But even more seriously, that was awesome! I'm glad that people are actually doing stuff like that because the fanboyism surrounding the current generation of consoles is nothing short of astounding, thus being able to poke fun at all three companies is great.

It's bad enough that editors of major enthusiast press outfits are themselves CRAZY biased fanboys. But the situation gets even worse when the EIC of PSM magazine basically had to apologize to PS3 fans for giving low scores to shitty games.

The internet does indeed make you stupid.

F#ck.

I nearly shat and then ate my shit and shat again, that's how phunny that was!

Oh man - that was great...mostly becuase I don't own a game system (my last one was a Gemeni from the 80's).

I stumbled across "The Escapist" late last night while mindlessly surfing PointlessWasteofTime.com 's "Mirth Canal". The Escapist is my new favourite website - they interviewed Steve Jackson a little while ago; I read the first page of the interview, and I'm impressed - the interviewer actually understands what a table-top game is!

This "Zero Punctuation" feature is apparently a weekly thing - Wednesdays. I'm not sure how long it's been running, but it's damn good. At the end of one of these rants (review of BioShock, I think), the white-text-on-blue "disclaimer" above his email address says something like (not a direct quote): "Ignorantly leap to the defense of giant multinational corporations that do not know of your existence, let alone care about you" Fanboyism in a nutshell, right there. The rants are very entertaining even if one does not own or has never played the game or system in question.
