E3 on G4

ok, so i've been watching the live coverage of E3 on G4 b/c i have nothing better to do...literally. now being only mildly interested in video games (love buying games, but then 1-2 weeks later i'm bored), this isn't something that really causes me to blow my load (i actually heard some douchebag say that on live tv about some game...sigh). what i do have though is undying devotion to sony and all those playstations...we actually have 3 ps2's and 1 ps3 in my house. so i'm going to complain about some things i've seen, mainly xbox and nintendo related.

first of all, if you don't speak english don't get on stage and go on in japanese so we have to wait for the translator to repeat everthing in english. just find someone who can speak english to give your speech...you're not that engaging and you're probably reading your speech from a teleprompter anyway.

secondly, nintendo wii sucks. i'm sorry, but the novelty of the wireless stick thingies wore off a long time ago. and coming out with new controllers for different games doesn't interest me. if i wanted to play tennis, i'd go outside and play tennis. i wouldn't stand in front of the tv swinging some little stick around like a douche. this can go for pretty much all the nintendo sports titles. granted there are some fun games in the nintendo universe, namely mario cart, metroid, smash bros., zelda, and a few more i might have forgot (doubtful) but i refuse to go with a system that revolves around a gimmick.

metal gear solid 4 looks sweet.

i will admit that xbox is intriguing, but lets face facts; americans don't know vg's like the japanese. and microsoft is evil. when are they going to try to take over the world? bill gates is going to go crazy and hack into our national defense. he'll probably bomb japan trying to wipe all his competitors off the board for good. also, i'll never forgive xbox for making those god-awful ginormous controllers on xbox 1. and halo can lick my balls. sure it's a fun game, but it's not thaaaaat amazing. plus the 360 is a piece of crap...there was some poll taken saying that 50% of owners had to have their 360 repaired, some more than once. that's to be expected when a system first comes out...but this is over a year later.

g4 has some beautiful ladies talking about video games and that's totally hot. much better than listening to them go on about shoes, diamonds or yeast infections.

I loved those original huge XBox controllers and I wished they made a 360 version. And the Wii does suck. A gimmicky controller doesn't make up for the hardly "next-gen" XBox-quality graphics.

Halo 2 is the best console first-person shooter since Goldeneye. There are a LOT of console shooters, but I'd say 95% are not worth playing at all.

And you forgot Mario Tennis, GPiece.
