Sony changed video games for the better, so I don't know why they catch so much flack. I don't think the PS1 or PS2 generation would have been as good if Nintendo or Microsoft would have led it by the reins. Everyone, particularly third party developers and gamers looking for variety, benefited. Some of you may not want to admit it, but the Sony gaming division is open to supporting more innovative ideas than Microsoft or Nintendo (content wise compared to Nintendo since they have changed the actual gameplay methods with the Wii mote). Last generation, Microsoft did FPS's right on the XBox and a few other things, GameCube really didn't shine anywhere except for Smash Brothers and Pikmin, and the PS2 did just about everything except FPS's right. In my opinion, Sony is the best thing that ever happened to gaming.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
