[02:47:48] Koji_Masuda: <Dad> look at this game son, I just bought it!! The idea is to sneak up on the enemies instead of killing them :D
[02:47:52] ChozoGuardian: specially super metroid
[02:47:55] Koji_Masuda: Metroid is a true classic
[02:48:06] Koji_Masuda: completely non linear
[02:48:17] ChozoGuardian: very innovative for its time
[02:48:19] Koji_Masuda: I'd play that game for hours getting lost

[02:51:17] ChozoGuardian: then after X5 
[02:51:22] Koji_Masuda: sticks with the old formula, better music, better graphics, and cutscenes

[02:51:29] ChozoGuardian: it kinda got blah ya know
[02:51:30] ChozoGuardian: yeah
[02:51:31] Koji_Masuda: I don't see why people didn't like it
[02:51:34] ChozoGuardian: they were alright
[02:51:42] ChozoGuardian: X4 was good
[02:51:45] Koji_Masuda: defanetly added a few new twists and depth

[02:52:30] ChozoGuardian: yup
[02:52:44] Koji_Masuda: I'm a chef. . . a lot of people in the culinary industry use drugs to keep up with the long hours and hard work
[02:52:52] ChozoGuardian: haha
[02:52:59] Koji_Masuda: and he was one of them
[02:53:06] Koji_Masuda: a wise man once said
[02:53:15] Koji_Masuda: If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen

[02:54:18] Koji_Masuda: gaming_girlie: true story
[02:54:45] Koji_Masuda: I'd like to add that I'm sober and don't do drugs anymore before anyone starts getting ideas
[02:54:57] ChozoGuardian: XD
[02:55:22] gaming_girlie: i wouldn't call myself sober... but i definitely don't do hard drugs
[02:55:32] gaming_girlie: like crack or coke or meth or heroin
[02:55:38] ChozoGuardian: alchohol

[02:56:20] ChozoGuardian: yeah
[02:57:12] ChozoGuardian: do you know the Storm Eagle level song from megaman x?

