Thanks for the warm "welcome back," everyone. I'll try to stop by more often, and leave a commentary or two. I was on a self imposed exile of all things video games of sorts.
Never imagined that there would come a time when I wouldn't rush to the store and buy practically every new game that comes out, but I've been pretty good about it.
After about a year-plus of relative inactivity, I'm ready to rejoin the Dtoid Army and hang out online with the greatest group of people on the Internet. You didn't really think I would disappear forever, did you?

- Re: Do you think that Destructoid hates the Wii?
I think you'll recall that I too, used to defend the Wii on the front page, Jonathan, but I also became disillusioned with it over time.
The Wii was heralded as the console to shift the paradigm of gaming, and usher it into a new era. I'm not real sure it did that, and Nintendo managed to push us -- the lifelong faithful -- aside in the process.
How can I/we be expected to purchase games on the Wii, when their counterparts are so much better on the PS3 or 360? We're not talking minor variations here; it's painfully obvious. Outside of first-party games (which Nintendo can only crank out so many of), the Wii's lineup is abysmal.
I just call it as I see it. ... view replies

- Re: PS3 called a 'flop' as Sony continues to take a battering in the press
There is nothing mediocre about the PS3's gaming library. That argument died a long time ago. As far as I'm concerned, it's equal to the Xbox 360 in every way, except Xbox Live integration. If anybody's lacking this gen, it's Nintendo.
Heck, even the games that have the same name -- and should be the same games-- are different (due to the disparage in power compared to the other two). Nobody's giving them any slack about that, and Nintendo is #1.

- Re: Why the new Prince of Persia sucks
I fall into the category of "people that love the game," but even I can see it's weaknesses.
For starters, it's hard to understand why the Prince needs to do anything, considering the fact that she can fly. She could pretty much just grab his hand, and float him from orb to glowing orb --- Peter Pan style -- and drop him off momentarily to fight some monster.
She's likeable, but I think that's because she reminds everyone of Natalie Portman. That, and she does the mystical sexy speak throughout the game. That always drives us nerds crazy. ... view replies
