Awesome, rarely am I willing to post a comment if I am not entering a contest, but I just had to say how much I enjoyed reading that.

So if there is nothing in it for you, you wouldn't dare share your point or socialise online? What colour is the inside of your mums basement?

Wait. Why am i asking a question? You won't even reply ;)

That article made me crap my pants. In the best way possible.

I would love to find out the difference between the 'worst way possible' and 'best way possible' of shitting your pants.

You know those little trap-doors in the back of old-timey childrens' pajamas? There's the best way possible. Undo 2 buttons = problem solved. I'd say that those lube-your-legs-to-get-them-on leather pants are among the worst ways. That, or a space suit. Especially whilst in space. Though unleashing your shit into the vacuum gives new meaning to "evacuation."

It's like you know me aristokrat.

That was hilarious, Griffin. I LOL'ed! Bravo...

nicely done

Brilliant, you sir are a posting genius.

The Japanese really know their technology!
They're not fooled by the shiney FPS games and cheap ass price of the 360. They appreciate the future gaming technology that is the PS3. Halo doesn't cut it in the land of the rising sun.

Shame the West are proving themselves to be pretty much the opposite! Oooooooh, Halo kart! - I'm so going to buy a shit console that will probably die in a year so i can see my favourite shiney alien warrior again!

It worries me how retarded the general Western population is.

Does it count if I spend as much time playing Left 4 Dead and Halo 3 as I did playing Final Fantasy X?

No, wait... I've already spent more time in Halo 3 alone than I did in FFX, and I loved me some FFX back in the day.

I don't think choice in games is an indication of how retarded a population is.

Nor do I, I think buying a console that breaks, then buying another one that breaks, then buying another one is retarded.

Specially when the main selling point apart from the fact that it's as cheap as the shitbox it is, is "halo is teh roxorz."

Errorbox fanboys are literally encouraging MS to sell broken shit.

You go ... PSP

Didn't they say Wii was hitting its peak in sales and slowing down worldwide? Wasn't that on Joystiq recently?

Anywho, I still don't believe PS3 will be up there for long, but PSP's position looks pretty permanent.

Release Monster Hunter 3 for PSP and those figures will double. Release it for Wii and it will shoot right past anything above it.

That. Was. Perfect! The music was playing, I was reading. It seemed like the perfect match for length and reading speed for what actually happened in the battle of sales.

best post ever

Epic,
joystiq is so awesome

great job! most interesting method of introduction yet.