[03:05:51] ChozoGuardian: now it's cold
[03:06:19] Koji_Masuda: anyways, thoughts on the PS3
[03:06:27] gaming_girlie: eh
[03:06:31] gaming_girlie: too expensive
[03:06:44] gaming_girlie: might get it in a few years
[03:06:52] ChozoGuardian: way too expensive
[03:06:54] ChozoGuardian: besides
[03:07:01] ChozoGuardian: i already have a 360
[03:07:07] Koji_Masuda: I'm gonna get one when MGS4 comes out
[03:07:15] Koji_Masuda: <--- MG fanboy
[03:07:16] ChozoGuardian: and i'm not shelling out 600
[03:07:23] Koji_Masuda: well, its expensive now
[03:07:32] ChozoGuardian: MGS maybe coming to 360 ya know...
[03:07:34] gaming_girlie: hell no.. i spent 600 and got 2 systems
[03:07:39] ChozoGuardian: haha
[03:07:39] gaming_girlie: 360 and wii
[03:07:41] ChozoGuardian: truth
[03:07:49] Koji_Masuda: chozoGuardian: its not, that was just a rumor
[03:07:49] __VB: goodnight, must head to work
[03:07:56] ChozoGuardian: well
[03:08:08] *** Annie (annie@Blizz.hot.gamesurge) has signed off IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
[03:08:18] Koji_Masuda: the PS3 is a beast of a machine, sony actually loses money selling them
[03:08:19] ChozoGuardian: if they want to make a smart marketing decision they should try to go with the 360
[03:08:24] Koji_Masuda: however, give it a couple years
[03:08:29] *** __VB is now known as vb-.
[03:08:32] ChozoGuardian: i know 
[03:08:33] ChozoGuardian: but 
[03:08:39] *** vb- is now known as vb-workin.
[03:08:42] Koji_Masuda: the technology will be cheaper, but the price probably wont drop
[03:08:48] ChozoGuardian: it's hard for developers to utilize that power
[03:09:10] Koji_Masuda: Sony is known for having difficult stuff to work with
[03:09:13] Koji_Masuda: but once they get it down
[03:09:20] ChozoGuardian: the layout of the PS3 internally is asymmetrical you know that right?
[03:09:21] ChozoGuardian: meaning
[03:09:23] Koji_Masuda: it'll be killer
[03:09:28] *** PCHardWareGuy (PCHardWare@adsl-69-209-153-205.dsl.sfldmi.ameritech.net) has signed off IRC (Quit).
[03:09:57] ChozoGuardian: it's hard for the developers to utilize all of that power without spending alot of money on development costs
[03:10:22] Koji_Masuda: now don't get me wrong, I'm nintendo through and through, but I think its to early to rule the PS3 out
[03:10:43] ChozoGuardian: you don't necessarily always have to rule one out
[03:10:54] Koji_Masuda: everyone ruled the GC out :P
[03:10:59] ChozoGuardian: yeah 
[03:11:03] ChozoGuardian: that made me mad
[03:11:25] Koji_Masuda: yeah, I flipped out on quite a few gamestop employees for calling it "kiddy"
[03:11:33] ChozoGuardian: yeah
[03:11:47] ChozoGuardian: nintendo admitted they kinda rushed the cube
[03:11:55] Koji_Masuda: they didn't rush it
[03:11:58] ChozoGuardian: well
[03:12:00] Koji_Masuda: just made bad decisions
[03:12:02] ChozoGuardian: yeah
[03:12:03] ChozoGuardian: that
[03:12:05] Koji_Masuda: Nintendo is used to ruling the market
[03:12:09] *** Locutus (Locutus@GoLocutus.user.gamesurge) has left #xplay.
[03:12:14] Koji_Masuda: they needed to break that habit
[03:12:17] ChozoGuardian: and then sony comes around
[03:12:24] ChozoGuardian: and they get all outta whack
[03:12:53] ChozoGuardian: sony didn't win the last console war based on power, they did it through marketing decisions
[03:12:56] Koji_Masuda: like I said, Nintendo is used to ruling the market, and its that through process that kinda screwed them over
[03:13:04] ChozoGuardian: yeah
[03:13:05] Koji_Masuda: *thought
[03:13:24] Koji_Masuda: their own ignorance spawned the PS
[03:13:32] ChozoGuardian: yeah i know the story
[03:13:56] ChozoGuardian: about nintendo being so stubborn
[03:14:06] Koji_Masuda: they didn't think it would become a major contender so they let it go. . until the PS2/GC/Xbox period
[03:14:23] ChozoGuardian: haha
[03:14:24] Koji_Masuda: of course they went into that one with their usual thought process
[03:14:27] ChozoGuardian: what if
[03:14:45] ChozoGuardian: they did come out with the disk snes/ps thing
[03:14:46] Koji_Masuda: of course no one expected the X Box to become a major contender either
[03:15:00] Koji_Masuda: well, it wasn't just going to be a disk drive attachment to the SNES
[03:15:07] ChozoGuardian: i know
[03:15:09] Koji_Masuda: it was going to be a full on system
[03:15:17] ChozoGuardian: oh
[03:15:39] ChozoGuardian: did you know that the sound card for the snes was actually made by sony
[03:15:40] ChozoGuardian: haha
[03:16:00] Koji_Masuda: Nintendo started fcking up around the end of the SNES
[03:16:15] ChozoGuardian: yeah
[03:16:22] Koji_Masuda: of course with all the money they've made off the NES and SNES and GB, they can afford to make a failed console or two
[03:16:31] ChozoGuardian: but it was still (in my opinion) one of the best systems
[03:16:35] Koji_Masuda: it was
[03:16:48] ChozoGuardian: third party support.....
[03:16:56] ChozoGuardian: it makes or breaks a system
[03:17:06] ChozoGuardian: gamecube is a prime example
[03:17:34] Koji_Masuda: of course, third party makes the games first party doesn't
[03:17:43] ChozoGuardian: yeah i know
[03:17:55] ChozoGuardian: their are company specific developers though
[03:17:59] ChozoGuardian: like
[03:18:08] Koji_Masuda: the third party developers got sick of Nintendo's ways so they said fck it
[03:18:15] ChozoGuardian: retro studios
[03:18:19] Koji_Masuda: why mini disks?
[03:18:20] ChozoGuardian: yeah
[03:18:26] ChozoGuardian: nintendo
[03:18:30] ChozoGuardian: being stubborn
[03:18:32] ChozoGuardian: like i said
[03:18:45] ChozoGuardian: don't get me wrong
[03:18:46] Koji_Masuda: the same reason with cartidges
[03:18:48] ChozoGuardian: i love nintendo
[03:18:50] ChozoGuardian: yeah
[03:19:14] ChozoGuardian: they were stubborn and didn't want to move on so they stayed cartridge
[03:19:15] ChozoGuardian: but
[03:19:18] Koji_Masuda: no
[03:19:22] Koji_Masuda: it was so they can make more money
[03:19:25] ChozoGuardian: the 64 did do relatively well

