The Cry of the Fanboy

System Wars, it is a cursed place where few dare to tread. Life is a not too prevalent force within the boarders of System Wars, few examples of wildlife such as sheep, cows and lemmings scatter the land, intelligent life, however, is non-existent. You may say, what foolish man would ever even consider speaking of such a place lest he vomit his lunch. I not only speak of it I have gone there, the place where there is no god and brain cells die at the first steps across the border, this is my story. The following are quotes, things said by the locals of this land. I warn you, these people are mad, I advise not to make trips to this damed hell, I have made them so you don't have to.

“At college their is gang that actually beats people up for having a DS. I quite agree with them to do it to because everytime i ever hear someone talking about the DS its normally things like 'DS is for poofs' and 'my little brother has a DS'. Personally i would be embarrased to have a DS because it would ruin my reputation and people would call me a loser.”

“stfu nintendo ds is so lame it got cheap as graphic the only rated M game they have is resident evil sorry **** its the 21 century we dont play with little kids game anymore”

“Nintendo is just not good at consoles.”

“Giant crabs? Riiiiiidge Racer? That's all you have to say? Well I'm sorry, but giant crabs used to exist back then and nothing is really that embarassing about Ridge Racer.”

“Heh. Actually, even the PS2 was able to do 4D. MGS3 did it.”

"Nintendo doesn't make games fool, they publish them."

"Einstein and Hitler lived during different time periods."

"All DS gets are sequels and remakes. Like that remake of the original Super Mario Brothers and the port of Mario Kart 64."

“****station 3 with blue**** disc”

"Sega have been around for longer than Nintendo"

“Metroid Prime is JUNK.”

"Plus, the better graphics a game has, the less room the game has for actual gameplay"

"Kameo is the best game ever. Kameo is your God!!! Bow down to Kameo!!!!!"

"Rumble is the worst thing ever invented, and it is dangerous."

"Gaming is for fun ? you casual... the industry is getting lame because of casuals.”

"Resistance: Flop of Man"

Level 25: Defias Brotherhood

WTF is the Defias Brotherhood? Is it some sort of cult? :D

Anyway, my Uber Super Duper PwNage powers here at Gamespot continue to grow quickly.  n00bs be warned, I WILL hunt you down...

Dead Rising Looks Like a Winner.

Just played the demo on Xbox Live, the game has a great personality. The gameplay feels a lot like God of War in that it feels so satisfying to kill things and the theme feels a lot like Resident Evil but with a sense of humour, can't wait to buy the full version.

In an unrelated topic, I just snagged me a used copy of Oddworld: Munch's Odyssey for $5 and a brand new copy of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for $10. I have a lot of gaming to do.

Level 24 and a new PC!!! *UPDATED*

LEVEL 24!!! I have officially become a Gamespot god!! PRAISE ME!!

Anyway, my super human greatness aside, I just got a new PC. A HUGE upgrade from my last hunk of crap. Here are the specs:

Intel Pentium D dual core @ 3.6 Ghz
256 GB Harddrive
1 GB RAM
ATI Radeon x200 64MB

The video memory isn't exactly the best, but the motherboard is PCI-e ready so I'm planing to get a new video card soon, it has to be a Radeon though. Also, the RAM is serviceable but chugs during gaming, but upgrading that to 1GB should be easy. Any help with the video cards (info & suggestions) would be helpful, I'm not that big of a PC gamer despite the fact that most of my games are on that platform.
____________________
UPDATE: Holy crap, I'm such a n00b! I just installed another 512MB of RAM on this thing and it took me almost an hour! Not because I didn't know what to do, but because I was freaking out and worrying that I was going to ruin my new computer. Anyway, In the end I got it done, so now my computer has 1GB of RAM (1.024GB if you want to get specific). I also ordered a ATI Radeon X1600 512MB PCI-e video card online, It should arrive soon.

Thinking about getting a Mac...

