Click. (http://xbox.ign.com/news/33361.html)
Not sure if this has been posted already, though I did take a look around prior to posting it and saw no topic in regards.
I agree with this very much so.
-
It\'s a good article. If people would stop the bashing, I could stop being defensive.
-
Amen to that brother.
This madness needs to stop
-
Hmm in the poll I would like to vote DC PS2 and GC but not XBOX.:D
Am i a fanboy?
-
That article was cool. I totally agree with it also. I think the fanboys should read this article. It basically describes why your so bias and pathetic and why you should shut the **** up and enjoy all consoles. ;)

Enjoying all consoles is a waste of money and life. If your playing 4 consoles and playing the best games on all 4 consoles I consider you devoid of a meanigful life
No way you can do that and actually participate in other factions of life.
ALthough I agree on the stupidity of the console war, its human nature, we see it PC vs: Mac, Fords vs: Chevy vs: Dodge, American Football vs: Soccer Football vs: Rugby
it goes on and on, but the console war is started by those who hate, most of us just defend our choice system from the crap spewage of Zealous hating fanlads
there are exceptions on this forum as well of course they\'re everywhere, but we don\'t hesitate to set the record straight when necessary
-
I just read it, makes good sense. Everyone in the world is biased towards something, if even a tiny-little-bit. It\'s human nature perhaps? Anyway the point is just what they said.. enjoy the games, cause the companies don\'t give a rats ass about anything \'cept for your money.
The emails ppl sent and the responses Brandon gave them were quite amusing.
btw, wuz up wit da l33t t0pic biznatch?

You must have low standards on what qualifies as the \'best\' games. I find the time, and I do have a life (despite what some think).

What the **** do you mean Eslugg
Low standards for best games, all consoles have a slew of cool games and since I work 40 + hours a week like a normal person, I have a wife, a couple of aquariums, cat dog, I like to Bike ride, party and get out of the house. Not to mention basic lawn and house maitnenaavnce no way in hell I could possible enjoy 4 consoles
and I stand by what I say, if you buy all 4 consoles you are wasting yor money and your life. Anyone who argues with me is being upset with the truth. No human can possibly play all the great/fun games on all systems and do all the things I mentioned above.
Also your opinion of good and great games are meaningless to me, cause I think you opinions of what a game shoule be are anal, Your to friggin picky, you\'ve forgotten to just have fun, everything you do is full of scrutiny. And thats fine, but while your *****ing and whining about the most rediculous stuff I\'m just having fun

Well ddumbsh1t, are you saying that anyone who doesnt doo all that stuff isnt living a productive life? Einstein must have done nothing productive then....
I can do exactly that, and I\'m mad not at the truth, but your stupid ass.
Your opinion of good games don\'t interest me... pffft, you wasted your time with RoR ... ****ing nerd.

LMAO :laughing:
This game sucks boo hoo, Its no fun, you don\'t know what your talking about.
I know when I\'m having a good time, and I sure as hell could give a giants rats ass for your continous BS spewage.
You gotta girlfriend son, ever take her out, You got a nice car son, you work 40 hours a week son, you have any other friggin hobbies besides sitting in front of a TV and playing game after game after game.
DO you own a house or do you still live with mommy and daddy little boy
Your a whiner, you complain about so much its gets on my nerves, stop being such a pessimist and just try having fun, all you really do is look hard for imperfections in everything. Then instead of having the decency to keep your trap shut about what you don\'t like you feel you have to jump in on every thread and make sure everyone knows what ESlugg doesn\'t like abotu a game.
There\'s alot of games I don\'t care for but I don\'t go busting up other peoples enjoyment and threads just to pound my own chest and tell someone else they are stupid/naive for liking anything. You on the other hand seem to always find somethign negative to stick inot threads

I own a house, cottage, and 2 cars, thank you very much for your assumptions ddumbsh1t. Only the lower \'middle-class\' morons with no education need to bust their humps 40 hrs a week. I have a fine job, and earn plenty of money, and no, I don\'t have a girlfriend atm, because for one thing, I travel too much.
I\'ll be as goddamn pessimistic as I want. If everyone only posted good things, more morons would buy **** like ZOE. If you want the forums to be fair and balanced, you have to allow critisizm along with the praise.
-
Damn Ethugg,why so angry all the time?
Calling ddaryl middle class and other names is just...well not nice.
Critisizm is good,I like to know the good and bad things about a game/console,but why so angry all the time?
Relax a little and enjoy the forums,it\'s alot nicer when people like you :)
-
RELAX????? I....*the giant vain on my forehead finally popped*

We like to go at it once in a while, as long as he or me doesn\'t go overboard or even take this into a daily feud will both get over it and move on.
I guess we both have a passion for our hobbies but different opinions baout how we go about it.
I also appreciate Ethugg\'s ability to bring everything back down to earth instead of allowing us both to carry on with a pretty pointless opionated debate, even if its the debate section
We\'re still pals