[03:20:04] Koji_Masuda: in order to make a game on a Nintendo system, the developers needed Nintendo cartridges which Nintendo would sell
[03:20:07] ChozoGuardian: cartridges were way more expensive to manufacture too
[03:20:15] Koji_Masuda: one company tried getting around that called Tengen
[03:20:16] Kricket: i hate cd's
[03:20:22] ChozoGuardian: yeah
[03:20:27] ChozoGuardian: tengen
[03:20:27] Koji_Masuda: Nintendo took them to court and took all their money
[03:20:29] Kricket: too afraid they won't work with the slightest touch

[03:21:04] Koji_Masuda: just look at the Wii
[03:21:07] ChozoGuardian: yeah nintendo said either it's their way or the hell with them
[03:21:12] Koji_Masuda: its an upgraded GC
[03:21:16] ChozoGuardian: true
[03:21:22] Koji_Masuda: and look how well its doing
[03:21:28] ChozoGuardian: i know
[03:21:32] ChozoGuardian: makes me wonder
[03:21:42] Koji_Masuda: they've broken their "we own the buisness" thought process
[03:21:51] Koji_Masuda: and now they're starting to kick ass again
[03:21:55] ChozoGuardian: yeah
[03:21:58] Koji_Masuda: however
[03:22:27] Koji_Masuda: Sony is getting the "we own the buisness" thought process going
[03:22:31] Koji_Masuda: which spawned the PS3
[03:22:37] ChozoGuardian: they may do well this time around but they can't have the same plan next time, it'll come back to bite them
[03:22:38] ChozoGuardian: yeah
[03:22:40] ChozoGuardian: sony
[03:22:50] Koji_Masuda: however Ken Kutaragi has been pushed out of the picture because of it XD
[03:22:50] ChozoGuardian: does think they are the power beast rulers
[03:23:15] Koji_Masuda: he's still apart of the company
[03:23:21] ChozoGuardian: sony kinda makes/made me mad with their arrogance ya know
[03:23:24] Koji_Masuda: just not allowed to make real major decisions anymore XD
[03:23:37] ChozoGuardian: especially before the consoles even came out
[03:23:42] ChozoGuardian: yeah
[03:23:49] Koji_Masuda: ChozoGaurdian: all the companies are guilty of it
[03:23:53] Koji_Masuda: history repeats itself
[03:23:57] Koji_Masuda: just look at Atari
[03:23:59] ChozoGuardian: in some or fashion yeah
[03:24:03] ChozoGuardian: form*
[03:24:15] Koji_Masuda: I think back, and I think the only one that didn't think like that was Sega
[03:24:25] Koji_Masuda: however, nice guys finish last
[03:24:31] Koji_Masuda: buisness is buisness
[03:24:32] ChozoGuardian: sega
[03:24:36] ChozoGuardian: yeah
[03:24:53] ChozoGuardian: you think they'll ever make a comeback?
[03:24:59] Koji_Masuda: who knows
[03:25:02] ChozoGuardian: idk
[03:25:18] ChozoGuardian: with the recent sonic games and sales, it's kinda iffy
[03:25:28] Koji_Masuda: they've been milking their cash crop *cough*cough*sonic*cough*cough* so much it doesn't seem like it
[03:25:37] ChozoGuardian: my point exactly
[03:25:38] Horrorfest: sonic and mario teaming up now :S
[03:25:49] Koji_Masuda: Horrorfest: not entirely true
[03:26:07] ChozoGuardian: sonic and mario is like sega surrendering
[03:26:10] Horrorfest: they r in a game together now..  or did they cancel it?
[03:26:15] Koji_Masuda: Sega puts out games on all the consoles except for Sony
[03:26:25] ChozoGuardian: yeah i noticed that....hmmmm
[03:26:32] Koji_Masuda: but Microsoft is also on Nintendo's good side
[03:26:37] ChozoGuardian: i know
[03:26:44] Koji_Masuda: I mean, Sega is gearing more towards Nintendo
[03:26:49] ChozoGuardian: well
[03:26:55] Koji_Masuda: however they will put a few games out on the X-Box
[03:26:58] Horrorfest: what nintendo did good, un like atari was have the licensing system, for approval..
[03:27:03] ChozoGuardian: they gave and are giving great support to the 360
[03:27:13] Horrorfest: atari had to many backyarders gettin in makin junk games.. thats what killed it
[03:27:31] ChozoGuardian: condemned was k and full auto (blah) but the point is it has some support
