Want to know something funny about the Galaxy vs. Sunshine thread? It came along after several Halo 2 vs. Halo 3 graphic comparison threads in which almost nobody saw anything wrong but the moment I posted the same thing about Super Mario Galaxy suddenly many people were angry. Add to that the fact that I was just reporting on a video on Gametrailers.com that was starting to get a lot of attention. |
All of those threads did have something legitimate behind them. I had never played Mario Sunshine and was surprised at how great it looks. Sony deserves almost as much credit as Nintendo for what video games are today (much better at allowing mature themed games on their consoles, as a developer I think they encourage more creativity too). MS has helped bridge the console and PC market too.
Nintendo alienating the core gamer IS a concern whether or not you guys believe it. I am not going as far to say that Ratchet and Clank is better than SMG, but it is a damn good game, one that I would recommend to just about anyone with a PS3.
The Halo 2 vs. Halo 3 threads definitely happened too. This website does need some non-Wii-centric opinions to help balance it out. Its not like the Wii people don't post anything negative about MS or Sony once they here it. People just need to lighten up.
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