Lower middle class, thats funny,
Well at least I\'m not and upper class arrogant snot, or spoiled rich kid. Kinda funny you don\'t act like someone who is an Adult, peculiar
If you travel as much as you say you do then you obviously don\'t have time for 4 consoles, or you obviously have money to burn and could care less if you got value out of all 4 systems, which backs up my point even more since the reality of most is the fact they don\'t have the time or available extra cash to buy 4 platforms and balance lifes necessities and the more important things in life.
Myself I barely play videogames on weekends, WHY, cause my wife works 1st shift I work 2nd so I cherish our time together. Not to mention the other **** I like to do in my life beyond the TV screen.
Yes you can be pessimitic, but you are overly pessimistic on alot of stuff, and some threads really don\'t require you pessimistic atitudes.
Just out of curiosity, you say you travel too much to have a girlfriend, I was wondering if it was because you might be ugly.
Like I said just curious

I\'m not a snob... when I\'m in my hometown I do a lot of charity work, In fact, some of my travelling is charity related (I was a member of Green Peace too for a couple of years). I have a abused woman who needed to leave her husband living in my house, because she\'s also pregnant. I also lived in the inner city for most of my childhood.
I find time to play every system, and any game that holds my interest.
I like being pessimistic, how overtly pessimistic I am is debatable.
I don\'t think I\'m ugly... but what do I know...

I can relate to what you are saying. I now work Fri - Sundays, taking drivers training, and
I am getting in Shape for Football season next year. Not to mention school work, its just
to much and videogames needs to be cut down. I barely have enough time to play my ps2.
Most of the time I would rather just go outside with my peeps.

LOL!
I just wanna add something to this intelligent argument that\'s currently taking place between Ethugg and ddaryl...
Ethugg...what a dumb name!!! He owns a house and cottage and yet he calls himself a thugg! Too funny! I can see it right now...
He\'s driving along in his fancy car with all this getto style clothing on and drives by people saying **** like " what up homie"...and yet he\'s truly a geek! I bet he gets ripped by real thugs all the time. LOL! Oh you are totally unware of thug life...hilarious! :laughing:
I like making fun of people. :D
-
and whats your idea of lower middle class
My wife and I make a little over $80,000 a year
I however have child support payments, Student Loan payments, Car payments, Mortgage, Utilities, home improvement bills, and about $2000 a year in Plane tickets to bring my step-son out to visit us in Washington
This doesn\'t include hobbie stuff, retirement invensting, and savings.
I believe my situation is on par with normal everyday middleclass persons. I would not have enough time to enjoy or get value out of 4 systems, and I am still debating if its worth it for me to get a 2nd or just upgrade my PC.
Obvioulsy you have alot more free cash then the next guy, but even so I feel there is so much more to life then playing 4 consoles worth of video games and PC games as well. I love the hobby, but IMO a line needs to be draws and sacrafices made to obtain a godd balance of mind sucking video entertainment and just good ole quality time

Great articule we need more videogame fans not fanboyys. ddaryl my man having four consoles if you would concider the possibilities makes for better gaming. Since 88% of all games on each console might not appeal to hardcore gamers leaving 12% of the games on each worthy of purchase and realizing the cost of a console in the case of PS2 equals 5 games or so if you bought them new. In other words the purchase of games far exceeds the price of a console in the long run. And not everything(game) is avaliable for rent. To explain, why would I own one console and be desparate buying games I will not enjoy just to play something when only 12% to 20% of those games really appeal to me. Whereas if I had three platforms and took the best of those and not waste my money buying games just to have somthing to play my gaming experience would be enhanced. I see it everyday people owning one console wishing or waiting to play games on another platform(many wish they had a high end PC) buying games they wont really like just to play somthing. Right now many desparate PS2 fans wander through the store willing to try any new pS2 game that comes in and many of those games they do not like but they need something to feed this new black box... This also was DC fans when the machine first came out and I would suspect that X-box and NGC fans will go through this. This leaves many gamers missing out on some great gaming because of thier bias or pocketbook. What I am saying is this ,once you have the platforms your gaming tastes will rise and only the best of the best will appeal to you thus saving money and only playing the games that rate the highest with the limited gaming time you have. I hope that made some kind of sense please excuse my rambling.:D