[03:27:48] Horrorfest: sega makes good games, bad systems though.. dreamcast was best one they made..
[03:27:56] Koji_Masuda: nonsense
[03:28:06] ChozoGuardian: dreamcast was ahead of its time if you ask me
[03:28:16] Koji_Masuda: Dreamcast was ahead of its time
[03:28:27] ChozoGuardian: internet gameplay
[03:28:33] Koji_Masuda: Sega blew a lot of money with Shenmue, and I think that was part of the problem
[03:28:35] Horrorfest: yep
[03:28:42] ChozoGuardian: yeah
[03:28:49] ChozoGuardian: i liked that game though
[03:28:49] ChozoGuardian: but
[03:29:07] Koji_Masuda: it was kinda under the radar
[03:29:07] ChozoGuardian: sega had too many damn consoles in production at once
[03:29:12] Koji_Masuda: Sega didn't advertise it too well
[03:29:13] ChozoGuardian: therefore
[03:29:21] ChozoGuardian: they lost an assload of money
[03:29:39] ChozoGuardian: i think
[03:29:55] ChozoGuardian: microsoft made an alright decision killing the xbox off fast
[03:30:00] ChozoGuardian: in a way
[03:30:01] Horrorfest: sega was a hardware company..
[03:30:06] Horrorfest: 80%
[03:30:24] ChozoGuardian: yeah
[03:30:25] Koji_Masuda: Microsoft didn't kill off the X-Box, they wanted to stay in the game 
[03:30:34] Horrorfest: xbox was killedoff too soon
[03:30:41] ChozoGuardian: they knew they had to move on though
[03:30:56] Horrorfest: took over a year before anyone could make desent stuff for 360, no one wanted to do it, and less wanna do it for ps3
[03:30:59] ChozoGuardian: they didn't want to lose money and repeat failures of others
[03:31:01] Koji_Masuda: well, yeah, most systems are killed off before they reach their peak
[03:31:09] Horrorfest: some companies refuse to make them period.. lol
[03:31:18] Koji_Masuda: but if they don't keep updating they'll fall behind
[03:31:26] ChozoGuardian: true
[03:31:38] Horrorfest: but its when u try to update without progress that kills it.. like 1983
[03:31:46] ChozoGuardian: atari
[03:32:02] Koji_Masuda: the X-Box 360 is a better system than X-Bos you know 
[03:32:07] Koji_Masuda: *box
[03:32:08] Horrorfest: it is
[03:32:11] Horrorfest: ps3 though
[03:32:14] ChozoGuardian: not only power
[03:32:15] ChozoGuardian: but
[03:32:31] ChozoGuardian: better intellectual property 
[03:32:44] Horrorfest: someone spends 700, then finds out in 2 years.. no games, or lack ther of... only takes one bite like that, so hold back on the spending..
[03:32:50] ChozoGuardian: way more developers on their side
[03:33:01] ChozoGuardian: this time around
[03:33:02] Koji_Masuda: like I said, the PS3 is going to be a long term success
[03:33:05] Horrorfest: it was a pissin contest with sony and microsoft.. wasnt the bigger picture lost a bit lol
[03:33:19] ChozoGuardian: maybe 
[03:33:23] ChozoGuardian: idk yet
[03:33:26] Koji_Masuda: just watch
[03:33:34] Koji_Masuda: the hardware is going to take some time to learn
[03:33:36] Koji_Masuda: but once it is
[03:33:37] Horrorfest: whats inside ps3 makes it a long term investment.. but. dreamcast was too.. lol
[03:33:42] Koji_Masuda: it will be a contender :(
[03:33:48] Horrorfest: xbox will rule :D
[03:33:52] Koji_Masuda: no, the Dreamcast was powerfull
[03:33:53] ChozoGuardian: i'm still not getting one
[03:33:58] ChozoGuardian: i've made my decision
[03:33:59] Horrorfest: exactly
[03:34:02] Horrorfest: just like ps3..
[03:34:21] Koji_Masuda: the Dreamcast was successful until the hype of the PS2 killed it :P
[03:34:23] ChozoGuardian: ps3 i don't think was thought through as much as it should've been
[03:34:53] ChozoGuardian: they tried to be the power house of this generatoin
[03:34:56] Koji_Masuda: everyone thought the Dreamcast would win, but the PS2 quickly gained the upper hand with all its hype
[03:34:58] ChozoGuardian: generation*
[03:35:02] Horrorfest: correct
[03:35:09] ChozoGuardian: yeah
[03:35:19] Koji_Masuda: the PS2 is more powerful than the dreamcast 