I've been using a PC for years now and I really hate the interface and feel of Windows, Vista ain't doing it for me either. I've been looking into the new iMacs and been hearing only good things about OS X and they seem pretty cool and since the new Intel powered iMacs can run Windows and in turn all Windows made programs I should have no compatibility issues, at least when going from PC to Mac.

I still have some issues though. From what I can tell these Macs aren't upgradable so do I have to buy a new Mac every time it gets a little outdated? Also, I'm a gamer and compatibility aside (since the new Intel Macs run Windows), the iMac's specs seem pretty dated compared to newer PCs and on top of that they're more expensive ($1,668 ). Anyway, If anyone has a Mac or has used one I'd appreciate if you share your opinion on if it's worth getting one and switching from PC.


Intel Core Duo 2.0 GHz
512 MB of Memory
250 GB Hardrive
ATI RadeonX1600 128 MB
20" Screen size

Scored a Gem.

Just bought a used copy of Panzer Dragoon Orta for $10 at my local Block Buster. Too bad the game is not 360 compatiable so I have to lug my Xbox back upstairs from the basement. If anyone has this game it'll be nice to hear some thoughts or opinions on it. Thanks.

BEHOLD! The start-up screen of the greatest game of all time!

Calm down people! Wii can get through this...

Don't you just love the title! Anyway, as everybody has learned by now, Revolution has been named and that name is the Nintendo Wii. Now if we'd please get past the urine jokes and whining we can start to GET ON WITH OUR LIVES. I personally loved the Revolution name much better but we're going to have to learn to live with the Wii, personally I think I'll learn to love it as well. So in tribute to the Wii I have compiled a list of weird, stupid and messed up names that have nevertheless made their way into our culture and are now considered cool, hopefully Wii will join them. Here it goes:

Intel Viiv
Xbox
Xbox 360
Yahoo!
Quidditch
Muggle
iMac (almost anything from Apple)
Darth *insert name of villain here*
Wikipedia
the Sims
Yu-Gi-Oh
Nintendogs
Pokemon


E3 Predictions. As accurate as the National Inquirer...

Here are my predictions of what will happen at E3 this year with the three major console makers.

Nintendo:
In my opinion, Nintendo will steal the show this year. Almost everything there is to know about Revolution and its games will be shown and a bunch of new DS games will also be there. Expect little GBA related news.

-Confirmation that Revolution will the the final name for their Next-Gen machine.(Update: Ok, so I was WRONG)
-First videos and playable demos of Metriod Prime 3, Smash Bros. Revolution, Red Steel and Twilight Princess gameplay with "revmote."
-Video demos of Mario 128, Sadness and of thrid party offerings.
-List of downloadable games for virtual console by Nintendo and 3rd parties. Expect support from Square Enix.
-Date and Price for Revoltion.
-Smash Bros. game for DS (long shot, but I have a feeling...).
- New Brain Flexing games for DS.
-Date and price for North American DS lite.
- Reggie will kill a man.



Kicking @$$ and taking names...

Microsoft:
Microsoft will probably garner the least amount of buzz mainly because their next gen machine is already out and everything there is to know is known. Even so, here are some things I think we'll see.

-Xbox Live web cam.
-New & classic games for Live Arcade.
-Video teaser for Halo 3 an KOTOR 3.
-Playable Demos of Mass Effect, Too Human, Blue Dragon and Gears of War.
-Bill Gates running like a girly girl.

See Bill Run:

Sony:

Of course, a lot of eyes will on Sony, they are the industry leader afterall. I expect to see little from Sony themselves but much more from the dedcated 3rd and 2nd parties both for PS2, PS3 and PSP. I think we'll see Sony distance themselves from UMD movies and the PS3's price.

-REAL playable PS3 demos of Killzone 2 and Lair.
-New video of Metal Gear Solid 4.
-Redesigned PS3 controller.
-Debut of Playstation Online Network.
-Announcement of Final Fantasy XIII for PS3, possible video teaser (long shot).
-More crazy Kutagari quotes.


You can see the insanity in his eyes!:o
