A wild week eh?
First, a tumultuous launch, raucous and powerful as fans braved BB gun attacks and fisticuffs to lay their hands on the PS3, showing that the hardcore gamers who sip in the absinthe of the Sony brand name chase the rarest fairy of all. And my were they rewarded! Queue heroes of Japan, facing the Marxist raffle system that was sure to placate even the most mannered repressed society on earth, were not so lucky. The mere 80,000 grails stamped for that country were brilliantly cornered by rich business men hiring swarms of Chinese immigrants to infiltrate the line. At one department store, all twenty of the first PS3s went to proud, happy octogenerians who spoke not a whit of Japanese, and gave ecstatic stares when asked what games they were going to buy.
Then, the storm wept itself out, a wink of time passed, and the lines formed again for the Wii, this time with grandmothers instead of gangsters, kids instead of their pushers, and the horizon beamed with hope. People brought goodies and Nintendo paraphenalia out to appease this teletubby crowd, but it was all in vain. As the eleventh hour faded, a man dressed as Mario purchased the first Wii, turned to the press that was broadcasting the perfect launch across the world… and broke into an insipid lullaby that will cement the uncool factor of the Nintendo fanboy for all eternity. So say we all. So say we all.
Yet I must say, as the first launch I hadn't waited in line for something for, I do wish I had at least driven past a line. I would have liked to wait those long morning hours vicariously, and from the comfort of my heated leather seats and loyal crate of In-N-Out offerings. But I think I shall watch this war from afar. I will bide my time. I am, after all, a PC gamer at heart, neither impressed by the graphics of the PS3, nor by the lackluster lasting appeal of Nintendo's minigames. On Gamasutra, we see that price is an overwhelming factor for most people. It is for me. And the gambit I shall make, my quinceañera into next-gen, will be this amazing Amazon deal. It begins!

I heard Wii owner #1's actual legal name is Isaiah Triforce Johnson…. So yeah, I play Nintendo, but I'll never be a Nintendo fanboy. That's just fucking sad.
On a completely separate note, I picked up your post today with Google Reader. I've subscribed to yours, Alvin's, and Kyuu Hee's blogs. Also, I've decided to stop trying to re-invent the wheel, and I've begun publishing my blog with Blogger. It feels kinda archaic, but they have all sorts of search engine optimizations, inclusion into the blogger network, etc etc.
If Blogger doesn't work out, I'll look into becoming your neighbor instead. 🙂

Yeah but Flow has been out for a while already, and it isn't nearly as accessible or fun as Geometry Wars. For those who don't know the flow… http://intihuatani.usc.edu/cloud/flowing/
Hi there! This post could not be written any better! Going through this article reminds me of my previous roommate! He always kept talking about this. I am going to forward this article to him. Fairly certain he’ll have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!
