I downplayed every thing about the system and criticised it so much that he soon traded it in for a Gameboy Advance, Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Goku, and Castlevania. To this day, I feel bad about that. I even bought him a 360 for Christmas 2011. Hope it makes up for my being an asshole. :( |
You're a totall asshole. Why would you do that if he idolized you so much?

I was a console fanboy. Didn't have an Xbox so I trash talked it. Fast forward to 2007 and Xbox 360 was my favorite console. He was about 11 or 12, at the time. I don't know what got into me. We were at his grandmother's house on Christmas (where everybody in their family goes for Christmas) and I saw him open up the box. Still remember the pic of him holding the console over his head like he was Link and he just discovered the Tri Force. When we were on our own, I suddenly went into "Hater Mode".
- "PS2 was better"
- "I don't like the controler"
- "The graphics are kinda blurry"
- "I want to play Final Fantasy"
- "I don't really like first person games"
- "It's kinda big, isn't it?"
I was even the guy that connected it to the TV in the bedroom that day. Like I said, I was an asshole. We're still close and I still remind him of that incident and I still feel bad about it.
