@ neeecole

According to dictionary.com...

fag: Slang. a cigarette.

Microsoft consumers are comparable to cigarette consumers, thats why i used the word. I never used the word "faggots" so lets not jump to conclusions. And the word "idiot" is a light hearted word that I use to refer to Microsoft frenzied fanatics that have no common sense. This all started because your facts were completely unfounded in your post and your analogy was horrible. That fact that you are a chick was just a bonus. Nice meeting you, you can now return to play your pink PSP.

Yours Truly,

Help Line

P.S. Not promoting a band, trying to make you microsoft band wangon jumpers a little more open minded. Just happen to know the members of the sickest band I've seen in a while.

I don't even know what to say to you, Help Line. First of all, how in the world are people that buy xbox 360 games and accessories comparable to people buying cigarettes? You bash Neecole's analogy about cars, and then try to pass off your calling people 'fags' as comparing them to cigarette purchasers? Where is your logic in that?

Second of all, insulting people is no way to get anyone to listen to any band, be it yours or your friends or whatnot, and believe me (ahem, my band: www.myspace.com/wemakethunder)

Third of all, look under your posts. It lists your name. You do not have to sign every comment you make.

Dear Helpline,

For some people, it is easier to learn through analogies. The analogy that I made, makes sense to some people. My intention was to help people who don't understand the processes that these large companies go through when choosing marketing strategies. I am part of a Nintendo Community site, so I read about this daily. I fully understand Video Game Marketing Strategies, it is my responsibility to know as much as I can about the video game industry and to share my knowledge with others. Some people don't understand, so I decided to help them out. I did not just pull that out of my ass. If you don't understand what I was trying to say, you should do some research on the subject, before you tell me it doesn't make sense. There is a reason why Sony has such a strong fall lineup for PS2. Do you know what it is?

P.S. I said Pink DS Lite, not PSP.
The pink PSP has not been released yet.

smooches!

@ JodyAnthony

You must have a lot of time on your hands if your complaining about the way I format my comments. I really didn't want to have to put the XBOX 360 owners vs. cigarette consumers analogy together for you but here we go...People that buy cigarettes are looking for a quick fix and when they see Joe Camel on that massive billboard they can't resist the temptation so they run to their local 7-11 and buy a pack. Xbox 360 owners also like the quick fix, why else would they rush out and buy a 360? They saw that shiny new Microsoft logo on a billboard and couldn't resist. The majority of cigarette buyers are also low-income and can't afford the premium packs of cigarettes. Xbox360 owners are similar, not only can they not wait for a PS3 but if they did they wouldn't have the funds to purchase one. It's pretty self explainitory really. To rub it in, Sony is using idle PS3's to fight cancer for god's sake. Shall I continue?

Yours Truly,

Help Line

P.S. Your band sucks and if you're not finding the humor in my posts you're an idiot.

if we're making up arbitrary comparisons, I'll compare ps3 buyers to coked up businessmen:

they have so much money they don't mind throwing it away on something used for ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES. Sure, they could just buy beer, it's cheaper and it lets you have a fun night, but this is COCAINE! it costs WAAAAAY more then beer, so it must be better!

because we all know, the more something costs, the better it is, right?

and actually, I do have a lot of free time.

The point is, what do you have to gain by insulting people who want to buy an xbox? Feeling smug? I'd rather be accused of having too much free time than being a smug jerk.

Dear XdinnyX.... You have got to be kidding right? Tell us you're kidding, please, for your sake, just do it. Say, "guys, I'm joking around here, I'm not a creepy shit stain that hits on girls over the internet while I jerk off and chat on Joystiq. I'm not a guy that has a boner right now over Neecole, the uber geeky girl who's hot, and amazingly, likes video games more than me. That's not me you guys, seriously, you have to believe me... I like to talk to girls in person at bars, drink beer, watch sports sometimes, I like to actually touch girls boobs with my hands, real boobs, not ones that are on blow up dolls that I ordered from my moms computer in the basement. Please, you guys have to believe me, it was a joke. I'm cool, I don't like creeping out girls unless its' a goof....I'm not a total tool.....SHIIIIIT I JUST HIT ON A GIRL ONLINE AT A GAMING SITE...I AM A LOSER, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME, I'M WORTHLESS, AND THE BIGGEST LOSER I KNOW....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Ready? Start writing idiot.

I already said she is hot idiot...read your letter again. Tight that you're a lezbian. So are you one of the hot ones? Or are you one of the lezbians that wear hiking boots with wool socks, cargo shorts, a red flannel and a construction company hat with some yellow lensed shooting glasses? Either one is cool, and I'm down for whatever I guess, I'm just curious, I need a visual. Neecole gave us a visual, it's your turn...no seriously.........

xdinnyx why dont you grow up? You are getting made fun of because you suck at life. Nothing you do on a daily basis matters whatsoever. What do you think when you wake up in the morning? ... I know, I'll hit up joystiq.com today for about 6 hours and see if I can hit on some video game chicks. Then I'm going to make some comments to other posters about their mothers that doesn't make the least bit of sense... do us all a favor and run your car in the garage for a while.

