2003: The year of the Xbox

[PC-Engine]

Even though Johnny has somewhat degenerated a little lately, I still haven't gotten to the point of getting really annoyed yet

He does have certain good qualities though when it comes to sales statistics like Ben, and SEGA support like myself hehe.

His one line remarks are kinda funny though. Equally funny are the remarks from cybermac and CaptainHowdy on various topics

I guess I just get tired of the same old arguments from people with emotional problems. Cybamerc has an IRATIONAL hatred of MS/Xbox that drives him to argue the smallest point against it. Teasy has an IRATIONAL love of Nintendo that makes him do the same as far as Nintendo is concerned.

At some point I just call it like I see it. Only a fool or MS-hating fboy would argue that Doom III is not coming to Xbox. It's ridiculous.

I used to have an IRATIONAL hatred of Sony/PS2. I thank Vince, Marconelly, Faf, and others on this board for helping me to balance my views. For instance, I've recently stated my true opinion on PS2: That it's a system with some good/great games that I don't personally need to play but think more than justify the price of the hardware. It's just my preference.

I still have SOME bias, but I don't post anti-PS2 crap anymore and I don't argue with people who say that PS2 has a great games lineup or offers a lot to casual gamers. I also underestimated the technical features it has. In other words, I'm trying to be more objective, but it's a slow steady process.

People like Teasy and Cybamerc would be well-served by wrestling with their own gaming demons instead of arguing incesistantly against obvious truths.

Obvious truths (just to pick three recent examples):

Nintendo's main target demographic is young kids.
Factor 5 is VERY biased in favor of the Gamecube hardware they helped create.
Doom III is coming to Xbox.

I was a slave to my hatred of Sony/PS2 for awhile. Release your anger guys. In the end, it's not worth the energy.

Some of my friends criticize my kiddy Cube. I just tell them: Alot of my Cube games are for kids (SMS, Starfox), but I LIKE kids games. They're fun, but I don't delude myself into thinking that Starfox and Mario weren't made primarily for children. The mature response is admitting the truth and dealing with it.

There's less arguments that way...

I can understand that, I used to be totally anti-xbox.. maybe its the same with you, but you start off having no preference one way or the other, you like all three, then someone from one console just starts trashing some of your favorite games, you defend them, they get worse.. I have a theory, there is no way to stopping trolls, they create new ones out of ordinary people, after fans of one console bash yours so much, you eventually retort, before you know it, it can become heated..

now, I feel no console is perfect, I think all three have plenty to offer, and the arguments have no purpose, just play the games.
