Putting on stickers is pretty cool but I'm horrified to think of putting a sticker on my silver PS2 and GameCube.
AH! I just realized there's a silver Xbox 360. The Halo Reach LE. I want it!
I'm not a multiplayer FPS player, so I don't see much of that stuff, but I hear about it all the time. I still remember turning on the sound for the first time in a Halo firefight match (the only mode I'll play) and the first thing I heard was a racial slur. THE FIRST THING! Turned the sound off, never looked back.
What annoys me a little lately though are the Indie snobs. I like all sorts of games, but when certain Indie games are gushed over for hours on a podcast, I wish I could tell them, "your talking about a two hour experience!" Is that really enough gameplay to make it game of the year? I think not. People just got to make a stand against the big bad triple A publishers and create their little elitist club. Anyway, that's my rant of the day.
The year of Luigi one is maybe even better.
That Genesis console is cool. 80 built in games and wireless controllers for $40. 
Game List: Alex Kidd, Alien Storm, Altered Beast, Arrow Flash, Bonanza Brothers, Chakan, Columns, Columns 3, Comix Zone, Crack Down, Decap Attack, Ecco, Ecco 2, Ecco Jr., E-Swat, Eternal Champions, Fatal Labyrinth, Flicky, Gain Ground, Golden Axe (all three), Jewel Master, Kid Chameleon, Mean Bean Machine, Ristar, Shadow Dancer, Shinobi III, Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic and Knuckles, Sonic Spinball, Sonic the Hedgehog (1 & 2), Streets of Rage (all 3), The Ooze, Vectorman (1 & 2), and Virtua Fighter 2.
I got rid of my Genesis years ago because I had so many collections for the consoles, but I'd like to have an original deck for some obscure games sometime.
Contain it man! Don't let it get on the PS4!
Oh man. Now I wish I had waited for the special edition. December 2nd I hear.
I may try it one day to see what it's all about, but it's description and all the talk I've had to listen to on podcasts about it sound so unappealing to me. The idea that a game like Journey wants you to feel an emotion, is just another filmic concept. I like the physical or mental challenge presented by games and the stories that inadvertantly happen. I don't want to have an experience forced on me or be manipulated to feel something. I do the manipulation. That's games to me.
If RE had the smooth feel of Gears, I would love that series. But it's a clumsy experience and I cannot abide an awkward control scheme no matter how good the story is.
I agree. She faces him with no shame or fear. She's confident. She's like "yeah, I'm a woman, what of it. Now turn around."
I like story in games but when it becomes almost the only thing in the game, then I'm watching a movie. That's why I've been reluctant to play games like Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls and "experience" games like Journey. I like interacting. That's why I play games. I'm not interested in another passive medium like film or being force fed some experience. I like to make my own stories in games. To heck with the movement to make games like film and TV. I don't know why people have to convert a unique creation like games into the same old thing. Phoey!
