Okay, so i am in very baaaaad place right now. I am not to be trifled with right now:| To understand my current state of mind i must tell you all a story that spands 3 generations of gaming pleasure.
Generation 1: The Birth of PlayStation
In 1994, my uncle had a very bright idea: to buy me a PlayStation for Christmas. Before this i had a slight interest in gaming, i owned a SNES, as did my god-brother..although he also had a NES. We would playDuck Huntand Street Fighter II When ever we were together. But when we both got PlayStations in '94, we both became hardcore players overnight, my first was Crash Bandicoot, i would own that same Playstation until 2001, nearly 7 years later. And it was by choice that i got rid of it.
Generation 2: A New Millenium,A New Begining
The year is 2001, the Month is November. Its a few days before my 12th birthday, and I Have A Dream:P No seriously:| i drempt i was playing a PS2(something i not yet had) a few days later i get it as a present:o My first game for itwas Ratch & Clank. The PS2 advanced my game astronically, its where i played my first Shooter, RPG, Sports game, and even my first real action game. But wasn't all button-mashing and trigger pulling, around early to mid 2005, my PS2 hadn't played DVD's for about 6 months-1 year. Gamestop was running some kind of deal where trading in an old PS2 got you half off a slim model so i took it. I would continue to own that PS2 until December 27, 2007.
Generation 3: Enter Hard-drive, Exit Patients
On December 27, 2007..i bought a PlayStation 3, my crowning acheivement. Or so i thought. During this past summer(July 2010) I saw something that astounded me, shocked my very core, and horrified me: i got the Yellow Light of Death(YLoD). From then until October, I was without my PS3 and was forced to rely on my PSP and DS. When i got it back i was soo happy, i got my baby back:P I was able to play Tekken 6 again, i was able to meratly attempt to catch up on games i missed(although i was behind to begin with), then tomight my heart skipped a beat.....it happed, AGAIN!!!!!!:evil: Now with no cash flow to my name, i am forced to again bide my time till i can send it to get it fixed again, and hopefully by then i also have the funds to get a new PS3 and transfer my data over to the new system.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now while i have plenty to be mad about in this regard, this is not the point of my rant. If you'll notice, in my story, the lifespan of each console deminished from the lifespan of the last even though the technology advanced significantly compared to the last. Now with the tech. of the PS3, how is it that its lifespan is shorter than the one of the PS1. It astounds me, that tech that has come so far can last so little. Even computers last significantly less than they used to. OK, thats it i'm done:):( So don't be shocked if you don't see me on my system for a while:? So don't send me any messages or any kind of request. When i get my current model fixed, i'm gonna pack it away and wait til i get a better model so i can transfer the data. Also, thanks to this, my "Monthly" blogs will hold no PS3 related news or updates til further notice:|
See ya around;)
