The Thread of Gaming Randomness

[ganonbanned]

i have a really weird story about a friend who has a problem:  My friend and i were pretty much nintendo fanboys, equally loving both sega and microsft, but hating sony.  now i have no idea what the hell has gotten in to him, but i went to his house yesterday and brought soem gamecube games and wireless controller.  i went there every weekend and played games.  he said "you know what, nintendo sucks.  graphics and gameplay both do" which is strange, he used to love game play and graphics, and thought the gamecube was brilliant.  i then seen boxes of classic games, that he loved for like 2 weeks, with all of this gamecube and xbox stuff, that he said he was selling on ebay to save up for a PS3 .  he said he would of given it to me but "he really needs the money, metal gear solid 4 is PWNAGE!!! (another word he hated a month ago).  this is fricken crazy, me and my other friend sat there and played super smash bros melee, when he was on some damn sony forums bitchin about how stupid we were and convincing us that "sony was the man".  after about an hour me and my other friend just packed up our games and left, after traitor stared talking about how "shiggy (i hate calling him that) and bill gates give eachother oral sex"

Yeah, I had a little sit down with your friend and he changed his mind.

You need to have an intervention with your friend.

No one should buy the PS3. I hear that one of their secret functions is to eat babies.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Well yeah, they've got way too many babies in that part of the world.

I'm surprised I never thought of this or tried it... dang, there went my million dollar idea.

[Alabama-Shrimp]

wow thats so gay and stupid to do to a GB case something tells me hes the only one thats done that.

ok a very exciting question, If i know what a good game plays like and so do you why the chuff is it that the majority of games ,no matter what the system, are shit?

[RetroYoungen]

The majority of games suck because of Oprah and Alcoholics Anonymous.  Don't question it.

And I would do something like that with a Game Boy case... except probably hide in it something more often useful (or emergency something).
<"r />Also, I read that the PS3 could robotically mow my lawn.  Awesome!

"There's no doubt that EA has historically bet more on PSP. I think we were excited by the technology, but the consumers have proven that actually what they want is fun. We must never forget that what we need to focus on is fun and so EA is putting more effort behind DS games – and creative ones that really take advantage of the hardware."

Alert! Mobsters targeting MMOGs

Security engineer warns conference attendees that "organized crime" is selling stolen massively multiplayer online game accounts on the black market.
Players of massively multiplayer online role-playing games spend at lot of time creating their characters. With monthly subscriptions to games like World of Warcraft (paid) and Guild Wars (free) bringing an unending flow of new adventures, players spend hundreds of hours completing quests, accumulating experience, and acquiring gold and items.

As a result, a strong emotional bond between MMORPG players and their characters often forms. So it was unsurprising, then, that more than a little distress was caused by a warning this week from Microsoft that criminal elements are hacking into MMORPGs, stealing MMORPG account information, and selling it on the black market--effectively kidnapping and killing characters.