[03:35:20] ChozoGuardian: dreamcast just wasn't destined to win sadly
[03:35:32] Horrorfest: ya like the 360 will.. sony rocked with psone.. get a taste of blood and u will trek ahead for the hunt... 
[03:35:43] Horrorfest: sony had good idea, but i think internally they will suffer..
[03:35:53] Horrorfest: not internally with the ps3 hardware either
[03:35:53] Koji_Masuda: Sony has enough money
[03:35:56] ChozoGuardian: i think the way they will fall
[03:35:58] ChozoGuardian: is by
[03:36:11] ChozoGuardian: loss of the tons of developers on their side
[03:36:19] Koji_Masuda: they're a major electronics producer besides just systems, keep that in mind :P
[03:36:24] Koji_Masuda: when you think CD player, what do you think?
[03:36:26] Koji_Masuda: Sony
[03:36:27] Horrorfest: sony is already down 8 points on market share alone, not touching there gaming devision lol
[03:36:29] ChozoGuardian: yeah but
[03:36:33] ChozoGuardian: gaming specific
[03:36:35] Horrorfest: their*
[03:36:37] ChozoGuardian: microsoft
[03:36:40] ChozoGuardian: ya know
[03:36:41] Koji_Masuda: you have to look at the big picture to understand
[03:36:48] ChozoGuardian: but nintendo 
[03:36:51] ChozoGuardian: gaming only
[03:36:51] Horrorfest: microsoft, if ur gonna touch basis on $$$ for gaming
[03:36:59] ChozoGuardian: they own the handheld market however
[03:37:04] Koji_Masuda: yep
[03:37:07] Horrorfest: can take 4 times the risk sony could...
[03:37:21] ChozoGuardian: if they wanted too
[03:37:33] Koji_Masuda: thats bad buisness ethic though
[03:37:38] Horrorfest: then again sony with psone.. was takin a risk and it took off..
[03:37:39] Horrorfest: prob is
[03:37:50] Horrorfest: 14 year olds dont wanna pay $$$ like that, or should i say parents..
[03:38:04] Koji_Masuda: the playstation was already built :|
[03:38:06] Horrorfest: they do this shortage on release.. cause it makes people doubting it, camp in front of a wal mart
[03:38:07] Horrorfest: lol
[03:38:08] Horrorfest: marketing
[03:38:12] ChozoGuardian: $ 600 is quite the investment
[03:38:16] ChozoGuardian: for such a risk
[03:38:22] ChozoGuardian: ya know
[03:38:23] Koji_Masuda: they didn't want those things cramping up warehouses so they said what the hell, we developed them, may as well try to sell them
[03:38:29] ChozoGuardian: you wanna try to pick the most stable
[03:38:36] ChozoGuardian: not try to predict
[03:39:09] Horrorfest: well sony made hardware, the psone, cause they didnt agree with nintendo and the agreement on software issues
[03:39:09] Koji_Masuda: no one expected Sony to become so powerful in the console market, not even they did
[03:39:20] Koji_Masuda: wrong
[03:39:24] Koji_Masuda: Nintendo screwed them over
[03:39:27] Horrorfest: sony was just supposed to make disks for nintendos new systems, and get pants pulled down on $
[03:39:33] ChozoGuardian: they did screw them over
[03:39:34] Koji_Masuda: wrong again
[03:39:50] ChozoGuardian: they partenered with Phillips
[03:40:00] Koji_Masuda: 89 Sony and Nintendo signed a contract. Sony would develop a system with nintendo
[03:40:03] ChozoGuardian: and made a disk system but it was awful
[03:40:31] Horrorfest: ya thats correct.. but nintendo didnt wanna make games for it at all though..
[03:40:36] Koji_Masuda: Sony had been developing the playstation, then suddenly Nintendo announced that Phillips would create a disk drive system for them
[03:40:44] Horrorfest: yes correct
[03:40:46] ChozoGuardian: i just said that lol
[03:40:49] Koji_Masuda: Nintendo thought about it
[03:41:17] Koji_Masuda: They were like "whelp, phillips sucks, and Sony would also get half the profit from this playstation"
[03:41:34] ChozoGuardian: so they dropped the whole thing
[03:41:42] ChozoGuardian: and went to cartridge
[03:41:43] Koji_Masuda: Phillips threatened to sue, so Nintendo gave them rights over their first party games

