About
I enjoy games. Lots of them actually. I enjoy festivals/raves. Been to a fair few. I enjoy smoking weed. It makes my incredibly dull life slightly enjoyable. I like drum and base, old school dubstep (Skream etc), house, most electronically / base driven music. But I also enjoy folk, indie, rock, rap etc etc. Anything that is 'good'.

My first major experience with games was completing Sonic 2 at the age of 5, much to my dads amazement. Its strange, I don't remember his reaction, but i do recall him not letting me play any more games until he completed them first. My all time favourite game is Banjo & Kazooie. God damn I love that bear & bird.

Games I love:
Dino Crisis 1/2
B & K
DQ8
Command & Conquer
Borderlands
Golden Axe
Crash Bandicoot: Warped
Resident Evil 2/4
Sonic 2
Altered Beast (despite never getting past the third level)
Radical Rex
Pokemon Blue/Gold/Ruby
Super Mario Sunshine/64
Diddy Kong Racing

N64 is my favourite console of all time.

Oh look, It's me!


Here is Lynx. Lazy bastard.

It never, ever seemed to bother me, since the day i bought my PS3 i was fine with it. I mean to start off with i had a 360. Then another. Then another. Finally it pissed me off so much that i decided to try out sony's black box, and never looked back. It was also the first console i got online (couldnt get the 360 hooked up, dont know why...). Now i really wasnt that bothered that about 98% of my friends who did play games, had a 360. Even those with both always went with the 360. At my tender age of 18, everyone is leaving and saying there fairwells as people head off around the country to different univeristys. Everyone but me.



I mean this story really is just a way of venting how sad i will be when everyone leaves, but the most annoying thing is people will still be connected via Xbox live. No one who is going away owns a ps3. But it just makes me wonder.....why? Why does everyone opt for the 360? What makes it so much better? Having never had xbox live (although i have played on it) i cant slate it and claim that pS3 iZ LoaWds BetTEr, but i mean what does it bring extra that the ps3 doesnt, apart from a £45 price tag? I here people claim that the community is better, that its a smoother experience etc, but i always think....is it worth £45? I dont actually know, but my view from what little i have played is that it isnt. For me, my current job is hardly placing me in a awesome finacial position, and that extra £45 could get me a new game, clothes or a good night out.

So with that in mind i dont see why more people dont play ps3. I mean i have seen the odd major fanboy on this site during my short time....wont mention any names *coughSexualChocolatecough*, but the majority seem to be 360 players. Sure, before the price drop a 360 was the obvious choice, but now ps3's are moderatly priced, and have a slightly better games library than before, i just dont get the view of it. Mabye its just my friends. Mabye it goes wider. What do you think, wonderfull community of destructoid?

By the way, in no way was this artice ment to be bias, troll baiting, flame baiting, racist, sexist, midgitist, hurtfull, spitefull or downright awful

Just come to the darkside. Ill pay you.

WHY DOES NOBODY LOVE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly, the whole console war thing has ensured that there is very little difference between the two services. I'm not going to say I have all three consoles but I have at one time or another owned all three and living with three other gamers ensures that I do have access. I think the main thing is that 360 got a head start so that everyone had one and switching to PS3 was expensive for a long time. My guess is everyone's friends just stuck with 360 because that is what they had and where all their friends were.
Also, chin up. Your blog has only been up for an hour or two, we don't constantly refresh the blogs looking for new ones. Patience.
I can't really explain why, but I just enjoy playing over Live more. Maybe it's because everything is just there, and with a few simple button presses (literally, like two buttons) you are in a party with all your friends and talking about what game to play next. Maybe I just don't know how to properly use my PS3 online, but that ease of harbor something I've never been able to match over PSN.

I'm actually in the opposite boat as you; al my real life friends have PS3s and only a few have 360s. Eecen still, I just have more fun playing on Live. Just a preference.

Wow, double post AND spelling fail. I'm on a roll!
I like the interface much better on Live. Plus all my friends are there.
A few years ago every single one of my friends were on the 360 and I was the only one who got a PS3. I ended up being shunned a little bit haha. But now many of them have got PS3s as well.

The thing with Live is that you just know everything is going to work right. Voice-chat, custom groups, custom soundtracks....it's always there on the 360. With the PS3 you have to go on a game-by-game basis and even then sometime things like voice-chat won't work right.
@MrAndyDixon......Double post fail!!!!!!.....lol...hmmm, well in around 3-4 weeks i shall be getting live, just a 3 month trial, see how it goes. I dont know why but i just find the controllers on the xbox to be too bulky, and not in a good way. Probably because i have played playstations my whole life.

@Celica...yes ive heard that the chat is much better, and im not suprised considering every match is like a funeral on the ps3. Your lucky if you get 2-3 people talking. Usually its a bunch of 7 year olds pointing out how shit i am at cod.


@Enkido......thats a good point. Due to the 360's head start i guess it was more of a ball ache for everyone to change console's after getting 'settled in' with the xbox. White bastard.
