I JUST had my brain broken.

There's apparently some kind of fanboy war between people who love the XBox and the ones who adore the PlayStation. To be honest, I don't care. I was recently brought up to speed a little bit on the subject by Penny Arcade.

They link to a negative review of a PS3 game...Which is where my brain was broken

Did you watch the video review they linked to as well? The one where the guy rated the game 5/5, and fans of the system STILL BITCHED? That broke my brain even more. Bitching about negative reviews, poor form, but I can understandable. Bitching because they said your game was perfect, and that's still not good enough for you? STOP BITCHING ALREADY.

I was just about to link to that myself. Man, I couldn't even finish the video... the fanboi- and hater-mail just made me want to puke.

Fanboi/hater-mail I can understand - I don't agree with it, but I can understand the underlying frustration/feelings that generate that behavior. But when you're bitching because something got a perfect score, and that's still not good enough for you, that's just a case where you'll never, ever, ever be happy. That's the point where I flat out stop listening, and decide that poking my eyes out with a sharp stick constitutes more fun, because at least it'd be productive for SOME definition of productive.

Heh, a guy I know around here is a total Sony fanboy, and owns up to it. Loathes the 360. When we play Street Fighter, he gripes that we paid 15 bucks for the 360 version instead of $400+ to run it on PS3. Which must drive him nuts, since he doesn't like lugging his console around, and everyone else is set up to play on 360, so.

We enjoy egging him on by discussing how great X system is that competed against a Sony machine. The sheer annoyance it gets from him is worth it.

Which all reminds me of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7PhJp3ciRQ

what the fuck.

no, srsly. what the fuck.

[ariock]

I considered deleting vectorb's comment due to the video, but didn't. I'm still not sure I made the right decision. :/

But yeah. What the fuck. I don't want to hate G4, because I like one of the people who works there, but yeah... The idiotic frat-boy douchebaggery they all-too-often exhibit seriously gets on my nerves.

Blech.

[entelein]

I get it as satire, but man. It just doesn't work on a whole mess of other levels. Esp. the woman they chose to represent the PS3. She maintains the comedy, but eh.

Besides. The PS3 controllers now have rumble, so there is definitely vibration.

I am glad you didn't delete it.

yeah i ran across that this morning, had much the same reaction. whee!

The fanboy wars have been raging ever since a company put out a console that played something besides Pong.

I actually don;t recall encountering one until the Neo Geo.
