What I hate about E3

I bloody love video games. Namely Nintendo's so much so that I watched the live stream of the announcements they made at San Francisco's Electronic Entertainment Expo and saying I was impressed is a little of an understatement. I loved they're new games they announced and what they showcased was quite amazing; better than last year. 


Firstly, the 3DS, omfg. I WANT. Secondly, Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, onfg. I WANT etc. This is the only thing I'm annoyed about E3; I want everything Nintendo showcase and since I'm looking for a new DS, I may lean towards a 3DS when they are available so that's not bad. But you see, it's not the idea of wanting games but more making time to play them all because I'm very picky about when and what games I play. I prefer to finish games before moving on as all I do is confuse myself with different plots and controls and the such. But that's just me being picky. Anyhow, that's my rant over.

Hardcore Gaming

A few of my friends would class me as a geek. Some would describe me as a first class prick. But anyway, they know how much into the geek culture I am particularly when it comes to computers. So when I'm asked what kind of gamer I am, considering my love for geek culture, I stumble a bit. See, I'm not one of those people who would really enjoy long sessions of Halo or Call of Duty (or CoD as I have been told.. Why it's named after a fish, I have no idea) but I'd play an hour's worth. I'm not a massive fan of that genre of game anyway. I prefer, of all systems, the Wii.


I could play hours, upon hours of games on the Wii, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is one I payed until my eyes had strained. I'm actually itching to buy more remotes so we can properly play Super Mario Wii. I wouldn't consider myself to be a hardcore gamer, I play to much colourful and 'family friendly' games but I really, really get into them to the point where it's like any other teenaged boy and his Xbox. Which for the record, sucks.

Apple are the evil one's now!

I've been using Apple computers for nearly a year now and I like how they make their products even if they are expensive for standard computers, let's say I love OS X so much that it's worth the couple hundred more. Yeah, that works!


Anyway, they have been getting bad press lately, no. Going crazy when their prototype was 'stolen' to the point of confusing nearly everyone who ever knew about it. I don't even know if the guy's office was raided or what.. Is it legal? So many bloody questions that we will never find the answer to. Then we have the whole iPad thing. After the question that Jobs had answered that claimed that Android's users are all sex addicts who heart porn or something. Also, the whole lack of flash on the iPad for Jobs' belief in protecting children from Flash's numerous porn sites and what have you.


Why do I get the feeling that Apple along with it's slightly mad CEO are slowly going to escape consumer interest with their silly plans based on personal beliefs resulting in one very useless device. Microsoft, you are forgiven. For now.
