Pulling Hair Out

Eh, I stopped playing Halo when my Xbox, and most other technology declared war on me. (They're doing quite well too...) I figure I should dust off my Gamecube off and return to my Nintendo roots, but I'm too busy playing Snake Eater and Ace Combat 4 four my PS2, and Metal Gear Ac!d for my PSP... This entire event has me asking Master Chef?

Two notes: 1. To Eagle, I honestly didn't know what you were saying. All I was able to discern were mentions of bibles and other junk. 2. In regards to Stern, love him or hate him, this is America, land of the free, home of say whatever you feel like.

Well I strongly disagree with Eagle, I believe the right to choose your own orientation is a biological right. No leather bound book should tell you what is and isn't right. It's basic human morality that decides that. Alas, I dont want this to get into a debate about sexuality, so I'll close with the fact that I'm happy for George, and hope that he and his partner have a happy and unashamed life together.

Yeah, so the title says most of it. It sucks, seeing as how I'm not allowed to install AIM, and aparently using AIM express crashes my internet explorer. I'm about at my wits end with this hunk of... yeah. So, if you need something, email me [email protected] Aparently, technology has declared a war on me, since my xbox died for no reason last night too. ::Waits for a satilite, or something to that effect to land on him::

Oy, its been a long time since I did anything for halloween, but theres going to be a costrume party on saturday, so I'll attend that. Monday I'll wear my flop hat and fuzzy glasses to school, and go like the pimpin mofo that I am :)

I recently did a number of logs for the Agincourt (Jamie) that I liked. More then often, logs pop into my head during sims. It's either "Oh, that's something that would be great to go into detail" or, "Oh, this could be a good backstory" Unlike what I didn't in the Reaent, I'm allowing the plot itself to determine my logs. Before, I just realeased what I wanted how i wanted, but I try to flow more now. If a plot opertunity to give a little back history presents itself, I'll take it, but your probably not going to see an out of the blue log detailing Jamie's life. But, like I said, my log often have no real sense of direction when I write them. I just put down things as they pop into my head. Now, joint logs are a bit different, I usually set a goal to reach by the end of the log, but until then, things just happen :)

(Xtremely ****ed up Leauge :)) Crappy Sport

XXL (That song is stuck in my head)

That just added a odd new degree to the already dirty flightstick comment by Kroells...

heh, Cougar took what I was gonna change too before the NFS Reaent... So instead... "Witness above, Colonel Kroells's piloting skills"

::Waits for either the collective wrath, or enjoyment of Kestra and Debbie:: B)

I dunno, I've only seen a couple of Vulcans in action. Vanroy doesn't get my vote, since he tried to eat my on that one mission... I supose my vote would have to go to Sovak. He's probably the best Vulcan I've seen played...

Well, I dont know much about the weather, but I do know that this year will remind us just how ominous these storms can be. It sucks how it takes stuff like this to remind us just how bad things can get B)

Pain

So yeah, I got bored, and decided to bring it up. And since I don't see it any wear else I'm making this the defacto discusion for the next-next generation consoles. That being said, I sorely hope we wont have any fan-boys ruining for us. Yes, I know you think Gamecube is Gamegay but please keep your mouth shut, for the good of a actual discussion that probably intrests a number of simmers. That being said, back when I was little, video games ammounted to a blue hedgehog running to the right, jumping over things, my how far we've come <_< I was about 9 when the N64 came out, and it turned me into a Nintendo Fanboy. PS2 came around, and I waited, knowing it'd suck compared to Nintendo. Well, 2001 comes 'round, and I get my Gamecube. I'm not dissapointed, I got Super Smash Bros. Melee, and it's still my favorite game of this generation. (::murdered by Halo fanboys::D Well, march rolls along, and I get confirmed, and get oodles of money. Yes, I just said oodles. Well, seeing as how I protested my entire confirmation process on account of me not believing in god (an entirely other story) I decided to show my family whats what by buying and Xbox with the confirmation money (my one aunt still wont talk to me.) I got it and I was like..."Damn!" Slowly and slowly my Xbox got played more, then the library became larger. Now my Xbox library is a 2:1 ratio of my Gamecube, and the Nintendo system hasn't been touched in months. This isn't anything against Nintendo, but a lesson to show you that just cause the system is made by a certain company, doesn't mean its going to suck. Case in point, I bought a used PS2 this christmas for MGS3, and I enjoy it alot, and I still play Ace Combat a whole lot. :lol: Now, onto the main subject, what do you think will turn around this time? I honestly cant say who I think will win, cause I dont know! PS3 is boasting superior power this time around, and it already has a large fanbase. Not to mention the backwards compatibility. If you've been with Sony since the beginging, you now have like...an ungodly amount of games to play B). I think Microsoft will do a lot better this time around. It proved itself with this generation, and the Halo franchise brought in plenty of gamers. I think with the first release, gamers looking to the future my find a place with Xbox 360. The screens that I've seen on it haven't been too impressive, but I'm not about to go slamming an unreleased product. I think the big loser of this will be Nintendo. I think that being on top in the early 90's warped the company. They used to be able to bend people to their will, but not so much anymore. The comment still burns me when a Nintendo Exec quoted "People do not want online gamming" I believe SOCOM and Xbox Live speak for that. I just dont think Nintendo is going to be able to produce what people want anymore. Sure, I love playing Mario and stuff every once in a while, but I also like to shoot things too. Nintendo refused to believe that selling games like GTA will help them. Sure, it isn't a very moral thing to do, but morality never saved a business. On top of that, we know nothing of the "Revolution" I can understand a want to keep things secret, but when your looking at a kid ready to spent 400 bucks on a 360, do you honestly expect him to listen when they say "Trust us, it's gonna be really good...honestly" No self respecting person is gonna wait on that, which is essentially what Nintendo is giving us. The whole downloadable ROM thins burns me too. For those of you that hadn't heard, Nintendo is boasting that the Revolution will be able to play every game ever made on a Nintendo Console through downloadable ROMs or something. This just doesn't sit well with me. All I see it as is a marketing ploy to buy everygame you already have... And plus, god knows what else people could end up putting on those ROMs....I can just picture illegal downloads for the thing already. And anyone that's played a Halo 2 Team Slayer game knows the problem of Hackers... Anyways, after spealing, I think I have my picks... 1. PS3 (Just bearly, because of the better graphics, and large fanbase) 2. Xbox 360 (Right behind, will continue to gain momentum into the next-next-next generation.) 3. "Revolution" (By the time we finally find something out about this thing, people will be saying Revo-I dont care anymore.) Oh, I thought I'd post some screens from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (3/4 of the reason I'm buying a PS3 and an Xbox 360) for drool effect. If anyone else has some sweet looking screens of up coming games, post them and let us gawk.

I dont honestly see how the Blu-Ray will make 360 obsolete. All it is a different format, PS3 discs will just be able to hold more data.
