Oh. My. God. System Wars is starting to implement the imploding of my brain. I really should veer away from there for a while, but it's just so much fun to read!
At least, until people start flaunting their wealth and superior television sets.
First of all, let me say: WTF? How is a regular ol' TV any different than an HD TV? "But, teh crisp!!!" or "But teh wide screen!!!" At the end of the day day people, you're still staring at a box that lights up with pretty colors! Nothing more, nothing less! "But it looks so realistic!!!" It's a f*****g game! It's not supposed to be realistic, and I don't know where this craze sprouted up! When I play a game it sure as hell isn't because I want to focus on this crappy reality! I play a game to get away, and if the story, gameplay, and character development is good enough, I will. How many games have I completely and totally lost myself in this generation or previous? Too many to count! Now, this can range from a few seconds to a multitude of minutes, but it still happens! As long as it happens even for a fleeting moment, I have gotten out of gaming what I wanted.
Next, posters insulting other posters because they're poor. I'm assuming most of these posters are U.S. citizens because this country is majorly materialistically f****d up. Whenever someone doesn't have $500+ dollars to go out and waste on some trivial piece of consumerism cholesterol, I know that I will always see either 'WTF? Ur poor!' or 'STFU get a job!' Does no one have a problem with these insults? I hardly ever see anyone retaliating against such imbecilic charges leaving those posters with the confidence to spew it out again at a later date.
So to sum up, rather therapeutically, I am not going to spend $500+ on a box that serves no productive purpose in my life nor am I going to feel bad that I have other priorities than gaming for my income.
