"Will Wheaton: Anonymous trolls are destroying online gaming."- A rebuttal.

On November 11 of 2014, actor Will Wheaton, whom you might know as the voice of Aqualad from the 2002-2006 Teen Titans cartoon and as a recurring self parody on the Big Bang Theory, has recently written an article on the Washington Post, titled "Anonymous Trolls are destroying online gaming. Here's how to stop them." As I am a firm believer in freedom of speech, the respectful exchange of ideas, and the individual freedom to believe what we wish, I offer my own rebuttal to his work. His original words will be left uncensored (save for one video that I shall not link, I'll explain why below) and will be written in bold, while my words will be written beneath his, unboldened. As the purpose of this entry is to educate and criticize, it is protected by Copyright law. His original work can be found here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2014/11/11/anonymous-trolls-are-destroying-online-games-heres-how-to-stop-them/?tid=sm_fb

Suikoden 2.5

I'm a huge fan of Suikoden. I'm a proud member of the Suikoden Revival Movement, have signed up for both Suikoden Day 2013 and 2014 (didn't participate because of time constraints, however), and have played Suikoden 1, 2, 3, 4, and Tactics. I've yet to play 5 because I have no money, but it's on my bucket list. Anyway, there is a certain, fan made Suikoden game that I've been keeping my eye on for a while now, and I think every Suikoden fan owes it to themselves to do the same. The game is called Suikoden 2.5.
