The part where Virgil earnestly tries to talk someone into playing a video game that they in no way care about hit really close to home for me.

I appreciated that Zizek seemed to sincerely humor him. He doesn't seem like someone who humors very many people.

Virgil clearly takes pains to look like a smart-alecky dork with a ridiculous name. I imagine Zizek found that endearing, as we all do. (I imagine most people who interview Zizek are of the opposite school)

Zizek would respect the gameplay enhancements of Yakuza Kiwami over the original but find the overuse of the Majima everywhere system to be a detriment to the experience

That's Zizek being Zizek and its what I like about his books. Fink is a lot dryer but very much doing his best to explain coherently, a task I wish Lacan placed any value in. He doesn't have a lot of rhetorical flourish but you finish a chapter you have whole concept, up to you if you think its cracked or not.

I actually really appreciate his book on Deleuze for this same sort of thing. Like he somehow explains Deleuze somewhat coherently while also using it to illustrate diametrically opposite concepts than what D&G were after.

It's hilarious that he talked up MGS so much and then was complete dogshit at playing the game.

You can love something without being good at it

For instance I'm an awful singer but drat if that didn't stop me from singing Nowhere to Run by Martha and the Vandellas to myself on a stretch of road where I was reasonably sure I was alone and unmonitored while on a bike ride today. It was awful but I had a good time.

I'm pretty bad at video games but I'm at least good at the stuff I talk up the most. One of the funnier early Chapo reveals was that Felix played Fortnite.

Tbf to Felix, if the last MGS game you played was 5 where it’s pretty easy to do whatever you want, playing MGS1 would be pretty jarring. The controls were not all the way there.
