My brother is big into buying cell phones. Real expensive ones. ONes that can tranform and crap. They're like mini computers.
I, too, like Skarteh have a girlfriend. So it gets used often, and usually abused (not because I throw it across the room) but more like because I tend to just drop the thing a lot. I just wanted to know why buy a expensive phone when no matter how careful you are, it is indeed subject to the possibilities of being damage. Of course, if I asked my brother this, he'd roll his eyes and make some stupid comment and then in return, I would want to personally stomp his face in.
I'm never going to buy a Razor....well, until they've fallen to a reasonable $10 price for me. Which will be in 20 or so years. But I'll be getting it, because I was explained the positives of it.
I can answer you why I, personally, would never play WoW and the reason why so many people play Guild Wars to being with: its free.
I don't beleive in paying monthly for a game. I don't think its right. Its a game. It should be enjoyable. Now, since I know monthyl payments is slowly becoming more acceptable and probably will become part of gaming altogether....I will say the small payments are better. Like the $50 for Xbox Live. But WoW is what? $12 for a month. For the year....$144, almost three times Xbox Live...and only for one game. Live is for all games.
Much of what you say in the bottom half of the lvl cap and combinations is what makes the PVP great. And I have no problem in that. Maybe even WoW should impliment an arena where you can go and lvls would be equaled so that it becomes a whole new game. But really? After awhile of the same thing, the same lvl, and the same skills.....it gets old. Like I said, I was a warrior/mesmer just to mix things up. It worked for me but I was laughed at a lot. Whats the point of all these crazy combination and practically endless skill system...when so many people constrain themselves to the BTDT (been there, done that) form?
I know Guild Wars is a nice game. And I'm sure GW2 will be even better. My problem with GW is that it gets boring because after some point, its all the same. Have they even broken the lvl 20 barrier yet? On top of that, the story is bland and just doesn't interest me. And like you said, casuals can get into it. And I don't mind if they do. But let me, someone, or anyone who wants to get better than everyone else do that. GW is like the communist economic system....everything is dictated by the state so that everyone gets the same benefits.
But I do know the PVP is fun in there. Thats all I played when I did play. My name was Major Blue Balls. I was a warrior/mesmer. People would laugh at me. Until they realized that if they charged me (like most idiots do), I'd hit them with various degeneration spells (I think one would poison them, and another to slow them down so they couldn't run away as easily) and then cut them so they would bleed and use an attack that would double if they were bleeding. Presto! Instant death. Thats the neat thing about GW is the classes and PVP.
But....couldn't get into it. Got old fast. Plus, the new ones they added....the dervish and what was the other fruity one.....yeah, those two classes were dumb. GW2 should be better....at least in theory, it should be much better. Like the GTA of MMOs.
Let me ask you this: Can you take your fancy, expensive cell phone and drop in the toliet before you're about to take a crap because you pulled it out so you could play a game of billards while you "dropped the kids off at the pool," and then -without any thought - plunged your hand into the toliet, grabbed it, and called the first person on your calling list who happens to be your ex-girlfriend just to see if your phone works, and worked?
World's longest question. Only to prove one thing. My $10 cell phone could give your $200 razor a stunner while stomping in the $600 iPhone's vagina lips.
And lets not add in the extra benefits of having a extra couple hundred dollars by the savings I got by buying the cheap phone. But lets also factor in all the woman I can call on my cheap phone faster than some crappy touch screen phone can.
All I'm saying is.....why buy something so expensive if its only going to last only for a little?
The only thing I could think of with preordering from a Gamestop was something stupid like a keychain. I think with Super Mario Galaxy, you got a stupid gold coin with a star on the front of it. But yeah, I can see the benefits of preordering for things like that.
But for whatever reason, I'm just not interested in that other stuff. Although, many of the games that offer these "bonuses," are also the games I'm not interested to begin with. A friend left me play Guild Wars off his account...that was fun, but it gets old rather fast. I find more interest in Runescape than Guild Wars for some reason. And Burnout is a racing games. Racing games aren't worth $50 to me....I play them, get to a certain spot where it gets real hard, stop, and never touch the game again. Yeah well...guess one day I'll learn, when I'm buying SSBB and some guy comes a knocking with his gun on my car's driverside window, as he politely gestures for my game.
Wow....this conversation changed fast. Well, I never preorder for the record. Preordering is a waste of time for me. And often, the Gamestop people are arrogant cocks that think if you don't preorder...you life ends when "insert game here" comes out. No....where I live, Target, Wal-Mart, or any other big store always has an ample supply of games and they are always available. The local Target by me has 3000 copies of Halo 3. It had Mario Galaxy on release date and never ran out. And Mario Party 8 which Gamestop told me would be sold out for two weeks, was available at Target on day one.
Most games are pushed back. All big titles usually have this. Metal Gear Solid 4 was suppose to hit sometime last year. Now its suppose to hit Q1 this year. Now it might not hit till Q2 or 3....but the development team is saying they are close to finish. Halo 3 had the same problems too.
Basically, all high profile sequels seem to hit turbulence. They have high expectations. And because of these high expectations, developers want to overdo everything. And in return, they overextend themselves. They think they can get this done by a certain date, but since they want to put in so much to be so much better than the title before they end up needing more time.
I think this is whats happening with SSBB. It sucks....but oh well. There are plenty of other Wii games for now.
OK...the front page still flickers once in a while and when it finally loads, it will show the top of the page and instead of frontpage news, it will display some sort of code. I will try to copy and past it here if it happens again.
I clicked on other news bits on the frontpage and they too will not load. Its a shame because some of the news is of high interest lately too.
This is the shit showing up on the front page:

Its funny that I bashed this and now its getting a prize. Not only that, but I think I bashed it about a week ago. And now a week later, it has a prize.
Well, it has not achieved the highest honor and that is the Puff Daddy Mad-Props. I still say to hell with the wireless nunchuk.
Its excessive. Plus I'm sure its more than the normal $20 for a nunchuk....which with the wiimote is $60 for one complete wii controller. I'm sure the wireless nunchuk isn't kind on the wallaet. Plus, its another AA battery you have to worry about - which means more cash. And, I'm just waiting for someone to lose it because a dog carried it off or little brother/sister decided to take it because it looked a lot like Buzz Lightyear's spaceship. And poof. One lost wireless nunchuk which costs $30 some bucks.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm right. But I just aren't buying into Nyko's nunchuk.
Yup! Thats it. Wcw vs NwO Revenge, I think it was, is considered to be the best wrestling game.
I'm not much for the new games lately. They tend to be the same thing over and over. And I see that the "new" wrestling games are seemingly taking the path of Madden. That is, that the wrestling game is essentially the same thing every year with updated roster. Now, I know Raw vs Smackdown 07 adds in that submission hold thing, but....Madden has added a few things as well, and it doesn't revolutionize the gameplay....it just makes it more complex and harder for someone (like me) who likes to be able pick up a game and play it. The games almost aren't games anymore....they're like a science.
Anyways, I still play my 1 wrestling game on the Genesis once in a great while. And like I said, Fire Pro Wrestling Returns for the PS2 for only $15 is a bargain and its a fairly good, yet challenging game.
