Several factors combined to bring you this poor image. 1. P2P game hosting of Modern Warfare 2 (absolutely inexcusable for a game granted such an enormous budget) 2. Comcast internet (inexplicably incapable of hosting well, regardless of security settings) 3. Canon Powershot SX110 IS 4. HOST QUIT RAGE View high resolution

Hey you, lawyer people

Please stop sueing Sony for stuff they didn’t do. Please start sueing Microsoft because they suck. kthxbye

In other news, Amazon/shippin co. failed to follow through for release-date delivery- especially silly considering that retail shops were given the go-ahead to break the the release date a couple days early (in response to smaller retailers breaking the date sans permission).

Not that Call of Duty is only series guilty of selling the same product every year, but this image struck me and it was kind of funny so here it is. The two most recent Call of Duty games both introduced something new. Modern combat (new to COD, anyway) and infantry combat in WWII’s Pacific theater. These aren’t really big changes, though. It’s the same gameplay in a different wrapper. I think this says something about video games in general. They’re like porn. Every year the consumer gets a new installment, feeding on the same basic shoot-and-satisfy principles as last year’s. A small variation is enough to warrant a sequel. Gamers develop a fetish for that multiplayer XP-based ranking system. They play until they tire, and then expect a similar sequel. Games recycle the same concepts and tack on little extras to make this year’s edition groundbreaking. The same model works for adult videos. This year, instead of the delivery guy arriving to deliver an extra large package (as seen in Cum in UPS 3), the pizza man will come with 5 orders of Meatlovers’ Deluxe with mayo on top (Cum in 4: All the Toppings). The graphics will be more photorealistic, and you can custom-paint your condoms. Still, it appeals to the same basic desire: guys shows up at door to fuck. And next year will appeal to that desire too, but again with improved graphics, and maybe social networking integration. Actually, thats not really what I think, but I’m throwing it out there. Opinions?

Hate on MS E3 reflection / it can be fanboy tiem nao?

Microsoft

FAIL. I hated it. I own an Xbox 360. I like it; the 360 is a solid gaming console. If I wanted to merge into the disgusting, lukewarm, cess-pool of empty interaction that is social networking WHILE gaming, I would simply keep my laptop next to me. Certainly, no one will be required to use Twitter and Facebook in conjunction with Xbox. But as a gamer, I’m agitated by the presence of social networking.The rise of the casual gamer has seen the market tailor to a different crowd, and though good games are still being made (defining “good” by older standards), stores are overflowing with mediocre ones. Games that have been made for a new generation of gamers. Microsoft (and certainly Nintendo & Sony) is fully aware of the casual gamer, thus the content of their press conference. Project Natal especially bothered me. It will probably be an advanced Eye Toy gimmick.

Anyway, hate aside, Microsoft had the best presentation technique. Actually, back to the hate- no tech specs for Natal? The press conference was mostly presentation.

Also, combination of all human souls (social networking) + human reproduction metaphors (project Natal? come on…) = NEON GENESIS EVANGELION - Third Impact! When 2015 rolls around and Microsoft uses Xbox to initiate the return to nothing, well, you heard it here first!

Nintendo

Not bad. I don’t own any 7th gen Nintendo consoles, but their line-up looked okay. I’m disapointed at the lack of hardcore titles for the Wii, but the fact that a new Golden Sun is in the works was good to hear.

Sony

I liked their demo of the new motion controller, mostly because the hardware was actually visible. The less-than-professional presentation was heartening for me, as I’d much rather hear about new tech from the guy who works on it. The same goes for the new MGS and GT games, for which Japanese personel were present. Sony gave out immediate goodies, including FFVII and an Uncharted 2 beta (purchase of inFamous required). I feel like Sony sells the best product in terms of hardware, and though they may be trying to jump on the casual bandwagon (the success of which is debatable), they aren’t sacrificing as much in the process. I hate to be a fanboy, but I kind of trust them.

I’m having trouble composing without going wild with fanboy-ism. In fact, I shouldn’t even hit the “Create Post” button, but I just love hitting buttons more than is good for me.

Under $55 Certainly these games are already discounted at other retailers, but Target is willing to knock digits off the standard discounted rate. These games should have been sold a year ago, with the exception of Quantumn of Solace. X-Blades was also available for $30, but I didn&#8217;t think it was worth the lulz. View high resolution
