E3 Blabbery: PS3 Is Pee
E3 Blabbery: PS3 Is Pee
May 09Alert Nerd’s very own Chris is on the floor at E3 this year for work. My understanding is that he’s the voice actor for Waluigi, which is a far more lucrative career than you might imagine.
The rest of us are not on the floor. In fact, right now, I’m in a chair. That makes it easy to both sit and type at the same time.
This does not mean, however, that us non-floor-ites cannot sit up in our chairs and shout from the chairtops about the news dribbling like spittle out of this massive monument to consumer electronics lust. If the blogosphereoverse stands for anything, it stands for the right of every God-given American to shout from chairtops, even if no one listens.
For example, the PlayStation 3 will cost $499 or $599. Fuck that.
I’ve never owned a PlayStation of any type. I’m a Nintendo fanboy. I’ll come clean with that.
But who wants to pay $499 for a video game system? Is there anyone, Sony fanboys included, who thinks that’s a FAIR PRICE for a video game system?
And is there any geek on the planet who doesn’t look at the new “motion sensitive” PS3 controller with an eyeroll and a sigh? How is that NOT a ripoff of Nintendo’s central concept for their Wii system?
What is exciting about the PS3? Graphics? Gameplay? Genres? Online? It all looks like more of the SAME, but maybe better. Maybe.
Jesus, it’s exhausting to watch the hamsters at Sony and Microsoft run through their treadmills just to impress an ever-shrinking audience of wanky gamers. Clearly, they’re dancing as fast as they can.
Or running. Or whatever. Listen, I’ll mix my metaphors how ever I please, asshole.