[03:41:47] Horrorfest: ps3
[03:41:52] Horrorfest: is gonna get ass raped in 2008
[03:41:53] Horrorfest: jk
[03:42:01] ChozoGuardian: you don't know that :P
[03:42:06] Koji_Masuda: Sony was like "well. .. we got all these consoles made and ready to be shipped. .. . may as well sell them"
[03:42:06] Horrorfest: no its my opinion
[03:42:13] Horrorfest: if we knew future we wouldnt be discussin this
[03:42:18] ChozoGuardian: yeah the PS
[03:42:20] Horrorfest: neither would sony and microsoft
[03:42:20] Horrorfest: lol
[03:42:31] Horrorfest: psone was good though
[03:42:35] Horrorfest: die hard i loved that game
[03:42:38] ChozoGuardian: a good overview is
[03:42:48] ChozoGuardian: competition makes better consoles
[03:42:52] Koji_Masuda: yep
[03:42:54] Horrorfest: and parasite eve
[03:43:02] Koji_Masuda: however it also keeps consoles from reaching their peak :P
[03:43:08] ChozoGuardian: in a way
[03:43:11] Koji_Masuda: the good and the bad, can't have one without the other
[03:43:22] Koji_Masuda: RE4 was just a taste of the GC's power
[03:43:28] ChozoGuardian: but competition also causes price drops 
[03:43:45] Horrorfest: only reason i put off a 360 at the time
[03:43:52] Koji_Masuda: price drops are all about supply and demand
[03:43:52] Horrorfest: was i couldnt play my xbox games on it
[03:43:55] Horrorfest: not most of them
[03:43:58] ChozoGuardian: well yeah
[03:44:13] ChozoGuardian: but i don't mind hookin up the old box once in a while
[03:44:14] Horrorfest: i have 279.... if it was backwards compatible i would have been on it..
[03:44:20] ChozoGuardian: i mean yeah
[03:44:21] Horrorfest: ya i leave mine hooked up..
[03:44:31] ChozoGuardian: it's more convenient but
[03:44:42] ChozoGuardian: is it worth paying more for that support
[03:44:47] Horrorfest: i dont play it as much, son does though.. but i kept buyin and never sellin...
[03:44:52] Horrorfest: ps3 is backwards no?
[03:44:55] * Koji_Masuda sighs "sometimes I wonder if I know to much. . .maybe become a gaming journalist or something"
[03:44:57] Horrorfest: for psone too?
[03:45:03] ChozoGuardian: yeah
[03:45:10] ChozoGuardian: i thought of journalism
[03:45:13] Horrorfest: :S
[03:45:17] ChozoGuardian: at one point
[03:45:27] ChozoGuardian: i like to really get in depth and argue
[03:45:54] ChozoGuardian: argue as in debate not anger lol :P
[03:46:37] Koji_Masuda: well its hard for me to get pissed off now unless someone is being a complete noob
[03:46:56] Koji_Masuda: then I let them have it
[03:47:20] ChozoGuardian: don't argue if you can't back it up that's all
[03:47:21] ChozoGuardian: lol
[03:47:35] Koji_Masuda: hmmm. .. 
[03:47:54] Koji_Masuda: how do you become a gaming journalist? is there some sort of special requirement or something?
[03:48:09] ChozoGuardian: noobs rather than rational thinkers just spout random crap like "LOL ya the PS3 is teh shit"
[03:48:14] ChozoGuardian: idk
[03:48:15] ChozoGuardian: really
[03:48:18] Koji_Masuda: true
[03:48:27] Horrorfest: so i am a n00b now huh huh, for havin an opinion
[03:48:33] ChozoGuardian: ?
[03:48:37] ChozoGuardian: i didn't call you one
[03:48:40] ChozoGuardian: unless
[03:48:44] Horrorfest: when u were in diapers i was playin atari2600  :P
[03:48:44] Koji_Masuda: no, just have a reason for your opinion
[03:48:48] Horrorfest: it was a jk
[03:48:57] ChozoGuardian: lol
[03:48:58] Horrorfest: i had a reason..i stated it clearly
[03:48:59] ChozoGuardian: you sure
[03:49:05] ChozoGuardian: mmk
[03:49:29] Koji_Masuda: meh, then again people are entitled to an opinion so who am i to talk. . .
[03:49:38] Koji_Masuda: that would make me an eliteist. .. .
[03:49:52] Koji_Masuda: can't be scaring away kids from games
[03:49:55] ChozoGuardian: well doesn't mean you have to listen now does it
[03:50:32] ChozoGuardian: kids now don't really know all the stories of the whole industry 
[03:50:35] ChozoGuardian: and it bothers me
[03:50:45] Horrorfest: so now i am a kid :P

