Revolution
Let's get to the links first. I'm sure those of you that really care about this already know about it but I felt it my obligation to post the best links I could find here.
Revolution Information and Pics
Gameboy Advance Mini Information and Pics
For whatever reason this site seems to be getting the best information the fastest. They focus on Nintendo products and information and seem to really have a good perspective that seems to mesh well with my own. We don't think Nintendo is flawless and have no problem pointing out their faults, but we're really rooting for them. Gizmodo on the other had was being a total dick during their entire "live" blogcast of the Nintendo press conferance. Fuckin' pissed me off! No links from them beacause while they could have been producing real news like Planet Gamecube they decided to just complain and make dickish remarks the whole time...and tada! Planet Gamecube beats them to the news. Fuckers deserved it!
So...discussion time. I would love to bullet this but there's no point. You really need to be reading the wonderful coverage linked above. So...what do I think about all the news? I think the Revolution looks great. I mean really great. Damn sleak and very mature. Evidently will play dvd's and such with a minor addon. Nice...most people like myself won't be using it for a DVD player but the mainstream really expects that these days. Then again I might get the addon anyway if it will transmit a 1080p signal. That would awsome. I never cared much for online support so...yeah...don't really care about all the online hype. Sorry. It's badass that the controllers are going to be wireless only and that the save games are going to be saved onto flash memory that can be upgraded. Nothing wrong with that at all if I do say so! But the "suprise" everyone has been talking about, downloadable library of previous Nintendo games all the way back and all the way forward, really raises my eyebrow. I mean...I don't play games after I've beaten them so I really don't care that much but that really really kicks the system's available titles up several notches. I think the hardware is sound and the ideas are awsome...but...it always comes down to the same old thing with Nintendo. Games...quantity and quality. Sure PS2 looks like crap but they have absurd amounts of games and though a lot of them are horrible pieces of crap there are a lot of good ones. So many good ones that I would venture to say that the available "good" titles on the PS2 are more that the entire library of Gamecube titles. Blasphemy to even speak the words...but this is what Nintendo needs to worry about. It will always be the deciding factor. It's funny that they continue to talk about how they are all about the games and the hardware doesn't really matter...well...how about you start practicing what you preach there tiger?
Now to the GBA Mini. I think it's a cool idea but really...I'm seeing this more as something to get the Japanese audience. Personally I think it's cool that they are updating the system with a better screen. Hell...the screen everyone has always wanted! But all in all I probably won't get one as I really like the clamshell design of my SP. That and I really had my fingers crossed that they were going to release a system with the ability to play music and movies on the go. Oh well...they better hurry the hell up with the play yan coming to america then because I'm getting antsy! Please don't make me buy a PSP nintendo...please...? I was sad to hear about the utter trifle of games going to be released for the DS. PSP had then beat out of the gate and I really want to see the DS win...so Nintendo, for the love of god, release more games!!! Anyway...That's about it. This is coming out a day late but I had finished most of it yesterday I just couldn't get the darn thing to post. Go figure...
More news on life follows quickly...

...I still totally hate but I'll give them a pat on the back for being significantly more powerful than the Xbox 360. I laugh at your misfortune Microsoft!

Blah Blah who cares?! Nintendo press conference will be over and news will be available in a couple of hours. Then we get the real meat. Oh yeah...E3 is going on right now and if you don't know what that is either google search it or check my blog same time last year. Looks like all the "Next-Gen" systems are going to be backwards compatable which is interesting. It's like they all know it's too damn early for the next generation and are tiping their hats a little. Yes PS3 will be backwards compatable all the way back to the origional playstation, Xbox 360 to Xbox and Revolution to Cube.

If You Don't Have Anything Good To Say...
...Post a link and ask a rhetorical question.
Does that link disturb anyone else with it's professionalism and insight?

From The Creator of Awsome
Hey everyone. I really don't have any good news yet so I'm just going to let you guys be. SOMEONE commented that I tend to rant on my site a while back so no bad news today. The problem with that is I really don't have any GOOD news to speak of so I'll just shoot you a link that I have been drooling over for the last couple days. It's not real but damn...how cool would that be? I can honestly say I would pay large sums of money to have one of those in my hands for real. Guess you'll HAVE to check the link now! Anyway...still nothing but more roadblocks, hoops, and hurdles to getting this teaching job nailed down. That and Kelley is doing everything she can to leave the country for at least a year...been planning it for months and months...glad she decided to tell me LAST WEEKEND! Anyway...job hurdles, and girlfriends that don't communicate...nothing new here. Move on.
