I love tall sexy women. I'm a short-arse too, so I'd be lucky to find one seeing as chicks like taller guys
You'd like that amazon model woman then. She's like 7ft.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Smart strategy involves not discussing the price of your product, especially if that price is high, when your first priority is to build hype and interest in the machine itself. Else you risk undoing your work with moronic "second job" $599 shit.

I don't see why he would be, he isn't really into Nintendo related news

My sentiments exactly. Well I'm not sold on launch for sure, it'll depend on the launch games, but I'm pretty keen for it
The reds are going to blow a 12 point lead here. Seriously this season is just a wrote off

As long as there are brands, there will be brand warriors. Doesn't matter what type of product.
Which is terribly sad. A product can't just be a choice or a preference these days, no, it has to be choosing a side that has to be defended, whilst assaulting those who didn't pick your 'side'.
It's shameful that, from what I can see, people are using what they own as a part of their identity. You are what your own. Some people seem to believe that or judge people based on it. This goes far beyond expressing an opinion.
Of course, not everyone is like this. Some will behave like it in a jovial, mocking, or satirical way, which is perfectly fine. Some don't do it at all.
Maybe I've been hanging out on the Internet for far too long (though I have seen this type of behavior frequently outside it), but this sure seems to be the case for a multitude of things. It occurs to varying degrees everywhere and it's pretty sickening to listen to.

I think its always been a thing. Like ford/holden or Pc/Mac. For some reason people take great pride in their corporate trappings.
Hey now, I'm not part of any console wars, no sir.
Kinda shows how uninteresting most Sony mascots are. That is to say, they don't really have mascots because only Nintendo bothers with having mascots anymore.
kinda wish it was a third person shooter or something. One thing that wasn't just, our competitor made money making a game so were going to visually make it identical at a glance.
I think it always has to some degree also. Now it seems more prevalent and obnoxious. Maybe I've just noticed it more recently.
My days on the school playground defending the honour of Sega and Ford suggest it has been around for at least 30 years. Probably a few million more than that, too. It's like sport allegiences.
They've been copying the 'Doomed' thing lately with Vita...
Also I spent today playing OOT. Up to the fire temple and enjoying it immensely. Still don't know how to rescue all the gorons though.
Oh shit, thread link? I love fanboy wars.
Me too! We weren't separated at birth, were we? Same age (I think), Ford and Sega diehards. We would've ruled our playground if we were in the same year level.
Oh, I am not saying this is a new thing at all. I'm saying it's gotten worse. Like people can form a dislike for you solely based on your choice of XX (among other things).
The other part that I'm seeing is people using brands they like as part of their identity. Instead of being a hobbyist photographer who likes cycling, a person might describe themselves as a Nikon shooter who likes riding Giant bicycles, accept no substitutes.
Its like religion based on actually existing things.
Man, check out the Forza vs GT thread. Shit got BRUTAL.
I don't go near Gaming as a whole because of that reason (and it doesn't interest me), it's a cesspool.

Thinking about it I don't think it is worse. As bad as ever, for sure, but I think it's always been bad.
Cola wars, sneaker wars, I assume the pc vs apple wars in the 80s had a name too.
People have been slapping logos on their stuff for ages.

I thought I was older than you, but I could be mistaken. Webber will complete the circle, anyway.
Yeah, I think allegience to corporations may have become more entrenched...
as religion and other traditional allegiences fade.
In the specific, I think part of it might be that today Nintendo had an investor meeting so a lot of Nintendo fans were roused from slumber temporarily, and the Playstation All-Stars thread is not only a huge fan-based product but also has so much dang similarity to Smash Bros.
Like flags and religious symbols. At least we're not killing each other over consoles. There's no way it's gotten worse, the internet just concentrates it. I sway between being disgusted by it and thinking it's harmless and hilarious.

I thought someone said something about first person at one point today.
Also Sony have a whole bunch of cool characters that would be fun to beat the shit out of each other with if they have a cool, zany story going on. Make it like a crazy Bugs Bunny movie with no sense being made but just utter fun, like Patapons marching through Ratchet & Clank land or Drake trying to steal the fires of Hades from Kratos.
lol
Just go look at Gaming side ffs! Any hot topic stuff will be first or second page!
Having something tangible to point and laugh at/cry with makes arguments a lot more grounded, or at least obvious that the discussion is ridiculous for at least one party. With religion it really is just ideas floating around in the air that people are trying to nail down and protect with all the fires of a thousand angry otters.
Apple iterate, not innovate.