No way you can do that and actually participate in other factions of life.
Enjoying all may not be a bad thing, if it means you\'re going to friend\'s houses and trying out their games on the consoles you don\'t have. It doesn\'t neccessarily mean you actually purchase all four of them.
Similarly, you don\'t have to buy every console to give them a chance, to learn more about them than simply writing them off as horrible without thinking "gee, maybe this could be good."
I know you guys can\'t afford every system or every game that hits the market.
That\'s an excerpt from the article; it wasn\'t telling you to purchase every console. It was merely asking that you give them all a chance.
I would like to buy every console, but it\'s simply too expensive. I could do this, but I don\'t play them enough to make it worth the money spent. I spend more time discussing consoles and visiting/moderating message boards about them than I do playing them.
I\'ll probably do like I did with PSX with both Xbox and Gamecube--wait until they\'ve been out for a while and are incredibly inexpensive to buy them.
But I\'m not simply telling them all off, saying I\'ll never buy one because it sucks. I may never buy one because I don\'t have the money, but none of them are bad.
The emails ppl sent and the responses Brandon gave them were quite amusing.
The absolute most hilarious of these emails would have to be this one:
"Nintendo followers out there I give you my blessing and I urge you to worry not, because Nintendo\'s Gamecube is going to bring back the golden age of Nintendo dominance that was present during the NES and SNES days. May the Triforce be with you all."
- Belong to any other cults?
He sounds like a bloody missionary.
btw, wuz up wit da l33t t0pic biznatch?

And the conversation ddaryl and Thugg are having: That is so lame on Thugg\'s side. I don\'t really want to get into it, though.
-
Welp Jiggs by Xmas this year I will have no trouble finding many very worthy PS2 games and I already have played a few to date
I still stand by my opinion, no one has adequate time to play all the great and fun games on all 4 consoles.
Sure you argument has its points, but I don\'t play that many games cause I don\'t have the time so I can easily keep myself entertained with 2 consoles. and when I do have time in betwen games and so far since Feburary there has been little time for me between games I have alot of other stuff to do so having 2 more consoles would be of no use

Ok \'Jumpman\', you suave mutha****a... lol. EThugg\'s a fine name... I don\'t see how a thug can\'t own property.
I don\'t recall saying either of my cars were \'fancy\', saying \'what up homie\', or being a geek. Where\'d you get all that from? You wouldn\'t know a real thug if one unloaded a full clip in your ***** ass.
I like making fun of ppl too. :D
And the same applies for CelliCel and M4 too.

ddaryl, while I stand by ppl being able to have a life and play/own 4 consoles, I was trippin with some **** I said. If I really offended you, I\'m sorry.

this is funked up
I replied to this post then I replied to Metal Deaths post but it over wrote my reply to this one ahead of Metal Deaths posts
Ethugg No harm, just got myself aggravated with our debate, thats what happens
owning 4 consoles is ones perogative, I personnally don\'t have or see the need. I will probably get 2 consoles the 2nd being an Xbox, I really don\'t see any trouble keeping myself constantly entertained between the both of these.
Plus I have a lot of other things I like to do besides video games even though its one of my favorite hobbies

Thats koo. I noticed the forum probs too, when I do 2 replys in a row, my 2nd reply replaces the 1st one.

Well, I think hey, if you have the money to buy 4 systems, and want to, you should. I know I can\'t, so I choose 1 system, PS2, and stick with it. Now, if I had the money, and wanted a game not on the PS2? I\'d buy another system. That just makes sense.
Even with a 40 hour work week, and summer courses, I can still find 67.5 minutes a day to play consoles (that\'s 8 hours a week, or 2 hours per console, if I had 4). Seems reasonable to me.
Now, I probably play a lot more than an hour a day, while still going out. After all, I\'m up 16 hours a day, spend 8 working, 2 eating/bathing/dressing/etc, 2 doing school work/other work. 4 hours free time a day. Weekends are about 50% freetime... so as you can see, I can lead a full lifestyle without giving up on MY leisure time.
My free time is taken up by TV, reading, consoles, friends, excersize. I have at least 30 free hours a week though, easy. Most people do, if they sit down and actually figure out how much time they waste every day.
Just look at how much time I just spent typing this! :crying:
Oh NO! I coulda been playin\' my PS2!!!!

Moron. I never said what I was saying was true, I just thought it was hilarious.
You see, your obviously in a very good financial situation. However, you come to a MB with the name Ethugg, but your definately not a thug since your rich.
How can anyone not find that amusing? :D

Apparently you missed the \'I like making fun of ppl too.\' part. You need to look up the defenition of thug:
Main Entry: thug
Pronunciation: \'th&g
Function: noun
Etymology: Hindi thag, literally, thief
Date: 1810
: a brutal ruffian or assassin : GANGSTER, KILLER
- thug·gery /\'th&-g(&-)rE/ noun
- thug·gish /\'th&-gish/ adjective
Nothing there precludes me from being rich (which I also never said I was).
-
lol!
Well, then... Peace to the consoles thread gone bad: Will they ever learn??
Seriously, I thought it was extremely funny that an topic posting about peace and whatnot ends up in a very entertaining flame war.
And, ugh... I was going to agree with what was in the article, but I\'m not sure if you guys would know what I\'m talking about anymore.