[03:51:02] Kricket: what should they know?
[03:51:09] Kricket: all they care about is shooting each other
[03:51:17] Horrorfest: yep
[03:51:18] Koji_Masuda: Kricket has a point
[03:51:27] ChozoGuardian: nowadays it's like little jimmy walks into store and buys generic game A because of a commercial
[03:51:28] Koji_Masuda: I like to call them. . .casual gamers
[03:51:32] Kricket: they aren't going to remember even if you do tell them
[03:51:49] Kricket: you aren't a real gamer until you have to support your habit on your own
[03:51:53] Kricket: without parents money
[03:51:58] Koji_Masuda: Kricket: true story
[03:52:09] ChozoGuardian: not because he knows the mechanics of the game but just because it's "flashy"
[03:52:17] ChozoGuardian: so
[03:52:20] ChozoGuardian: my point is
[03:52:22] Kricket: i don't buy many games now a days
[03:52:28] Kricket: too many crappy ones
[03:52:48] Koji_Masuda: Kricket: yeah. .. 
[03:52:57] ChozoGuardian: the winner of the console wars will probably be the best marketing skills
[03:52:58] Koji_Masuda: its true, to many games are too alike today
[03:53:07] ChozoGuardian: as usual
[03:53:08] Kricket: how many mmo's are coming out this year?
[03:53:16] Koji_Masuda: well there's conan
[03:53:19] Koji_Masuda: Warhammer 40k
[03:53:20] Kricket: and how many FPS online kill each other games?
[03:53:21] Kricket: all the same
[03:53:32] Koji_Masuda: and a Lord of the Rings
[03:53:42] Kricket: hehe, the answer was: Too manyt
[03:53:43] Kricket: many*
[03:53:52] Kricket: over 50
[03:53:55] Koji_Masuda: 50?!
[03:53:57] Kricket: yup
[03:53:58] Koji_Masuda: jeebus
[03:54:03] Kricket: I KNOW
[03:54:07] ChozoGuardian: wow
[03:54:22] Kricket: and most of them will have a monthly fee
[03:54:32] Kricket: I might play one...for free, but I get bored after a while
[03:54:35] Koji_Masuda: well lets face it MMO's are a great way to cash in
[03:54:41] Kricket: yup
[03:54:42] ChozoGuardian: do you play WoW?
[03:54:45] Kricket: nope
[03:54:51] Koji_Masuda: its a game you keep paying for to play
[03:55:00] Kricket: more and more companies are producing what can make the most money, not what can entertain the most
[03:55:01] ChozoGuardian: i don't play it
[03:55:10] ChozoGuardian: yeah i know 
[03:55:18] Koji_Masuda: yeah, that will eventually lead to the death of the industry
[03:55:19] Kricket: i've played some really good games that have gotten very little coverage
[03:55:24] ChozoGuardian: very true
[03:55:26] Kricket: well...
[03:55:39] Kricket: right now a lot of gamers are getting into the industry
[03:55:43] Kricket: at all those schools
[03:55:48] ChozoGuardian: the true gamers become rarer and rarer leading to less inovation which in turn leads to nothingness
[03:55:50] Kricket: so maybe they will shed some light on it
[03:56:03] Koji_Masuda: maybe
[03:56:04] Kricket: I'm still gonna get pokemon though, can't lie
[03:56:06] Kricket: >_>
[03:56:11] ChozoGuardian: haha
[03:56:14] ChozoGuardian: it's alright

