lacking cleverness

For the record:

1. I own a PSP, and curse and lament the botch job Sony pulled on a promising system.

2. It should be clear that I was using hyperbole. Most PSP games are slightly more enjoyable than sticking a pinecone in ones nether regions. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

3. Re: Mr. Vandelay - I paid for a system I feel is receiving inadequate support. Thus, according to your logic, I should sell it, taking a good financial hit? How, exactly, is the PSP a fine multimedia machine? The library of games is dominated by lackluster ports. The movie format (UMD) is fading fast. Sony has consistently alienated homebrew developers by making the firmware more and more draconian. Does this strike you as a fine machine?

And furthermore, is Joystiq not a proper venue to complain about the PSP? I was under the impression that it was a videogame blog, and thus videogames were up for discussion. If this is not the case, and the PSP detractors interrupted a serious discussion of commodities trading, I sincerely apologize yet again.

...But the PSP doesn't have any good games.

A table of scientists has empirically proven that only 2 PSP games are more fun than a pinecone suppository.

They declined to name those games though, because scientists are a**holes.

Don't quite get why they're hyping the multiplayer. The allure of Metal Gear has always been the stories - love 'em or hate 'em, they're the draw. (Personally, I love 'em. MGS4 is the only thing making my decision not to buy a PS3 difficult.)

It just seems like multiplay is the antithesis of the series. Why include it?

@48:
That's what makes it all the more tragic.

Damn! Just noticed my last comment was derivative.
Sorry, James!

Somewhere, Mr. Period is crying alone, preparing to hang himself.

Your point, chris, was that Nintendo made bad peripherals. You claimed this list as evidence, and went on to claim the Wii controller would perform badly as well.

If we refute your evidence (your claim that 5/10s of the crappiest controllers were Nintendo-made, and thus Nintendo makes bad controllers), are we missing your point?

5/10? Try 3/10.

Three were actually made by Nintendo. There were others for the NES, but not manufactured by Nintendo.

By your logic, every bad game made for the NES was Nintendo's fault.

Reading! It's essential.

Man, has there been any good PS3 news in a while? It appears that even Sony partisans are deserting the ship.

While I am directly invested in the competition (I own a 360), this may be a good time to recall that the PS2 launch lineup was pretty lousy, while the Dreamcast was cheaper and had better games at the time.

(And yes, I owned a Dreamcast too.)

I pretty much guarantee it won't be worth watching.
I saw Periera's interview with Uwe Boll, and he was sycophantic to an annoying degree. I doubt he'll seriously debate Thompson.
Anyway, why do we not have anyone capable of forcefully articulating our (pro-gaming) stance? This guy is on news networks, and his wacky theories go uncontested. I would like to see his insane proclamations destroyed through use of logic, sense and statistics. Good Lord, the facts are on our side here.
