I love videogames. I totally want a Wii. I'm hoping the price drops a little next year. 250 is kinda high for a system barely more powerful than a Gamecube. Still, the Virtual Console and controller look like tons of fun. I'd like an XBox 360 too, but I'll wait until the price drops 100 bucks and find one used for even cheaper than that. Gears of War looks fuckin' FUN. There's plenty of PS2, DS shit to play until then, which is fine because I barely have time to play games anymore.

Wii Sports is fun as shit.

best console ever!

i also bought my spot in line at 2:00 off some kid for 10 bucks. I was #12 of 20. I took shrooms at 3:00 and tripped until 8:00 then proceded to smoke weed in Wal*Marts homegarden section. All the little kids there hated me. Some house wife also gave me 5 percs. All in all I enjoyed spending my saturday waiting for this hunk of greatness

WHAT A DEAL THIS IS when you think abuot it!!! supafly and demand, folks. it is simple echonomics and you are raeping the rewards[

second the p3 didnt' rip off Nandtendo with its mutton sensing controllar. sony cam up with the idea years agoe but thye got so busy crating deep and thought pravoking comercials and makeing sure the ps3 had plenty of AAAA calibur titles at the systems lunch that they forgot to make the controlr or tell anybdy until two weeks before tis years E3

I'm totally addicted to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. In the past I've never beaten a video game. The only ones I'd want to beat would be probably one of those great NES Mario games or Goldeneye for that N64 shit. I remember owning Goldeneye in what must have been '97, seems like yesterday, and not being able to get past the 2nd or 3rd level so I gave up. I'm like that. But this Grand Theft thing is God once I figured it out, found out how much fun it can be and beat my first few missions. Only paid about $1.50 online for it too. Sweetness. Best game ever.

I've was never into video games in the least when I was growing up. My brother is addicted to video games, but he's pretty smart, and has even designed his own working games on the computer, and is going to college for a career in video game programming, so whatever. I never even attempted to play a video game until my girlfriend got a game cube for Christmas a couple years back. Now I'm a master of Mario Kart Double Dash. None of my friends have ever even came close to beating me. It's the only game I'm good at though, and other than that, I still could care less about video games.

We always had a nintendo growing up. Unfortunately, I couldn't play it, because my father was so addicted to the thing that he couldn't share. My friends and I would stay up till four in the morning on weekends watching him play all night long. Even when he wasn't actively playing the thing I was denied access. He had a NES Advantage and when he was playing Zelda II for example, he'd sit on the edge of the side scrolling enemy screens and would press down the weapon button and then wedge a knife in it while it was set to turbo so he would constantly be throwing swords racking up experience points. Before Nintendo existed my dad used to like to take me to the arcade. He'd cash in a twenty and then give me a quarter. Since I was just a little kid, I'd blow it quick, then I'd sit behind him for the next two hours straight pulling on the back of his shirt saying "daddy, daddy can I please have another quarter" to which he'd respond "shhh... just.... just hold on a minute" plugging away all his money till he had none left to share with me. I remember one particularly traumatic experience in which he took me to a record store first and bought a couple of albums. Then on the way out we stopped by the arcade, it was my job to hold the bag with the records. I got bored and kind of forgot about it and set it down. When he was done playing video games the bag was gone. He never yelled at me or disciplined me for losing his records, but I could sense his serious disapointment with me.

If that weren't bad enough, most of the people I've known in Milwaukee are the exact same way. Here are people who could be doing something fun, exciting, creative and interesting with their lives. Instead they play monkeyball. They might as well give themselves lobotomies.

I seriously have more respect for crackheads than I do video game addicts. At least crack, for as worthless of a buzz as it gives you put you in interesting situations. At least a person can get a good story out of smoking crack.

Video games are social control.

Woah!!! This is freakishly familiar to me. I fucking hate video games. My dad discovered Nintendo when I was about 13 (first time I saw him playing it I was coming down from my first acid trip!!!) and spent each and every evening sitting in my room for a few years, big brown dentures biting on a Now menthol 100 and grumbling ssshhhit...godddammit... motherfucking cocksucker.....errr....s hhhh...uh. He'd sorta move along with the character by stomping his feet, flailing arms, pounding on the table etc. When I starting working, he'd call me up at work to ask "what's the secret to such and such game on level 9?" I'd flip out and remind him that I hadn't touched that shit in years, but he'd insist that I was keeping secrets. Then, of course, there were times when he'd tie up the TV by leaving that shit on pause for a day. I swear I could write a long assed book about this shit. If only I owned some sort of camera back then.!@#$%%^$#@!!!
