oh
console fanboyism.
i was waiting for some flaming of halo fanatics, and final fantasy diehards.
I get asked which console I prefer working with every day. I have gotten to the point where I realize there is no correct answer, and just respond with a total verbal deflection that pretty much sends the message of: "Figure it our for yourself.".
And for the record, Sega started: "Console wars"
Shane Kim gets pretty obnoxious now when speaking about the XBOX v. PS3 when speaking to groups, which is pretty weird to witness, taking into account I have no idea what it is he actually does in the division.
If it comes down to it, and I'm forced to answer, I just say that I only play homebrew independent games for the Dreamcast. That usually shuts up the flame baiter's.
That was a great blog which i agree with wholly,But i beleive console fanboys are so because they honestly beleive that ther console is better then console x, and not just to be mindless consumer whores for the sake of it in the same vein that thers coke drinkers,ford drivers,and people who root for a certain sport team.I was loyal to nintendo durning the 16 bit era because they were the best then i drifted over to sony because they had better games simple as that ,but being emotionally tied to a faceless money making corporation is retarded :P
I think Halo haters are a lot more obnoxious than the fanboys, like the COD4 pwns Halo3 people. I was at a LAN party the other night and had to argue with a couple of them just to play Halo 3. I get it, you like COD4 more, but that doesn't mean Halo 3 is a bad game....geeze.
so, what's your stand on the one-console-future issue? pro or con?
@xper
Oh very pro. Although it will be weird to see Mario on the same console as, GTA lol.
I think its an inevitability.
nice writup man! enjoyed the read :-)
