The funniest thing I've heard in a while... Or maybe I've already heard this.
FLS119 | 10:17 PM on 10.08.2007 4 comments


Ok, so in case you don't know, I prefer to stay out of these console wars. They're pointless, but Sony does keep pissing me off. Their PS2 was a great system, but now not so much. I will stop before I get out of hand and I get flamethrown with hate comments. Up until now I didn't care much, but this funny thing just happened.
Back story: I know a kid that I went to high school with( goes to college with me now) and he's an uber( and I mean uber) Sony fan boy. He is way into Final Fantasy and all that jazz. Also he likes Nintendo sparingly. Microsoft, not so much. Oh well. Anyways, here's the punchline. He and I talk about the console wars sparsely and he's the Sony guy and I'm the 360 guy. He has said this before and I play it nice, but it's really getting more humorous every time I hear it. Here's what he sent me again( I've heard this before keep in mind.)
"Plus there are rumors floating around that HALO is gonna come in a box set for PS3." Wow. That statement alone makes me forget about my stupid cold I've had for the past 5 days. I'm sorry, but it's really funny when people are in ignorance? I think that's what it is. I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I don't know what the word is to describe a person that thinks they know what they're talking about, but has no clue what they are talking about whatsoever. Oh well. The point is the statement is as blasphemous as God of War or Killzone 2 on the 360. I couldn't see that happening anytime unless the companies wanted to make more cash. But really, the battle lines have already been drawn. Game developers have already picked their allegiances to which specific console. We're not going to see Mario, Master Chief or Kratos switching consoles anytime soon. So in case it's still not clear to those that still think Halo 3 will arrive on the PS3(bwhahahah XP ), here's a message endorsed by Master Chief himself:



Have a great day! Commence intense flammery! I definitely know there's a bunch of people that enjoy the PS3 that will argue. It's cool though, but honestly, I like to think that each console is unique on it's own and games don't determine a console's greatness, it's the consumer/gamer that determines that.

microsoft still owns the halo ip... i mean, it states it quite plainly in the article about ms and bungie splitting. Still, the rumours were pretty much guaranteed to come.

When you have no actual facts about your system you can brag about you tend to make some up.

MS is never going to give up the halo franchise. ever. theres just no way that will ever. ever. happen. but 360s now got the katamari so cheers!

Yah, this dude is an uber Sony fanboy. I don't have anything against Sony, but I really don't see Microsoft saying "oh it's cool. Chief, suit up, you're heading to the PS3!" anytime soon. Actually, I don't think it will ever happen. The rumors are just a fun way of scaring the shit out of Sony and it is quite humorable, but fanboyness aside, it is better to get your facts straight like TheMartino mentioned before you state any "direct and concise" facts that you have no clue talking about *cough *cough directed to the Sony fanboy in the pots I mentioned.

 about me

I've been playing video games since I was 5. I started off on the Nintendo(but my dad smashed it due to the fact my brother and I played it excessively). I also, at this time, was introduced to many other golden gems on the PC such as Command and Conquer, Dune, Commander Keen, and Doom. I later was treated to the Super Nintendo(one of the greats by the way) and then a 64(Pokemon Stadium FTW!) and then I gradually made my way up to an Xbox. Funny thing is I almost ALMOST got a PS2, but my uncle recommended to me to the Xbox. A great decision, although I wouldn't mind the Megaman games on the 360....
Systems I've pwn/pwned
Consoles:
1.Nintendo Entertainment System
2.Super Nintendo
3.N64
4.Xbox(died. R.I.P. 2001-2005)
5.Xbox360
Handhelds:
1.Game Boy(still have)
2.Game Boy Color(Deceased. RIP)
3.Game Boy Advance

Future Consoles to be added:
1.PSP or DS
2.Wii!!!!!!!
Also a decent comp that plays good games ala Hitman Contracts, Command and Conquer Tiberium Wars, etc.

Now I happily own a 360 and still building my collection of games. The following will eventually be added to my already expansive library of 360 games:
1.Too Human
2.Ninja Gaiden 2
3.Gears of War 2
4.Fable 2
5.Spiderman Web of Shadows(maybe I'll get this if it doesn't suck..)
6.Tom Clancy's Endwar
7.Bioshock
8.Assassin's Creed
9.Mercenaries 2
10.GTA IV(I will get this game very soon....

And maybe many more. Bottom line is, I'm all for having fun with video games. Whether they're arcade, DDR, Guitar Hero, Halo, Counterstrike, whatever, I don't normally play for competition. The only acception is if I run into some stupid people on the net that are antagonizing me, then I try to step up my game to be in pwnage mode. haha j/k but seriously I try to be competitive to when I need to be.
That's about it.

Also Olivia Munn=Mind-Blowlingly-Incredible. End of story.


Anything else, just ask I guess. Occasionally, I'll do game reviews or extract interesting bits of information on the interwebs and post them for people to know.
