I should've never bought a PS3....
Triple C | 12:34 PM on 02.08.2009 18 comments


After somehow finding myself the proud owner of $600, being the nerd that I am, I went out and bought a PS3! Finally, I was able to experience the current generation of video games. I no longer had to scrounge through the used games at Gamestop, although that not to say that a lot of those games weren't great. So far I have purchased MGS4, CoD4, DMC4, Mirror's Edge, and SC4. All of this has truly made my life more interesting, as it gives me something to do besides playing Mister Mosquito over and over again, which is not a bad thing by any means. But this new fangled technology has also eaten my soul. Not good when you are starting another full semester in college, debating over whether to get my rank back up in CoD4 (because I didn't read what prestige mode does, dammit!) or to do my Environmental Science homework is a very difficult decision. The PS3 has also been responsible for taking my time away from everything else, including drawing, reading, socializing, etc. But I love it so much. When it told me that it needed access to the internet, probably to some secret information which Sony will use for global domination, I humbly purchased a $70 wireless router. I follow it's ever whim...

This is actually just a a rambling about blaming the PS3 for destroying my time management abilities, it makes me feel better about myself to blame an inanimate object : ). Now to whore myself off!

Because of this infernal machine I have only completed one drawing to date! The worst part is that most of it was finished before I bought the PS3, it sat around for a few days begging for me to finish it but I wouldn't listen. It wasn't a PS3.


Also before the purchase of what will now be referred to as the Soul Keeper, because that is just an awesome movie. I had also bought The Complete Works of Lewis Carroll. 1165 pages of goodness which has yet to be touched.


There have been some benefits though, more music listening has been happening to create a nice atmosphere for my online rampages, which actually just has me dieing...repeatedly, but that's not important! Peaches is the best companion to shooting people in CoD4, end of story.
Peaches- Teaches of Peaches

Steve Aoki - Pillowface and His Airplane Chronicles

Creature- No Sleep At All

These are my choices for online everything, completely sets the mood. Everyone should check into them!

Ok, I think I've written enough and I should have probably found some other time to do this besides in between CoD4 matches....time to shoot stuff! Rawr!

Will power man. FIGHT IT!

I'm the same way with my Xbox...at times...but then I realize, hey, my Xbox is there. It's not just going to get up and walk away from me. I can play it at any time I want.

I think that and I enjoy the rest of my day. I guess you just have to make time for your games...and fight back your urges...which sucks...but it can be worth it in the end.

Other than that, happy gaming.

I'll take your ps3
Qraze's Destructoid Blog
don't blame a console let alone a ps3 for your time management skills or lack there-of.

YOU ARE TO BLAME.

saying this in a blog or to your parents is only fuel for the fire that's been kindling. i take it you're the type of person that will kill 13 people and blame it on gta or a video game console. this blog is proof of that, that you are willing to blame a console for YOUR lack of social acceptance and/or restraint. i hate you and can see you doing horrible acts now with the thought that this blog will be a piece of evidence for your future actions in a court of law, with yourself saying "see judge mathis, i even wrote a blog detailing my addiction to fantasy, i'm not guilty of killing anyone! sony is!"

Procrastination is a terrible thing isn't it. I know how you feel, I got a bunch of school work to do but all I want to do is play Resistance 2 and the RE5 demo. It doesn't help everything you sit down to do homework you get distracted and start doodling on a scrap piece of paper. Damn this internet and tech savvy generation with minimal attention spans! AHHHH!

@Qraze: Wow. This isn't the first time I've seen you not get the most obvious sarcasm. Yeah, he jokingly blames his PS3 as the main problem, but he even says it's just something to put the blame on. It's obvious he is just saying this as a testament to his new found joy with his Ps3.

My girl won't get off my cock long enough to let me do my homework. No deal of willpower can fight that.

Just kidding, I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea about her in case any of you end up meeting her.

Glad to see someone enjoying a console and boiling it down which company or what. I yearn for the good old days when fanboys didnt have much of a voice and were generally ignored.
Dyna Geek's Destructoid Blog
Subtle. Very subtle, PS3 fans. XD

Don't let your PS3 wear the pants!
Palidi's Destructoid Blog
This happened to me last semester(even though I had mine for about 3 months beforehand) even when I only had MGS4/MGO(god I love MGO). Luckily my home is relatively close to the college I'm attending, so this semester I've been periodically leaving it home if I know I'm going to need more time for work.

Videogames -always- wear the pants.

And that's the way I likes it.

 about me

Hello, my name is Brian. I live in GA, the weather there sucks and there are many many stupid people here as well. I am an art student at a community college, because you pretty much do the same thing there as at a regular university but it's a lot cheaper. Woo!

I don't have much money to buy new fancy consoles, hence the community college, so instead I have a PS2 and a Gamecube (which was $30 and came with SSBM, yeah!). I also have a PSone and a Dreamcast along with a computer which I use for games time to time, but I mostly just stick with my other two consoles. One of my favorite series is Resident Evil because killing zombies and running around yelling "oh s---" to yourself every 5 minutes is the most fun you can ever have! Refer to first statement in this paragraph about why I'm not playing Left4Dead right now. Also finding games I consider to be "rare" makes me happy. Finding games like Rez, Skies of Arcadia Legends, and Ico at used game stores makes me jump for joy.

Besides all there there isn't really much else to me.
