Actually, we did more Atari than Intellivision. It still works, and I still like to fire it up every so often. We have a bunch of titles that I, yes, played and still do. I have fond memories of spending many a night playing those. And since then, we've had (and still have) just about every system to ever come out in the U.S. ( I can't think of one we don't have, really) I'm well versed in games. I've MORE than kept up with the generations, haha.

EDIT - Don't questions mods other than over PM.

And as for the leniency that's fine IF it's the rules. No special laws for certain people unless it's in the rules.

I don't think anyone was questioning your "gamer credz", for lack of a better term. That never came up anywhere. This just what we do, so you have to understand there's a pretty big passion there. We all share that same passion in here, so stuff is going to get shaky once in awhile, but we generally clear it up on our own terms.

EDIT - I stand my my initial post.

Here he goes again! Weeeeee!

BTW, for all the Sony butt-loving you've done over the past year, did you even spring for that excellent PS3? Be honest.

Of course not. Never said I was going to, either. But it's a great machine, there are great games coming out for it, and I plan on purchasing one whenever I can get my hands on the cash. Like I said, the price is prohibitive right now, but I'm sure it will do well in the long run. Christ, it's got everything but the kitchen sink under the hood, so I don't doubt its capabilities.

Peanut · 01-08-2007, 12:14 PM

And by everything you mean a hard to develop for processor, that even Sony themselves admits won't be fully utilized? Or is it the awesome up-scaler it uses to make all those once promised 1080p native games, that all ended up being 720p native, run in 1080p? You know, the one that doesn't exist and makes it so you have to run your PS3 in 720p in order to play a game in that resolution, otherwise it down-scales it to 480p?

And yeah, man! Those awesome PS3 games. Like...you know...the ones that won't eventually show up on 360 in a better resolution and with more polish thanks to the 360 being the the lead SKU for all third-party games. Like that one game...uh....you know the one I'm talking about.....uh....let me get back to you on that one.

Whatever bro. We'll see in a year's time where the consoles stand when compared to each other. Maybe you're right, maybe Sony won't come out on top this generation. Something tells me they will, for whatever reason.

Anyway, I'm not losing sleep over it -- it's all good. This generation is going to be interesting, for sure.

A disagreement! O NOES CLOSE THE THREAD!

Give me a break. Anyway, I'm done posting in here for a while. You guys have fun.

**Jo Dawn** · 01-08-2007, 01:28 PM

I'll thank you to not question a mod decision.

That's what the mod section is for. Thank you.

I'd rather not give you the pleasure of e-drama. You can PM me if you want, though.

Back on topic. I've done enough in here.

**Jo Dawn** · 01-08-2007, 01:57 PM

No drama at all (and who likes that?) Just stating the rules, my dear. That should have ended it.

And on topic... Brother and I have gotten farther on Resistance. It's really fun. Though I admit I got lost in the higher brush a couple times, haha. Oh well, that's the fun of it all, hm?

*Spitfire* · 01-08-2007, 02:42 PM

Games are games, no matter who sells the most it's not like one system is going to sell so bad it will crash and burn. Even the Dreamcast lasted a long time, still had great games on it too.

I got a 360 because it was the perfect middle ground. It had alot of good games on it coming out that I wanted and I just like the overall idea of it. So I got one and I'm happy with it.

The Wii and the PS3 never caught me. All the ps3 games I wanted*Except DMC 4, which I no longer want because they changed the main character to this Nero guy* are going to 360, on top of some 360 exclusive games like Dead Rising and Lost Planet. As for Wii, well there is only two Wii games I read about that I want and it's this RE game that explains the plot holes*Or so Capcom says* and Smash Brothers other then that there's nothing else I care for on it. I bought a Gamecube and I want to like it but honestly it does nothing for me. I look at my collection and all I ever used it for were a few party games and the RE series.

Now I understand Wii and GC are different with the new controller and all but I foresee the same thing happening. Like my DS I got rid of that too because I just never played it. I had 6 games for it and I never really played them. Hand held never appealed to me much after the Gameboy color I guess. With Nintendo I feel like my older stuff holds more value over the new stuff. Cause I play my NES and SNES way more then my GC.

Anyways, boy I went way off the road there for a minute, I picked 360 and I think I made a good choice. I decided this gen I would be buying one system and one system only. Since I had a GC and PS2 last gen and while I played both I always played one alot more then the other until it collected dust, but the end I was fed up with gaming and didn't play either I was so bored with them. The 360 got me back into gaming and I have more games for it in the short time I've had it then I've ever bought for any system in such a short time. Most of them aren't multi-platform games either.

So like I was saying before just because say the PS3 sells bad doesn't mean it will go away, and I hardly doubt it will lose that much support*There's always Japan who worship it* I say it will work out perfectly for us. The PS3 will have more Japanese games*Which I hate for the most part* and the 360 more American/European games. So whoever wins this war it doesn't matter we all win in the end anyways.

exactly and also notice that Japan doesn't even want the 360.. they will get the ps3 and wii.

*Spitfire* · 01-08-2007, 04:19 PM

They don't want it because Japan likes Generic stuff, anything that tries to be new or different is overlooked. Why I like American games, we made RPGs that don't have turn based combat, while Japan was still using menus.

Peanut · 01-08-2007, 05:29 PM

There's so much stuff with the last three posts I don't even know where to begin.

This is easily one of the stupidest things that's ever been posted here.

Really because honestly not much original comes out of Japan anymore. It's mostly lame RPGs or games marketed at your penis. Look at the PS2 line up over half the games are a bunch of crap RPGs that didn't even make it over here.
