Game Industry? Annoying!
Just too many things to cover them all, but lets give it a shot.
First off, and most important of course, this Wired guy stole my words! From my post
If you're having a good time with whatever MMORPG you're currently playing (just resubbed DAOC myself), don't read the official game forums.
That doesn't even take into account the title of the post: "Having fun with your MMORPG? Then don’t read the official forums." And now from his post:
If you play an online game that you enjoy, there’s one surefire way to spoil the experience: read the forums on the official site.
Bastards! Ok, not really. Because it's too damn easy to come to that conclusion. Go read the article though, it's pretty funny when he gets past stealing my thoughts and gets into defining the different kinds of forum posters.
Next? Sony. Dear god, Sony. Why must you continue to be so smarmy with us?
I would like my car to fly and make me breakfast, but that's an unrealistic expectation. We've reported problems on only 200 of the 8000 PlayStation 1 and 2 games. I would challenge the average consumer to say that there are significant problems with any of the games in their library.

Do you have a timeframe for overtaking Xbox 360?
The minute we exceed their production and distribution [capabilities].
Do we not have feelings? Do we not bleed if you prick us? Are we not more than potential money bags to be given to you at every turn? Oh right, nm. We don't even need to go into the number of PS3s actually shipped compared to the number promised. Or the problems people are having with them. We're your personal cum toys and we, the consumer, apparently like it that way. Continue to spew.

Speaking of the consumer, the customer, the gamer. What is wrong with you! Why do you put up with this shit! Why do you bow down to Sony and stand in the mother fucking rain/snow/heat for days on days to get a console that is releasing with 11 games. Games that are pretty much the suck and nothing stand out, even for a launch title. You're killing me. Literally, I'm over here slowly dying from your stupidity and lack of patience. Sure, it's fun to be a geek, fun to geek over things, to have the latest and the greatest, etc, but don't you have any pride? When someone tells me I can't have the latest system unless I buy a TV to go with it, I tell them to go hell. You're completely effing insane, you, the 1.4k Walmart bundle purchaser, the 11 game bundle purchaser, the impatient so I don't mind getting bent over consumer. What's next? You stupid human tricks for a chance at a PS3?
Or, conversely, you swear off the PS3 to get a $7500 gaming system. Ugh.
Gamers; we're one fucked up bunch of obsessive compulsive peoples. Damn our eyes!
What Would Matt Do: I would have some self respect and pride already. Just for a change.