I already put together a list.

Between now and the end of the year (assuming no delays) there are:
12 PS2 games I want to buy.
8 PSP games I want to buy.
3 360 games I want to buy.
4 GCN games I want to buy.
26! DS games I want to buy.
9 Wii games I want to buy.

Add to that there are 2 DS games I have been instructed that I must buy for my mother. Yeah, I think the DS wins, hands down.

That being said, if I could only buy one more video game this year, it would be Guitar Hero 2, so don't count the PS2 out yet. I suspect it will still be the #2 selling system this holiday season (right behind the DS, there simply aren't going to be enough Wiis or PS3s on the market to beat them).

Dude... Help Line. Shut up.

You post the most inanely stupid comments, then expect people to look up "your band" and give support?

And I gave Help Line a listen and they sound terribly generic. What's with this sudden influx of minimalistic repetition in recent years? Is it all of a sudden cool to use Casio keyboard beats and singing that sounds hopelessly sharp?

So did everyone hate the PS2 before, or did you just start hating it after E3 this year once Sony started being retarded. I never remember the old PS2 getting this much crap from people. Maybe it IS just the Sony hate going around (as justified as that may be).

There's only two games on there I give a damn about, Guitar Hero 2 and Okami. And I hate to say it, but with a limited budget, I don't think I'll bebuying. Too many 360 titles coming tht I want. Not to mention the Wii I need to buy.

How the fuck are some of you claiming the DS has a better fall/winter than the PS2? Between now and February the PS2 will be getting Okami, Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria, Bully, Final Fantasy XII, Guitar Hero 2, Metal Slug Anthology, Lumines Plus, Ar Tonelico, Children of Mana, Rogue Galaxy, and God of War 2 (plus the super fun Disgaea 2 that just came out).

All this on a system that came out a year BEFORE the XBOX and Gamecube, two systems that have been completely abandoned (except for Twilight Princess). This is why Sony can take as long as they damn well please in preparing the PS3.

"i think penny-arcade has it right on the money when it comes to FFXII....it's been a slippery slope for FF for a while now, losing more and more pure gameplay every installment"

Oh please. Famitsu gave FFXII a perfect score. I would trust their judgment sliiiiiiiightly more than some web comic's.

Also, FFX is by far my favourite in the series. The most complex and engaging story, the funnest gameplay, the vastest end-game content...not even to mention fabulous graphics.

If I owned every console, the top 3 games I would buy would be
1. FFXII
2. Guitar Hero 2
3. Vice City Stories

long before any of the other ones. Way, waaaaay before. Oblivion would crack that list, but I'm going to buy it for my computer when I get the time, so the 360 doesn't get much in the way of bragging rights there. PS2 over PS3, 360, and WAY over the Wii, pour moi.

It's obvious. The Gamecube has the best launch lineup. It has... umm... Baiten Kaitos Origins (never played the other one)... uhh... Twilight Princess... which is also coming out on the Wii... Mario Solitare? Yeah, the Gamecube is the best hands down.

On Phantasy Star Universe:

"Currently number one on the Japan multiformat chart, and for good reason."

Yeah, the reason being that FF3 is sold out everywhere.

3.Phantasy Star Universe
4.Forza 2

6.Eragon
7.Call of Duty 3

nambit from Msg #50:
[[50. I disagree with this blog entry.

It looks like the 360, PS2, Wii, DS, and maybe even PSP all have a great line-up. It's a matter of taste of which one is "best" but it's clear that they're all good and fans of each will be happy.

Me? I'm gonna be smokin some WiiDS. Of course I'll be picking up a few of those PS2 games as well.]]

Hahahahahaha! :-D
Thanks for incorporating my little catchphrase, nambit.

"WiiDS"
http://www.n-philes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29318

I thought of it when reading about the incomprehensible DS sales juggernaut that goes on from week to week on the Japanese charts listings.

Immediately, knowing what I know about the potential of the Wii, I instantly saw Wii pulling similar styled showing on those charts.

Then naturally I put the two together knowing it was gonna be basically nothing but Wii & DS on the charts for the next 5 years & voila!

A new catchphrase was coined "WiiDS".
Then all the little sayings I came up with from that little joke.
I particularly liked "WiiDS: Yes, Clinton inhaled"
LOL! Inspired!
I hope it takes off similar to the Wii60.

You must be an N-Philes.com patron. :-)
Thanks again for adopting the catchphrase.
