No. Because wherever you live, this does not exist.

o NOEEEESSS.

Damn those terrorists!

Summa needs to lay off the Digg. That shit will mess with your brain.

Yeah, I wouldn't exactly call Digg an established news source. Its more of a medium for internet sensationalism. Granted, I love Digg as much as the next guy, anything that that generates any sort of buzz is bound to sky-rocket its way to the top Digg Top Stories list. Thats just the way things work.

Digg may be good for seeing pictures of kids who get stuck inside crane games, slow motion videos of bullets passing through watermelons, fierce fights between atheists and the religious, a plethora of optical illusions, store cameras of stupid criminals, and anything anti-internet explorer, but a reliable source for video game news it is not.

Then again, thats why we have gamer blogs, right? (I'll ignore the fact that it so happens every now and then I see a blog entry pop up on many a game blog directly as a result of digg.)

Summa it's obvious, you're bored you need a new hobby.
Why don't you post about that new Wii rumour, its bigger news than this.

"I AM condoning drug use and I'm still totally lost."
LOL!

I think the real issue here is why are things sold in boxes still? Shouldn't there be something cooler and more revolusionary? I mean come on the box is so late 1840's

Waff1e- I love your Papa Lazarou avatar! That is one of my favorite TV shows ever! Red Dwarf and MST3K beat it out. Maybe Venture Bros.
Cheers!

Summa: Thanks for making us all look like a bunch of asshats, lolz.

Quote of a digg comment: "However Summa is a hairy mole on Destructoid's otherwise perfect ass."

lol

Ive kept all my old software boxes and such, does that make me a huge terrorist?

Would that be your unused Wii that you're too chicken to sell for charity?

If you think I'm going to forget that every time you feel the need to badmouth the system, you're gravely mistaken. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who feels this way. Believe me, it's not that I'm a fanboy of any kind (I'll gladly post a pic of the systems I own as proof) but I'm a fan of decent journalism from journalists. I'm hoping against hope that one day, Summa will wake the hell up. He's still bitter about the incident wherein he kept people up at night about some "amazing" Nintendo news and pulled the ol' bait-and-switch when it was absolutely meaningless news (well, not totally meaningless, but nothing worth staying up for) and was fired for being an idiot. Then he went and badmouthed his former employer in a very public forum - the biggest no-no in the professional world. It wasn't necessarily the bait-and-switch that made me lose respect for him. It was the aftermath, and the painfully-transparent attempts at saying, "No, I'm not anti-Nintendo. See?" with "stories" like this. Then there was the retarded column he did for the Metro in New York where he said that nintendo's only way to survive was to ally itself with Apple.

Basically, Robert Summa is being paid to do what thousands of visitors to this site - myself included - could do, but do a far worse job at it. I know I'm not the only one who's been asking for a filter to get rid of Summa's immature whining. Thankfully, the more BS like this he puts out there, the greater the backlash. D'toid, you know what to do.

Well said bassbeast

oh stfu all of you who are just ranting her (i'm looking at you bassbeast and shadowxor)... can't you guys just take it the way he's saying it? it's just for fun! c'mon, get a frickin sense of humor!!

@ Snaileb:

Because Summa isn't just a blogger. His "job" is to be a journalist, and he's paid to do this on a professional level. He's not freelance either - he pointed this out earlier - but he's on staff with professional publications. This isn't the "Nintendo universe" as I've called him on other bullshit posts as well that badmouth other things. The only reason that Summa is called repeatedly on his Nintendo-bashing is because

a) it is so prevalent, and
b) it doesn't make any sense.

Oftentimes, Summa's rambling is filler for the site, as this post was. The "joke" here was completely lost, because there is no joke.

If you want even more fun, it's easily-provable that Summa himself is a Sony fanboy. I can find comments he did on Kotaku that were quite strong about this, and even his reply to a post from Niero about getting a PS3 had a dig at the Wii. From someone who isn't "just another blogger" it's something to consider.

Summa's job is to find us interesting things in the ecumenical gaming universe that the mainstream press might miss, as well as the most important gaming news events of the day. The job is not to be an arrogant, insufferable douche with a hard-on for a company and taking every opportunity to be a smart-ass when it's not warranted. Remember, Summa deals with Golin Harris, Nintendo's PR reps, likely on a daily basis. Do you think he says to them, "I think the Wii is weaksauce and isn't the future of gaming?" Not a bloody chance. He's very polite to them, as that how the free shit train keeps a-rollin' through the station.

This is why I've been trying to get Summa to sell his Wii for charity. My reasoning is simple: Summa doesn't want it - that's been made clear - and he didn't pay any real money for it. There are a number of people out there who would be more than happy to have his Wii, and why not benefit a charity to be a nice guy? Because he won't part with his free shit. No way. And that's the saddest part.

Yeah, why's everybody gotta be hatin'?

summa just hates bandwagons he didn't get on in time. although long-winded, bassbeast has a point. if you hate it so much why don't you quit whining and give it away? people hate sony because they started being arrogant little bitches, and now they are getting what they deserve. the ps3 was released way too early imo

Bassbeast, will you quit it already with your damn charity thing. Being that he is actually a gaming journalist, he kind of needs that Wii to, oh I don't know, do his job. You know this too, so of course you know he won't be getting rid of it. So, please just drop this crap about him not taking you up on your ridiculous little challenge, because you're right, it's not going to happen.

yes sir (continues playing Mario 2.5D

^ best avatar ever. And agreed.

...well.. how long have you been posting Alien? Also... why weren't you accepting my Gears invitation??

I swear to god I added 10 people on my friends list from D'toid and not one has played a good game of gears with me yet. This indeed is a disturbing universe.

Gears sucks! Worst controls ever!

How's that for flame bait?

lol I'll agree. I love Gears, and, I'll whoop your ass. I already have an achievement for killing 100 people with internet lag.
