Consoles last gen?

People are starting to talk about it. The unthinkable is happening. Consoles are dieing.

As read in PC Gamer mag: 'Sandy Duncan- former Microsoft VP who unleashed the Xbox on the Europeans told the website That VideoGame Blog that 'consoles will die out in the next five to ten years. The business model is very risky and the costs associated with creating new hardware are incredibly high.''

Alex St.John, CEO of WildTangent said: 'I think that we're looking at the last generation of consoles, because Sony and Microsoft are never going to make back the money sank on the PS3 and Xbox 360, and I doubt they'll have the will at the end of this generation's consoles to do it again. And the market will have changed so much that I'm not sure that there will really be a market reason that can justify doing it again. They just can't afford to burn another eight billion bucks'.

A study done by Parks Associates humiliated the three console makers. The study shows that the average console gamer spends more time playing on a PC: 18.5 hours versus 13.5 hours a month.

With this in mind I believe that they're will not be a PS4. If there is a new gen of consoles, they will have present day hardware witch will result in PC pwn consoles. Nintendo is the only company that might make a new console because motion sensors can't be done on PC... yet.

Spore

I've downloaded the creature creator a few days ago. I forgot about it for a few days but I remember it last night. So after coping it on my flash drive, transferring it to my other PC and installing it, I start playing the game.

First the game is simply awesome. OK the game is a little cheesy but still there's nothing wrong with creating cute creatures before hand and then make them fight to the death when the real game comes out. :twisted:

The only problem I had was that I build my creature backwards so the feet weren't facing the right way. Since you can't rotate the body, I deleted that backwards walking beast and made three cool creatures that I'll upload shots of soon.

Zero Punctuation

I completed a full view of every last bit of Zero Punctuation video material. In other words I watched them all.

I enjoy having someone rip on my favorite games because most of the time it's true. Gaming lost 'fun' back when PS2 came out. Not only too much trash on the market but there are little good games to compensate for that. I would like to go back to the simple days where the blue hedhog would collect rings and fight sweet bosses. Today you buy a game, play it ten hours, possibly realise that most present day games suck, and get bored of it later and wonder why you spent 50$ for it. Ok for me great game isn't graphics, it's pure fun and something worth your 50$. Crysis, GTA SA, Oblivion are among the good ones.

So I was saying that I like seeing someone rip on popular games is that games today have so many bad things that people learned to ignore and having someone expose those to the viewer in a hilarious way is just great!

If you never seen a Zero Punctuation, your missing out.

Gaming Laptops

Whats all this hype about gaming laptops? The PCHardware forum is polluted with posts asking if their laptops are good for gaming. The answer is NO! Ok don't write comments about how the DELL XPS has dual 8800GTX is good and the hole nine yards. That laptop weighs more than my cat and the battery lasts 4.5 minutes! Nice portability why not carry around a cement block, it'll give you some exercise? I agree that laptop is good for gaming but in today's society (including all the: 'I want this laptop is it good' posts) people won't pay more than 1000$ for one. Well news flash a 8600 can't play Crysis for sh!t without going under 20Fps on med or getting so hot you can't play it on your lap anymore. If your stuck playing on your desk with a cooling kit, why the hell did you buy a laptop! You pay more for less. For 1300$ I get my build that's posted under. For 1300$ you get a 8600. I don't know why everybody has the urge to play Age of Conan on a college laptop. I'm going to college in two years. I need a laptop just as much as everybody else, so I get a good gaming PC for GAMES and a ibook G4 for WORK. Why try to combine both. If your in a dire need of a gaming laptop cough up the cash, there's little economy to make in the gaming laptop domain.

Update!

All my games are now rated! Post any questions on this here.

PS: this blog has hidden my Crysis guide, be sure to read it if you haven't already.

Xbox will you ever forgive me?

I've been cruel to Xbox. It isn't Xbox that is stealing PC exclusives, actualy no one is. Consoles seem to take games from PC like Crysis, well guess what Crysis Warhead was announced and Xbox will get nigher. Notice I don't talk about PS3 because it's such a piece of crap that it makes me shame what I said about Xbox, witch should be repeated for the PS3 but I've got better things to do than repeat myself and get moderated again. PS3 has worst load times than Galciv2 in all of it's games. 30 minutes for GTA 4, I prefer in game loading to that! The Xbox doesn't have that crap and it doesn't need a solid state drive. Hell the drive is worth more than the PS3 and reduces loading times only of several minutes. GTA4 still takes half an hour. Maybe I was angry at Xbox because I can't get Halo 3 and maybe Xbox is pissed off it won't get Crysis or Crysis Warhead, but we're all pissed at Sony for making such a piece of crap!

Images

I posted a few Rollercoaster Tycoon screenshots. It's the best I can do until level 10, where I'll upload my 15 gigs of Crysis videos! I had to buy a 20 Hard Drive to not overload my master.

Check out my images! I've got presently 40 but it's always on the rise.

Note: if you post comments on my images I probaly won't respond. If you feel the need to comment feel free to post here.
