Let's not rewrite history, dude. Sure, there were some loudmouth Xtards who would deny, lambast, and otherwise run interference on RROD discussion. But it was out there essentially from day one and grew into a generally accepted fact of life on Xbox 360 long, long before Microsoft ever took that 1 billion dollar charge. "Ya know, things break."

As I recall, there was a surge of pressure from media regarding the issue which forced the company to do something, which would be the extended warranty. Pretty much the only thing they could do, as no one would consider a worldwide system recall a realistic option.

I think I prefer insecure Nintendo fans to insecure Sony fans.

Something about being in last place, I think. Causes panic.

The claim for Crysis came after it was released.  They got it to run on a $900 PC.  As you can tell by using the power of math, $600 is quite a bit less than $900.  Add into it that this game actually looks better than Crysis and you have yourself bow fucking bow bow material.

Oh, I'm not dogging on Crytek's efforts, just saying... I've heard something similar before. And that was indeed long before the game was launched.

Can we keep this to individual dudes? I'm a Sony fan, and my delusions are anything but shameless.

When things look bleak and people believe they are under attack, they can act really irrationally.

Of course, identifying with a multi-billion dollar corporation is irrational in itself.

I don't think Koreans like to be called chinamen.

good thing I'm not talking to koreans then (I was making a generalization there. Of course Koreans aren't Chinese, nor would they like to be called something like that. However, this is EB and we don't really do the PC thing here as long as we don't piss people off. )

I'm really hyped about this game, but they really need to spill the beans on the multiplayer modes in the game. They've been very secretive about what they have planned and i have all sorts of ideas as to what they may be up to and all of them are like VACATION TO BONERTOWN awesome.

gamespy and IGN do a really good job on the PC front. Gamespot is decent for editorial/videos, but their screenshot viewer is awwwful.

You can also get vids of this stuff through gamevideos/gametrailers too.

The reason why PA is so loved in the community is because of Chilld's Play you dumb fucks.

That is cool, as is PAX, but it doesn't stop them from making bad comics and games.  And the only reason I dislike this comic is because all this shit has been said by everyone on forums, except now it has that fucking art style with it that I see every time I open a magazine as some stupid ESRB ad.

Would somebody let Crushed back onto GAF? Please?

Oh come on now, he's just acting the part of monument to hypocrisy. How many pages did that distant war against Amir0x and the unwashed administration of his promised land stretch for?


And what is this thread if not a 4 page distant war against someone somewhere who thinks PA is a valid unbiased news source?

OMG HYPOCRISY :zzz

No one wants to hear about console bias.

this place is like gaf--personal opinion/disagreement drives what people think should get others banned.  they turn around and pull the same shit.  only difference is what group or person is being discussed.

Crushed, I was a big fan of yours while I lurked on gaf for a over a year before finding EB. You had a way of making me laugh while I was killing time at work. I even gave you a shout out on my very first post here on EB. But reading your comments in this thread, resorting to personal attacks..... c'mon mayne.  :wag

This isn't supposed to be the centralized, definitive video game news board. It's a small community where people like it when everyone else gets their jokes. Nobody really wants to be reading lengthy bitch threads about who knows what. Thus, leper

the sony panel made plenty of sense. That guy said at the beginning of the sony conference he was stressed. shit, at the beginning he even admitted that sony has done nothing but fuck up recently and that their conference has to prove they've been working on shit.

plus, the dude didn't even sound like he wanted to be there.
