@dinosaur_teeth:
--i cant let my kids play video games
--then i dont have time to
--ha nah but
--becuase that quickly becomes ALL they wanna do!
--they transform into like zombies
--and the games become BRAINS

@davillain-:
--it is ok
--but just come to the christmas party this year
--it lasts 4 weeks
--quite the whole ordeal
--i mean
--we sacrifice christmas trees to baby jesus and everything
--and OHH the aroma of sweet incense coming from our dirty stockings steaming over the fireplace

--that is crazy though
--i mean
--they are OBVIOUSLY not selling the numbers they want(right outta the gate~they are jumping on making bundles)
--they are once again just giving shit like controllers away
--those are like 60$
--it is one reason why i bought a 2nd xb1
--i needed a new controller(and the bundle i got was RIDICULOUS)

--i have never seen such desperation to sell a console
--i will say this though
--at least they do not let their pride get in the way
--because that is EXACTLY what nintendo did with wiiU(they shoulda started giving wiiUs away right around the time MK8 & Smash didnt jolt console sales)
--and
--look at wiiU now

@alien33:

--but like me
--a lot of people didnt even 'use' the internet back then(to investigate EVERY little thing)
--i didnt know what it was
--i remember feeling somehow 'involved'(after watching it)
--like
--"should i call the police?" ha
--because
--all it was for me was a video i downloaded(from a friend's email link)
--and
--they did a REALLY good job acting and making it seem like it was real
--i mean there were no opening credits or titles

--today(and even just a year or 2 later)
--i would have been googling that shit within 5 minutes of watching it
--just to see what it was
--check for ratings
--look for scientific explanations of the cinematography
--brush over the Wikipedia page
--ya know?

--ha
--different times(1999 was right there on the cusp of the information age)
--i was a little slow getting going strong online
--i couldnt afford it
--i was just a kid
--id use the college for 'internets'
--now that i think about it
--i think i had just gotten my first computer and gotten online
--right around the time i watched that shit

@dlCHIEF58:
--i see how you avoided my facts
--you accuse me of being an opinionated troll
--well maybe i can be
--but i also spew fact son
--i spew fact

@dlCHIEF58:

--a PC elitist would sell a kidney for new hardware(if that was the price he had to pay)
--and then pirate all his games

--the only problem with scorpio(based on 'your assumption' of what it will be)
--is that there is no market for branded gaming PCs
--you need proof?
--go check valve's steam machines sales numbers

@slappy54:
--haha

@dinosaur_teeth:
--i collect nintendo stuff
--they make such timeless consoles and aaa exclusives for them
--it is ridiculous
--i can pull out my NES(snes n64) and play any of it's greatest titles
--and they are right there on par with being as current as any game today
--but
--i can look at a game like wiiU's starfox(one of wiiU's worse games~but most prevelant to the wiiu's unique mechanics)
--and i understand
--that in 50 years
--it will still be a relevant piece of gameplay
--because it is unique in a very timeless way(as long as that damn controller doesnt quit working)

--another thing about nintendo
--is their shit hardly EVER loses value
--and their collector's editions
--if kept in box and great condition
--hold value as good as gold(literally)

@suicidesn0wman:
--i can tell you a little trick in how to predict the future
--it is REALLY easy(in many cases~not all)
--but to see the future
--just...
--look what happened in the past
--it is ESPECIALLY easy to 'predict the moves' of someone of ridiculously solid character
--in this case
--that someone is Microsoft

--so what is their M/O
--well
--besides windows 95
--windows xp
--and xbox 360
--they make shit nobody buys

@Daveof89:
--you again
--why havent you followed me back yet?
--trust me
--once we are gamespot pals
--these conversations will become MUCH more healthier
