I see this happening as well. Damn, this thread went to shit in the 5 hours I was not here...

I don't agree. It's been a long time since I've seen an old fashioned, honest to goodness LIST WARZ. Keep it up, guys!

my grocery list is coming up next. Its gonna be brutal, so stick around. 

It's probably full of sequels. No wonder your diet is in decline YOY... people are losing interest!

Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to:

- a kumquat (I've never had one before!)

- Fruity Pebbles (kids love it, and I haven't had any in at least a couple of years now, so this will be sort of a reboot)

- Metamucil (for the mature audience)

- an old favorite or two

- new, unannounced foods!


Final French Fry 7 remake confirmed

Console rts games are abysmal. No thanks on this one. And I like that you say they can make games on ps3 as If that would entice me to a crappy console rts. 

Ms owns rare, they control them. And thus they assume responsibility for the studios success and failures. And MS made what was once a great company into someone who produces shovelware and makes avatar clothes.

Of course it entices you. You are so in love with your PS3 you post negative things in every 360 thread you can find.

Shovelware is one of those words that have lost all meaning. You play a role in that. Rare was great in the 16 bit days and had a lot of luck in the 64 bit days. Those Avatar clothes are probably more profitable than most games. Cheap to produce and they've sold many

I actually just hate MS and the 360. Its just coincidence that I like sony as well. And I mostly play on PC anyway so its not like the console pissing war is a big deal to me. But it is interesting.

So then why are you hanging out in the Microsoft forum?  Seems to me your only reason to be here is to post negative stuff about the company you hate.

Its because you don't want to comprehend. I'm not bitching about there spending because I have a stake in their finances. I'm bitching because they're spending all this money on Kinect and let their studios wither on the vine and not make any games. 

They aren't just spending this money on the Kinect. They are spending all this money rebranding the 360. Hence, this isn't just a Kinect marketing campaign. This is a huge marketing campaign for the Xbox 360. Clearly this rebranding hasn't hurt the 360. Its been topping the charts for months.

You need to stop being so concerned about Rare and Ensemble. You are only focused on MS's failures and not their successes.

I swear, MS just keeps making Sony looking good right about now...MS had let them get the edge up in graphics time & time again ever since Uncharted 2, they don't have any good exclusives outside of Gears Of War 3 (which won't come out until late next year), & instead of them focusing on those two things alone to try to match Sony, they decided to spend half a billion on advertising this garbage...

I don't know what's going through their heads right now...I just don't. Looks like they need someone smarter like myself to come in & shape them up. Seriously.

I believe you hate MS, but I don't believe your preference of Sony is a coincidence.

The console war pissing seems to be a very big deal to you. I see you bashing the 360 all the time.

Sorry. Nobody gives a shit about the graphics wars. No game Micorsoft could ever make has the potential to sell as many systems or make as much money as this. There's no way it'll fail with this kind of exposure. I made a thread after E3 2009 that Kinect (then Natal) would put the 360 on top on a weekly basis for the remainder of the generation. With the position the Wii is currently in and now seeing this, I think my crazy prediction may just become reality.

I didn't read anything in this thread, but

@ thread-title )

so that's why the 360 Kinect bundle shows an unholy cross huh?
