Overheard at E3: fanboy disillusionment
May 11th 2006 10:18AM (Joystiq)You are hardcore gamers... if you weren't, you wouldn't be producing a wildly successful gaming blog. Thus, you've probably been playing games for double digit years... And, just like anyone who's been doing anything for a long time, you have trouble changing to a radical new idea because.. well, honestly, it's not what your used to. So, subconciously, you lash out a bit (only a little, because you want this change to really improve the drudgery that you have become accustomed to in your years and years of performing the same tasks over and over) at this change. "It's too sensitive", "It doesn't Feel right", "I'll have to wait and see more", "I don't see how it would work for X type of scenario".
Keep your heads up fellow gamers... I'm sure we'll all experience this with anything so radically new and different. It's like the mouse was when it was introduced... or even the typewriter. Something that so radically differnt that changes something that we've been doing one way for so many years takes a bit of time to get used to and a bit of time to come to use as our "regular tech" instead of the "new, untested tech".
Nintendo Revolution to be named Disruptocon?

Mar 7th 2006 9:07AM (Joystiq)I am 33 right now. I have a 7 year old boy and a 4 year old girl, a full time job and a beautiful wife. I have time for gaming alone, and with my friends. I especially have time for gaming with my children. It's a great family activity, that stimulates your mind and also stimulates discussion... moreso than current television programming... (i.e. anything on MTV, MTV2, E, BET, etc...etc...etc...).
Being a memeber of the first generation of gamers affords me the opportunity to teach the history of gaming to (the future primary form of entertainment, btw) my children. It aslo allows me to have a whole bunch of fun while at the same time spending quality time with my children... so, masters degree, job and life do not have to exclude gaming.
