The Power of Your Purchases

You might be hearing rumblings of the famous Hideo Kojima being out at Konami after Metal Gear Solid 5. This is a huge surprise for a lot of people, as Metal Gear has generally been one of the more successful game series out there. The idea that this might literally be the last game in the series is hard to imagine. However, the series has not sold as well as you might think, and there are a number of reasons Kojima may have turned off his core audience stateside and frankly, he’s not the only one who has.

Nothing to blame but the individual responsible

This weekend I was going to write about Blue Ocean Marketing and how the GOP, instead of freaking out about how we need to move left to attract people who never vote for us could instead use Blue Ocean Marketing to achieve an outreach to an entire market of new voters. Nevertheless three shootings occurred which changed the nature of my blog this weekend. I know a lot of folks are in shock and mourning, my heart goes out to the victims, but I am concerned because there’s already talk from the Ruling Class about gun control, petitions on whitehouse.gov demanding our rights to bear arms be infringed to stop crimes like this, but there’s a problem. Connecticut and Oregon are both states which are deep blue, and both have tight gun regulations already and both have to cede the point that their tight gun regulations did nothing to stop these shootings.
