today, but with less special snowflakes.

ahem.

Mine was on here up until 2015 I think. Same account so if you try hard enough you might be able to track it down.
BardicLasher
Is your name not actually Roovy Roo?

You mean like all the sites that use Facebook comments sections now?
JeremyGabbard
Eh, so many of my social media sites tie back to Facebook anyway. I just keep this account pretty clean.

THe same as it is now. I dont know what these people are on about being safe in 07. There was still some bad shit out there.
RaZorwiresc2
Isn't that what people are doing now all the time on Twitter, Facebook and other social media?
BiffBrain
Lol made my first PlayStation account in 07 and my psn ID is literally my first and last names.
blainetog
It was not very common. Mostly it was shit like "killzator003405" or "SpongeBobFan576."
spiderqueendemon
Some of us still have usernames from that period of time.
NameNotVerified
My name hasn't even been... y'know what. I'll leave it out.

It was the kind of times we'll tell our grandkids about. Memes were fresh but not dank, viral videos didn't have pleas for likes and subs.
CyberCunt
Online gaming was way less salty.
Threns
"I tell ya, I don't like these new memes, they just knock you on your ass. Give me an orly owl, I'll have a chuckle."
somekindafuckingidiot
memes used to be called image macros back then
Threns
Only when we were having pretentious conversations about them in relation to culture, that would be uncouth otherwise
Corridoor
in all fairness it's like points on imgur, I think the onus is on the website to put less value on it
