Lately I've been reading posts about graphics, framerates, processor speeds, etc. I find myself being more and more irritated by how some fanboys classify the console based physical attributes. I never figured out what bugged me so much by that until recently.

Graphic Whores are superficial guys that only care about looks over substance. These same guys are the ones who chase the girl who looks the prettiest or has the biggest chest. They don't care about the substance behind the looks. Great looks are fine to be sure, but what has she got for personality? They don't care. She's good looking and that's what counts!

Gamplay is the personality of a game. It's also what makes a great relationship work. It's why ugly people are able to find mates and it's why pretty people are able to stay together over time when their looks deteriorate with age.

Gameplay makes the game, it always has and it always will. Grahpics and all other physcial attributes are a BONUS, not a requirement.

I think Graphic Whore syndrome is not limited to video games. I think it's in your personality. It spills over to everyday life in other areas. If you only care about games for graphics then you probably like the hottest sports cars, the best HD TV sets, the prettiest girls, etc. I feel sorry for you guys, really. You have no idea what you are missing out on in life. Dig a little deeper sometimes and you'll be surprised at what you find!

As you might have guessed I own a Wii. I'm also happily married, and I'm a guy. I believer however, that I own the Wii BECAUSE of the way I feel. I don't feel that way BECAUSE I own a Wii. Can you graphic whores say that?

Are you married TO the wii?



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD
