I swear everything has to be unbelievable fancy looking. And it just looks awful to me. Just like graphics in todays games. Ten years ago they were colorful and everything. And now they just have this awful "perfect" look to them I think. Halo is a perfect example the old graphics look better to me personally then the new graphics.

Then just stick with old stuff and don't get new stuff? This is clearly the solution to all your problems.

yea it certainly is, but many ppl assume now that just because we have realistic graphics, that theres no style in art design anymore. To those people i say look at Deus ex Human Revolution

I have to agree with the TC... I much prefer the older, more graphic style of games from the past. I'd take something like Myst over Uncharted any day... but there is a solution!

it is just quantity, not quality. beacuse things like mouse we use nowadays, it is no different from ten years ago. as to me, things as weplay thepc game by our body instead of mouseor hand shank are fancy.

Damnit I hate that no one agrees with me. You mean you guys all like the ridiculous over the top fanciness we have in things these days ? It's so fancy it's fake. Like we used to have "style" and now all we have is "fanciness". Like look at the n64, that was a cool system. Today it's just "oh look at the ps3 and it's slickness and shinyness!"

Things stopped being fancy in the 60's. The pinnacle of non-fanciness was the late 1980's to early 90's when everything was horrible ugly clashing colours, and functionality and class were replaced with the ability to blind old people with your clothes and accessories.

it means your cool and you think for yourself, but you could just as much be a sheep of "thinking for yourself" get what i mean? Ex. a guy who just attended a chomsky lecture and now starts reading about che guevearra. He then buys some all stars and skinny jeans, and befriends some guys in a band... he doesnt know why hes doing it, he just does

Apple is too fancy for my liking, but aside from that, I'm peachy with technology since I'm a late adapter anyway.

as for the video games, i'm not totally on your side but i somehow agree the over fanciness of today's products tends to be really annoying sometimes.it has nothing to do with technology advancement IMO but rather a world wide advertising policy.
