“Hello. My name is Action Bastard and I’m an Internet douchebag�. Troll. Asshole. Fanboy. Douchey Houser M.D. I’ve heard it all. I’ve been called it all. And in certain contexts, all apply. First and foremost, I consider myself a gamer. In that, I play video games. A lot. Having owned all 3 console this generation (at some point and time) I love the Playstation 3. Absolutely love it. From gaming to movies to music to pictures, a system I once hated and mocked is now the staple of my home entertainment center. And that is where my story begins… One thing I like to do is review some of my comments on various gaming sites. Destructoid (pre-ban), Kotaku, Joystiq (yes, fucking Joystiq), N’Gai’s blog at Newsweek and a few others I frequent regularly and (most importantly) comment on. I’ve always been somewhat confrontational and have noticed I have a pretty consistent record for shit talk and PS3 rah-rah. Sometimes (and I stress sometimes) I can be rather level-headed and express myself in non aggressive manner. Unfortunately, I allow myself more times than not, to be dragged down into the abyss of irrational thought and fanboy tomfoolery. As with most gaming sites and blogs today, you must conform to the mob mentality to ever really be heard. That or just start shit and watch people’s days implode because they have vested all of their emotions into a movie or comic or game console. I’m as guilty as the next. So in my infinite wisdom, I’ve compiled my top 10 truths (or confessions if you will), regarding my general feelings towards one of my passions…gaming. Not that anyone cares. And not that I care what anybody doesn’t…care…about? 1. The Wii isn’t THAT bad. Most of the games ARE. 2. I like the 360. I’d like it more if it worked and didn’t nickel and dime you. 3. Waiting this long for in-game XMB is absurd. 4. If my 360 hadn’t RROD 6 times, it would probably still be primary console. 5. I owned 2 PS3s before keeping the one I currently cherish. 1 went to Ebay at launch ($1200 FTW) the other I didn’t want. At the time, the 360s features were just too much for firmware 1.6. Sorry Sony. 6. I play more Gamecube games on my Wii than Wii games. 7. I’d like to play any co-op game with Jim Sterling of Destructoid and apologize for being a dick. 8. Selling an HD gaming console without high def cables is like selling a HD gaming console with a DVD player. 9. Microsoft’s 360 headstart didn’t put them ahead as much as it should. 10. I’m happy Bioshock is coming to the PS3. Not because I like the game but because it is one less 360 exclusive. There, I said it. You happy Buck? 11. ***BONUS*** I’ve seen Ron Workman’s taint. It’s braided and kissed with glitter. Oddly arousing…. ***BONUS*** They say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. Seeing how I have no problems to admit to, this recovery stuff should be smooth sailing.
