I've been in the gaming scene for a long time. I just logged on for the first time today in a while, and as you can see - I haven't changed my avatar or sig at all from back in my Game Spot days. I was a huge Nintendo fanboy, and looking back at it this fact in my life, I'm ashamed. I can't believe I was like that towards a company. fanboys still exist apparently, and not just the Nintendo kind. MS, Sony, PC alike are equally as bad. I don't get it, why are we bashing each other?

Throughout my years of video game experience, I've grown up. When you've been gaming as long as I have, you realize – why can't we all like the finer aspects of gaming and not focusing on the bad points. It's stupid, childish, and most of all – can you even call yourself a gamer when you display hatred towards a game? Little Big Planet was originally going to the Wii but it was announced and released for PS3. Would you rather play the game on the less powerful Wii or the PS3 where the physics engine will actually work and be fun? Be happy for the game and developer, it would've been a lot less fun on the Wii and you know it. Yes, maybe you'll be dissatisfied with other games because it's a rehash or a crappy game, but move on and find something you'll have a better time with.

Giving up the hatred opened my mind up and now I feel better. Not just about gaming, but life in general. Ever since this new attitude, I feel like life is just better. I'm more social, freer, and my life is no longer dedicated to the downfall of Sony. Just give it up, love games for what they are and not for what console they come out on. It's pointless. Just because you own a 360 and a game comes out for PS3 (or vice-versa) you want, doesn't mean you have to hate it.

Before I end my post, I just want to say one thing. Maybe I can't change your mind. Maybe I can't make a difference. But let me tell you guys, I never listened to posts like this in my fanboy days. People tried to tell me, they warned me. I don't think anyone's perspective can be changed in one post, because mine didn't. It changed overtime.

Thanks for reading!

I really do think the GBA slot was a good idea.Having that particular slot opens up the DS library quite a bit, And since the younger crowd mostly had GBAs before there DSs, they could play there favorited on the new shiny system. I will admit I even still play some GBA games on my DS if I have to. Pokemonis be a big one for me. Catching them all and transferring them toPearl is a cool feature and makes the slot even better.

I'm sure many of you heard the rumors already about how Nintendo's newly redesigned DS will have no GBA slot and to make up for it, bigger screens will be present. Do any of you agree with that? (I suppose this should be for another topic but I figure it's somewhat related.) I don't agree with this at all. A big selling point to the DS is it's GBA slot, and the GBA - DS cart. communication feature would not be present. I really dont think Nintendo needs to perfect the perfected because from where the DS stands, I don't think it'll get better.

I was expecting a 7-ish score out of this game. Well done Square!

I'm actually at work now sitting here with nothing to do. Man, I reallly wish I was home playing SMG!
