I always understood console wars pretty much to be boiled down to "I picked console X and not only do I not want to be wrong about dropping $500+ on X, I can't afford consoles Y and Z so I want them to fail so all the publishers flock to X for their best games"

Stupid shit

 

[Sanjuro]

are you trying to devalue my experience to justify your purchase?

Your experience was already devalued when you bought "Insert Your Console Here".

 

[zroid]

fun things are fun.

Video games aren't supposed to be fun. Get outta here.

how dare you, im going to spend the afternoon counting pixels to deface your argument.

youre part of the problem.

I think the only console which my "dislike" has held up a tad is the Nintendo Wii U. I just got one a few weeks ago for a great deal. My only issue is Nintendo's ideals. They are by far the least progressive company when it comes to their primary console.

Still, there is fun to be had.

 

[Razorskin]

I've been watching Rock'em Sock'em videos for the past couple of days and it's just full of nostalgia for me. It has also allowed me to hone up on my Cherry-isms.

I can see a legitimate gripe about whether or not a console advances/doesn't advance the industry. However I think most debate is of the petty variety.

 

[zroid]

I heard about Chris Kluwe suing the Minnesota Vikings. Good for him tbh. The NFL shouldn't be allowed to get away with the shit they pulled on him.

But I read it on NeoGAF so it must be true! ヽ(`⌒´&#12513ノ

The online and the method about handling their digital content are the obvious glaring holes. Their UI and the forced usage of the gamepad are more petty.

Wii U Pro Controller is possibly one of my favorite controllers I've ever held. Why can't I use it on the settings menu!?

Same reason you need to have a Wii Mote to use the Wii's menu. I just don't know the reason.

 

[KingHenrik30]

I've pretty munched owned every major console since the NES. This time I decided I'm only buying 1 and it's quite freeing. Also I need to grow up.

Nintendo was nice enough to let me re-download my Wii games from an old console. What they didn't tell me is my console was then rendered useless afterward, until I raided a friend's closets and procured a OG Wii remote.

No you don't.

Stupid shit

I didn't know console wars existed until halfway into the PS2/GC/Xbox generation. I had no clue that the PS2 was outselling the other two combined by a ridiculous margin... In fact, if I never went to the gaming side, I would never know that the Wii U is a "failure" sales-wise. I would just see it as my favorite console since the N64 and leave it at that.

Shit, you mean Mario 3D World only sold 215,000 copies the first month? I guess it wasn't fun, after all...

I've always had one, I never have time to play many games. Even when I was a kid the most I got was an hour a day.

Took me nearly a full year to beat FFX lol.

I guess I'm not counting handhelds.

You get laid more being Carlton the Bear than being Phil Kessel.

Kessel has a girlfriend and Bozak. He's a good American boy who has values and would never cheat on her. Not like Lupul who gets 5 girls a night just by existing.

 

[Red_Man]

Is there photo evidence of Kessel's "girlfriend"?

 

[zroid]

Bozak is the only girlfriend Kessel needs

You either had a Super Nintendo or a Genesis. You told those Sega kids that Blast Processing was bullshit and they fired back that Sega Does What Nintendon't

gamecube and dreamcast still rank above it for me but the wii u is climbing up the list in a hurry.

I feel like I've become a better person having owned a Genesis.

I did play Super Nintendo, just got it later in its cycle.

Tough to climb without arms!

Can't begrudge you that... Dreamcast especially had a ridiculous "per game" quality average. And nothing will beat the Grandia 2/Skies of Arcadia Christmas.

I skipped the entire PS2/GC/XBOX gen. Had an N64 and then went PC for a few years. Started buying GC games once the Wii came out (brother got a used GC): it was hard tracking down older rarer games but I'm glad I jumped in when they were still relatively affordable.

Which epic Ducks games do we have to rewatch?

The two epic comebacks are my faves:
Game 6 against Dallas
Down 4 - 0 against the Jets

Very off-topic, but I'm happy about this.

I'm moving from a one bedroom apartment in an awful part of downtown Toronto into a two bedroom condo further north in the city.

The one great thing about living downtown was being able to walk to work. It will be tough to sacrifice that. My new commute will be like this: 5-min drive to the Go train station, and from there it's 45 mins to get to work (from entering the train, to sitting at my work desk).

I'm really excited because everything about my new condo is better than my old downtown apartment. Two sinks in the kitchen instead of just one, etc... (lots of little things like that). And I'll have central AC/HEATING. My old apartment has a loud unit (combination heat/AC) that roars like a jet engine in the living room.

Also, I'm going to live a 5-min walk from my parents and brother. Dem home-cooked meals, lol. It'll be great to hang out with my brother more.

Party at Monty's!!!

Kessel has a girlfriend in Bozak. He's a good American boy who has values and would never cheat on her. Not like Lupul who gets 5 girls a night just by existing.

Fixed.

Ok now I'm kinda interested. Looks good. Skipped NHL for few years now.

Exactly. Puck physics were the last thing they needed to mess around with.

I see this in California from time to time. A few years back I got into a bit of a bar scuffle because I called this dude in a cowboy hat and confederate flag tshirt a piece of shit.

Game 6 did stop the series. Or did it? Tune in to find out

I still think Lehtonen will still steal the series, 2.5 months later
