And I didn't know about that Michael Eric Dyson quote until today. I've heard lots of grumblings about how Obama isn't addressing "black problems" and he isn't helping blacks with the economy or whatever. I seem to remember Obama being elected president of the United States, not just of black people.

Seems like many black intellectual types are almost having just as hard a time processing Obama's election as some of the far right folks who've blown gaskets.

I haven't read any of West's books, but I know people who swear by his early stuff.

At this point, though, he really seems to believe his own hype.  Apparently he asked one of his wives whether she wanted to be "the first lady of black America."  Yeesh.

I can't. My mom is a big fan of that joker. She also listens to the Tom Joyner Morning Show. She forced me to go to one of his events that cater to black people and his thoughts of an Obama nation.

I slept through most of it.

That's worse than the Ubi thread. Apparently, all these big publishers are willfully sabotaging their own products in some effort to sabotage the Wii. I'm pretty sure I heard the same thing about 3rd parties on Gamecube.

yeah, I'm trying to get school work done (which usually means I sit at my computer and waste time on gaf instead of working or playing a game) and I read some of that thread.

best post:
Quote from: kittonwy
Why would a core gamer not buy an HD console to play AAA blockbuster games from third-party publishers? As a "core gamer" I'm not even interested in Silent Hill wii when there are so many gems this holiday season, heck as a Silent Hill fan I'm not even interested in games made by fucking Climax. I can understand if you're into Nintendo brand Mario/Zelda games and bought a wii and are hoping for a third-party publisher to support your console with a blockbuster game but then if you're heavily into third-party blockbuster games in the first place, then you probably got the wrong console.

It's a double burn when you're getting told by someone who acts like a cat.

and that "Nintendo fans only like Nintendo, not video games" saying would work here.

this is the best thing that has come out of this gen so far  :lol

them, along with the sony fans are insane as fuck.

360 fans are also messed up but they are a small group when it comes to general defending and the insanity tends to happen with fans of specific 360 games (eg Halo fans).

Nintards can't get it through their head that it would cost companies more to downgrade games for the Wii than it would to focus exclusively on the PS3/360/PC.  Does anyone think that the cost of porting Batman AA or Bioshock to the Wii would be made up for if they even sold an extra 500,000 copies? ???

Many companies were gobbled up by larger entities instead of simply going belly up, but the system that is in place is currently unsustainable. I predicted, as was apparent by the end of last generation, that you'd see the industry consolidate itself - and that's exactly what happened.

But when projects now costs hundreds of millions of dollars, all it takes is one or two under performing titles (or worse) to threaten the financial stability of an entire company. The industry has kept driving development costs up and fragmenting its consumer base, and neither are good long-term strategies.

I can understand if they only had their one console and were content with it.  If they appreciated what they had and were happy with it, then that would be fine.  But they bitch and whine about it's not fair that the Wii doesn't get all the games.  It all is crazy since there are three other platforms to play these games on.

He should have prayed to Thor.

The praying aspect is shocking, but what's even more shocking is that he couldn't afford a 300 dollar bill and instead, sat in a chair for 8 months and prayed instead of trying to find work.

"Webb says she has no regrets about leaving him in that recliner."

I guess if you can't afford general healthcare, you can't afford mental care either. I'd like to think that this is the reason for the conditions of some people, but I don't know, I think "easy living" like a fast food and sit down occupation combo is typically more to blame. Of course, blaming fast food is also lame, so I guess it's back to the individual. I just don't get it.

I also think it would have made for a pretty awful message to preach had he been miraculously healed after sitting down in his own waste for eight months.

Sounds like the article writer is butthurt that his Gamerscore was so low that he didn't like being considered a "noob". So Trophies come out, he's able to ride the first wave and everythings ok.

Bitch wants rubberbanding gamerscores :punch

But that aside, I love how he ends the article by calling both of them shitty, useless systems and yet midway down he goes on about PS3 Trophies and how cool its represented in levels.

I dunno.  The reason I don't care about my X360 gamerscore is because I see dudes like demi at 100k and I know I'll never have a chance to catch up.  So the number means nothing other than no matter what it goes to it'll be lower than most of the people on my friend list.

I like the actual achievements on X360 just like I enjoy them on PS3 and Steam for the incentives to do oddball stuff and get a little pat on the back.  I just don't care for the "gamerscore" because like he says the gaps are too big.  You're never in back/forth competition with friends like you would be on a leaderboard.  Plus it leads to stupid shit like playing Avatar for the 1000 points even though you'd never touch the game otherwise.

Trophies have fucked up the once easy and convenient save back-up of the PS3, so fuck them. I like the idea of rewards for skills, like the skillpoints in the Ratchet games, which actually reward you with concept art, costumes and such. Gamerscore is a bit of a drug, but it sometimes feels like a crutch, giving developers a convenient but dumb way to reward players for various stunts.

Uh, you guys have it completely wrong in all ways. I'm well aware people have upwards to 300k gamerscore. I'm not playing to pass them.

I simply like achievements. What's so difficult to understand?

Do you cause an argument when someone says they like shoving penises in assholes? When they say they like Jesus Christ? When they prefer Mustard over Ketchup? Maybe people simply LIKE that stuff. It's part of gaming as much as high scores are. I like to complete my games.

I'll even play bad games too like Dragon Age. Maybe I'm just more unbiased and impartial than you all realise.

btw, I didnt read that article. I don't care to listen to some loser cry over something that doesnt affect him or anyone around him.

Achievements and Gamerscore make perfect sense to me.  Why not have something to show for the hours you spent putting into the game or that you did x, y, or z that was above and beyond what the game expected you to do?

I only have 2200 points.  I'm not cut out to be an achievement whore.

Oh and also from the last page, Nintards want major third party games on their system as kind of a :smug conquering of both hardware and software.  They bought all in to the concept of the Blue Ocean Strategy and expected that it should be a no brainer to make several large scale games for the system.  Nintendo fans wanted soccer moms and grandmas to buy it but get pissy when third parties make games that soccer moms and grandmas would play (and would buy - Jillian Michaels Fitness has been on the charts, although bubbling under, for several months now.  Crap like The Conduit has burned out quicker)  Nintendo fans seem to both love and hate the new demographics brought to the Wii fold.

I dun get why they bitch either.  Most of them only really intend to buy Nintendo published games or games that you'd expect Nintendo to make.  Most of them have no intentions of buying a Resident Evil or even attempts to make decent Wii versions of ambitious upstart franchises (Dead Space).  The reason why they want them to come is just so they can make the :smug face or as fodder for the console wars.  Nintendo fans had the opportunity to buy a lot of good third party titles in the GC days and unsurprisingly, they never bought it unless it was exclusive (at first, once it was going to PS2, it was tainted) to the GC platform.

I really don't care that much about achievements and I certainly wouldn't play a bad game just to get more.

Achievements and trophies are both fine.  The thing Steam does is terrible.  I see messages pop up and I have no idea what goals I'm supposed to have or anything really.  I don't really care about comparing my grand total to others; for me it's just about game to game if it has interesting enough goals to go after.

What's funny is how every group thinks achievements suck until they get them. Ps3 owners said achievements were stupid until they got them. PC users said achievements were stupid. Until Steam or World of Warcraft implemented them. Funny how that works.

The way Microsoft handled the 360's online features and capabilities was nothing short of brilliant.

The Theory of Darwinism :lol

I guess those who support the scripture of E=MC2 are filthy infidel believers of Einsteinism.

Himuro, did you know that earthquakes are heavy? But why is Earth still afloat? I submit to you that The Theory of Darwinism has just been annihilated.
