Gaming Geekdom

[seorgia]

I'm a self proclaimed gamer. I have more consoles then I know what to do with. I've enough games to build a small house. I am also unhappy. What the fuck did you do to my X-play? It is all weird looking now and my favorite opening is gone! Fuck you all, change it back! Okay well I like that they have more people on talking but otherwise it just annoys me. But what ever. I was watching it today and they were talking about the PS3. Now I agree with much of what the people on there were saying. The PS3 has been out for a LONG time in tech time. It is still not doing well and to be honest I think I know only one person who owns one. Compared to the Wii and the Xbox360 the PS3 is dying a slow lingering death. This is damned annoying because I LOVE my PS2. There are so many good games on there I cannot count the number of hours I have lost to it. How do you fuck up so badly on the new system? Come on Sony did you learn nothing from Nintendo's fuck ups? Give us something good to play. Give us some of our old favorites. Give us some new favorites. Actually I don't care what you give us because the system has more issues then a first year med student. I feel they were trying to do something amazing but they dropped the bloody ball. The price is too high, the system eats the world's power supply, and none of the games are really up to snuff yet. Fix it damn you!

Anyhow I'm loving my new 360 though. It is like a little warm plastic white piece of heaven. LOL I was playing more Rock Band the other night with Reid, Dan and Wyatt. I cannot believe how much fun that game is and let us not forget my Lego Star Wars addiction. I've actually been avoiding some of the reviews of new things coming out so I don't stay locked in my room all day with my new toys. I'm sure my Wii is beginning to feel jealous though. Not to mention the other systems. *pets them* I love you all in different ways. I will come back to you my sweets. As soon as I finish pwning Darth Vader...

On the RPG front, I can't wait for classes to start and with it Exalted and Vampire. I'm not sure if we are switching over to 2nd Edition Exalted or not. I so want to make a Lunar. It is all Wyatt's fault and Kibble's too. Them and their damned books. Mmmmm RPG.

I've been staying off MMO's for a while. Seriously don't have the time with everything else. I'm sure I devote too much time to the playing, talking, and enjoyment of modern gaming. I addicted Shanti to Sims2 recently. The newest expansion pack is out like next month. Oh no they have another game of the wonderful Sims coming out *whimpers*. Oh no there is a free download preview...

As for why I'm awake at four in the morning... yeah about that sleeping a normal cycle thing. I can't seem to stay awake during the day anymore. I keep falling asleep in weird places and at weird times. I managed to get some of what I was supposed to do done today but not all and that just isn't acceptable. Mika went to the vet. She is locked up right now so she will pee into a pan and I can collect it. Ahh the wonders of cat mommydom.

Tomorrow is my birthday. I need to clean the house today and get the cake done/mostly done. I also need to figure out times of people coming and finish picking the menu. I think I know what want. Anyhow I'm looking forward to it all.

How do you fuck up so badly on the new system?

Two words: price point ... like you said.

I can't wait for my Rifts campaign to get going. Character gen is the first weekend in February and then I'll be running a monthly game.

Happy Birthday! in case, I don't make it over there.

I have been looking at systems for my addiction, fps games, and I think if I go with one, it will be 360, as I will be able to play the older games in the titles I like (Medal of Honor, Call of Duty). As a military history geek, these are the type of games I play.

They shouldn't have released it so quickly after PS2, though I suppose in Game System making time it's not that long...

I don't like having my hand 'forced' to dish out cash. I don't play that many games so it doesn't hit me that hard (and it is possible to live without), but when the new systems come out, the companies turn their backs on the old ones in terms of releases. Eventually anyone who wants the latest in games has to pony up or fall behind. (At least you can play the old games on the new systems these days...)
They're doing the same thing with Adobe software, lately, with similar release time annoyance between the CS's.
I'm also pissed because a movie company just switched entirely to BlueRay. I guess DVD and DVD players will be going the way of the VHS...

Blu-ray & DVD

Yeah, sooner or later they will. Bear in mind the high def. format war is still in high gear, though.

I hadn't realized you are a fellow Sims 2 geek!

The best computer game in the history of the world. I'm looking forward to Freetime more than I have any other expansion pack, except maybe Makin' Magic from Sims 1.

More gaming Geekery

I caught this over on BoingBoing and thought it'd amuse.
