Tis the season: for video games.

I think for the first time in history I can say that the I am honestly disgusted with both this season, and the videogamers.... let me elaborate. I want to start by saying that I am not a nintendo fanboy... they really lost me to other consoles during the past 10 years. Their inability to make a good system from the time when they retired to SNES until now really effected my view on their ability to upkeep and maintain a system even now. Xbox... I can't take seriously, There was just such a lack of vision as far as games went. EVERY game was either a war sim, and / or a sports game. As for the ps3... Im not really sold on it because of the obviously high price tag...Aside from that... where are the downsides? Look no further then digg.

Over the past few weeks I have been keeping an eye on Digg.com, I can honestly say that i have never seen people more insane, overzealous, and overbearing (to the point of sheer annoyance) then the Wii fanboys/girls. Every half respectable writer who can form coherent sentences becomes a net celeb by hitting the front page of digg by saying OMG I LOVE MY WII!.

Before I continue I think its only fair to say: I own a Wii, as well as a 360... both of which I'm not overly impressed with...but for the sake of arguement lets say i favor my Wii. (A sidenote, how tired am I of having Vg parties at my house, let alone being beaten at Wii bowling by my girlfriends grandmother?). My Issue with the Wii is not in the execution, nor is it with the graphics, or the sound.... thats all fine. No I honestly think its because I'm feeling a little too old: The Wii controller makes me feel retarded when im playing an FPS. I standing in front of my T.V. at 2 am twisting my body and shouting profanities about communism. The problem with the Wii is that it FORCES you to be excited about playing video games, theres no way to use their controller if your sick / tired without making your condition worse.

Video games are a past time of lazy, uninspired people... I just cannot see eye to eye with a system where i have to fight my friends, their friends, and my grandparents to play a game. Also lets take a look at the news behind the Wii.

The most recent news that I came across when I was compiling this article yesterday is just disturbing: What people are willing to do for a wii. This article details how a mother with 2 children offers to give 250$ and a blowjob to a man who posted his Wii for sale... she sent over pornographic images and convinced the man that she was legit. . .Allow me to use this time to segway into a flashback.... The year is somewhere in the mid 1990's and tickle me elmo isn't JUST a craze, its worth killing for. I saw a Tv show (some news thing or other....maybe 'Today'), Where they had a group of women crawling on their knees "rat race" style with a TME at the end. . . I thought of how far people are willing to go to impress and appease their children... but giving a blowjob to a man you don't know it just taking this a LITTLE too far.

Ps3 is Also getting a LOT of bad press, jump over to 'digg' and just type in ps3 and you'll see what i mean. However last night everyone was shocked and amazed when Gran Tourismo HD was released as a FREE addon. The system that has 'suffered' 'terrible' sales had its servers crashed due to excessive downloads of the said gran tourismo games managed to crash Sony servers... seems a little odd to me (Source: kotaku)

To wrap this up in a manner where I don't start rambling about the days of Secret of Mana, and or Secret of Evermore I will tie this post up by saying this. Its Xmas time again and we have fanboys foaming at the mouth yelling like neonatal children screaming "pwned" at everyone who decided to buy a PS3, or to side with the ps3. Yet they disregard future games for the Ps3 like FF13, FF13 versus, DMC 4, MGS 4, Assassins Creed and other games that look simply amazing. The moms of said fanboys are willing to suck off men they don't even know just so they can BUY a Wii.

Crazy day and age we live in.... isn't it?

Happy holidays, New post tomorrow, I'll be looking for a few hours away from my family.
