RE: gaming random thoughts - mdhvdukshsj - Jan. 24, 2008
dude, you've just gotten really weird
and its kinda sad since you were actually really cool. now you're some dumb grieffing tard
RE: gaming random thoughts - Roan - Jan. 24, 2008
Not really weird, just obnoxious and a little pointless.
Sure what happened to the wiki or whatever was an act of vandalism but it had a motive other than to just be a carp for the sake of it.
The thing with griefing is that people largely don't deserve it. Take for instance these people on Second Life, sure they may be into furries or whatever, but going in there and being obnoxious like those pictures you showed isn't only farcical, it's also just plain tasteless.
RE: gaming random thoughts - Blue - Jan. 24, 2008
roan, nice post. got me thinkn
but I can't say I believe in it.(don't take this as and counter-point or anything)
Competition, you mention in your second last paragraph, is exactly why. I just don't see how Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft (or other corporations to come) would withdraw from this profitable market (unless they were in the red or something). Nothing drives innovation like competition.
Socialism is great on paper but in real life works for a while and then loses steam. So an uber platform would work great in principle, but all it takes is some heavy handed complacency that comes across as dictatorship and some one will want to do it better.
I too am thinking that graphics are pretty soon aproaching their plateau, but factors such as how interactive, how open ended, physics, interfaces, ergonomics and "game play, artificial intelligence, story telling, online functionality" will (are) all become(ing) more important. As the the saying goes, "jack of all trades, master of none". no one machine would be able to excell in all the above for a reasonable amount of money in the near future. in additition, were it truely the only machine, the hardware market is monopolized, so why even strive for excellence?
the factors mentioned above are important to the different genres too. Depending on the audience and exprience the devs want to create justifies choice of more than one console.
hope that was somewhat cohesive

Please post this in the One Console Future topic.
Though it argues against a lot of what I said, I think it's a very good post.

RE: gaming random thoughts - Roan - Jan. 24, 2008
Yeah minus the part where I couldn't give two carp less about pc games.
I know they talk about other things but I don't really like anyone on the show. They all pretty much get on my nerves.
RE: gaming random thoughts - Roan - Jan. 24, 2008

RE: gaming random thoughts - Bey Brad - Jan. 24, 2008
because changing a wiki page to "you suck carp lololol" is a lot less involved than the sort of griefing you do
also yeah that stuff is getting pretty awful
RE: gaming random thoughts - Kei - Jan. 24, 2008
Should be getting No More Heroes tonight! I need to check if stores around here even have it though first- it's been a few days so they should.

Should've waited.
They're re-releasing it soon on Wii and 360 with added content.
LOL
RE: gaming random thoughts - Sega - Jan. 26, 2008
Woohoo FINALLY someone traded in Mortal Kombat Trilogy today at work, got it for $2
Also bought a heap of Retro Gamer magazines, pretty much my Favorite Video Game Magazine, I never buy Current Gen Magazines, you always have the Internet for that kind of Stuff, but Retro Gaming is different, you find out heaps of things you never heard off before.
Theres an Article about a guys Sega Master System collection, he pretty much has every single game that the Master System has to offer, Including different Variations, Ultra Rare games, Pirated ones and even Prototype ones, its freaking massive it takes up a Reasonably sized room, including every Console variation ( Even Pirated ones and the Tec Toy ones ) and the Accessories.
Collection is definitely in the Ten Thousand range.
RE: gaming random thoughts - Roan - Jan. 26, 2008
Why?
The Master System is carp.
