See you Space Cowboy!

Howdy there! I am a video game enthusiast, you could call me a "hardcore gamer" (although I'm not very fond of that term, it reminds me other labels for groups of people used to demean them like "liberals" and "hippies"). Well now that I am an official "Super Blog Bros" contributor, I have two rants that are perfect that originally posted on my other blog (cue shameless self promotion): www.JesusChristMonkeyBalls.info or as the 'in' people call it, www.jcmb.info.

Reasons why it was dumb that you bought a Xbox 360
"There was only so many Tony hawk games I could play, and thoroughly enjoy. That goes the same with console first person shooters, action rpgs, sidescrollers, madden football's, gran turismos, grand theft autos, fighters. Everytime I play a game that's just a graphical update and tweaking of an older game I spent hundreds of hours playing, it entertains me less. I can't even tell you how many hours we spent in my basement den, playing goldeneye. It was sickening, I almost never want to see it again."

Sony vs. M$ in the battle of your living room, an PC... FIGHT!
"I think SONY should take that idea and run with it. If they want to prevent M$ from taking the living room they should take a public role contributing to the open-source community, despite their rich history of pushing new proprietary hardware onto vendors and consumers. They are billing their new playstation as a fully functioning computer that is cheaper and runs all the hottest new games faster than the family computer. If this is completed with linux powering it they are in a position to make a major change in the world of computing as well as repair their image quite a bit. If SONY does just half as good as they did with the first two playstations it would be a huge blow to m$'s stranglehold on desktop computing."
They might be a slight bit outdated, for instance in the Sony Vs. Microsoft rant, I mentioned that linux was rumored to be installed on a rumored ps3 hardisk, well its been confirmed there will be a linux distrubution installed on the 60GB hardisk packaged in the PS3.

If you hadn't noticed yet, I am clearly not a Microsoft fan... aaaahh well what can you do?
