Finger Gaming writes: "The anthropomorphic heroes, demons and Nazis that litter the world of musician Daniel Johnston's marker drawings seem like the perfect fodder for video games.
Touching upon ideas of alienation, capitalism, distorted 'Americana' and over-muscled dudes punching each other really, really hard, his artwork - swathed in the psycho-surrealism that's been prevalent since the early years of 8-bit Japanese development - is still rooted in the adolescent male fantasies that have populated gaming for years. The transition into interactive entertainment almost seems obvious.
Artist Peter Franco and developer Steve Broumley [flanking Johnston in the picture above] agreed. Friends and acquaintances (via Peter's wife, who works directly with Daniel and his family), the ex-Midway developers released Hi, How Are You?, a game featuring the art and music of Johnston, in late September."

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.
There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.
Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
