About Me
OMG GAMES.

I'm a student in Manchester over here in the always sunny UK. I can juggle, like cats and can't say the alphabet backwards very fast.

The Podcastle is sexy, listen to it.

Games have become a backward-looking medium. Because game designers rely on the language of cinema, they have not sufficiently developed a new form of storytelling based on the language of video games. - Daniel Radosh 28/09/07

Dear Xbox Live: You Asshat.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I recently got your letter regarding the issues you have been having over the past few days with Xbox LIVE. Wait, no I didn't sorry, I read it on some website as you haven't actually sent me anything. Regardless, I would just like to say that you appear to have, once again, let a magic 8 ball decide the best PR strategy for your screw up.

Firstly, you haven't admitted your epic failing. You knew exactly how many consoles you have sold and you knew exactly how many people would hop on Live during the holiday season, yet you still got caught out? Why? I can only assume bad management and the fact you know people like me don't have much of a choice.

Instead of saying “oh, we're sorry.” you said “oh, we're just to fucking awesome, aren't we?”. That does leave a slight sickening feeling in me if I'm honest. You are disappointed at the fact you blatantly screwed up? No you're not, your disappointed you were caught out offering a sub-par service.

Secondly, instead of giving me money back, you will be offering me a full Xbox LIVE game. A full one you say? Well, great! I have been wanting to buy a few for a while now. What was that? I don't get a choice? So you're not really giving me anything are you? No.

Thanks for all your hard work, I want a PS3 now. At least I know off the bat that they don't give a crap about their customers.

Fuck you.

hugs and kisses

Its wonderful how those of us who switched to consoles to avoid the epic fail of a PC, get a big slap in the face from Xbox every time something goes wrong. Oh, thats right, they're made by a PC company, that's the problem right there.

Too bad Sony has sold any form of soul to some unnamed god that eats small children and puppies.

Nintendo should up the ante, now.

You know that no one is reading this after listening to Episode 3 of The Podcastle, right, wardrox?

Well, aside from the PSN being down for half a day on or immediately after Christmas, I haven’t had any issues playing online.

Wait, that’s a lie. Trying to play CoD 4 on New Year’s Eve was quite annoying, but I’m assuming that’s more of an issue with Infinity Ward’s servers (or lack thereof).

Also, I’m not trying to be an ass, but here’s a tip: “your” =/= “you’re”. (And just to clarify, “=/=” is the internet equivalent of “does not equal”.)

hate to say it boss, but PS3's servers have been pretty fucked up as of late as well. there's no where to turn but the Wii.