[03:56:18] Kricket: i want it
[03:56:24] Kricket: but I can'y buy anything at the moment
[03:56:29] Kricket: I'm trying to sell things
[03:56:38] Koji_Masuda: tis life :(
[03:56:42] Kricket: if i sell  my xbox and games tomorrow, i might get it
[03:56:45] Kricket: i knoes

[03:57:10] ChozoGuardian: i still have all my games though........
[03:57:14] ChozoGuardian: and it makes me sad

[03:57:20] ChozoGuardian: i have that
[03:57:24] Koji_Masuda: I defanetly suggest getting that
[03:57:32] Koji_Masuda: its bigger than all the others too

[03:58:06] Kricket: so...i don't see the point
[03:58:27] Koji_Masuda: I guess
[03:58:29] ChozoGuardian: mariokart ds was like crack to me at one point...
[03:58:44] Kricket: lol
[03:59:00] Kricket: i havent gotten a NEW new game in a while

[03:59:11] Koji_Masuda: Kricket: slim pickins
[03:59:17] ChozoGuardian: Guitar Hero II for 360
[03:59:38] Kricket: i know
[03:59:38] Koji_Masuda: hmmm, a music game for the Wii. . .
[03:59:44] ChozoGuardian: ooohhh

[03:59:53] ChozoGuardian: GH 3 is coming to Wii
[04:00:04] ChozoGuardian: it's official
[04:00:05] ChozoGuardian: but
[04:00:13] ChozoGuardian: i don't know how it's gonna be
[04:00:16] Koji_Masuda: yeah, but it you really need the guitar controller to truely experience it
[04:00:23] Koji_Masuda: unless they put a guitar controller on the Wii
[04:00:27] ChozoGuardian: they are
[04:00:29] Koji_Masuda: which  will probably happen
[04:00:29] ChozoGuardian: like
[04:00:39] Koji_Masuda: WiiJ would be the win
[04:01:00] Kricket: i won't be getting the wii for a while
[04:01:14] ChozoGuardian: the wireless controller would snap into the neck of the guitar and you use the wireless functionality of the wii-mote for the guitar
[04:01:27] Kricket: sounds cool
[04:01:30] ChozoGuardian: i'm probably not getting a Wii or PS3
[04:01:40] Kricket: I might get a 360 is GTA is good enough
[04:01:42] Koji_Masuda: I'm getting a PS3 for MGS4 :D
[04:01:43] Kricket: but i heard no planes
[04:01:49] Kricket: and i love my planes
