"A champion's denial. "Gorgeous line. The comparison of mindsets with Serena vs Roger is an interesting one and you're right. Federer gets away with it because he's so likeable and has so much charisma whereas Serena just grits her teeth and grinds through the interviews.Anyways, on the mindset note, most super elite competitors of any physical sport have this same mindset you're describing. You have to, it's part of the reason they're at the top. People really underestimate how important confidence, or the mental side of sports, is to being the best. It's not just Serena, it's not just Roger, it's Jordan, it's Kobe, it's of those super elite competitors that a part of a sport that has a significant 1 vs 1 individual aspect.

"Cain just looked at me. Right about then it felt like both of us were wondering what the hell my problem was."

ROFL. Genius line

"For the past few years, journalists in both the gaming and mainstream press (Joystiq included)"

You're not mainstream and you're not journalists. You're paid bloggers. Get a degree in writing or journalism and I'll give you some leeway.

"oh my god, Joystiq is so bias! Look at that picture, they're so pro-Boll and anti-Nintendo."

sigh, what are you talking about? get over yourselves...

what are you guys talking about...what exactly is weird about this besides the fact that it's some random japanese anime rpg? i don't understand how this seems so out of this world to you, just looks like a star ocean jr. do you know that game? no? k. well i don't even see any old men in diapers which usually constitutes the "yeah, that's japanese wackiness" factor. at least research it a little before leaving the rest "up to us"

i mean for god's sake man, just check the side panel in video on youtube. there's 'bout a dozen videos that say TALES OF WORLD PSP TRAILER. but wait, that tells you nothing, sorry you're right. go ahead and call it Fable Lite. and add a reference to old navy while you're at it (seriously, WTF?). your blog entry is more random than this video, i'm sorry.

C'mon now, why you dissing EGM? EGM is one of the few, last few gaming mags that actually have decent content (GH2 demo comes to mind). Give them some cred...

...I'd like to see Joystiq publish a magazine (no, really)

Uhh...aren't you guys jumping the gun a little here? When Henderson said that, I really don't think he was being literal...

Even if they are sequels, you can't help but be amazed by Wii's lineup. I mean c'mon! They got the new Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and Smash Bros?! That's insane! And I never even owned a Gamecube! With Assassin's Creed going to 360 as well, the ONLY reason I have to buy the PS3 is because of the juggernaut known as Final Fantasy but that's no where near being finished.

well there you it 10, proving my point. you stop playing because it felt to different back then. now ppl that play 1.6 feel the exact same way.

They really need to revamp the actual gameplay. It's sad that CS1.6 is outnumbers CS:S by far in popularity. This is mainly because it became too much like a different game and didn't retain the "feel" of the old CS. It just another modern shooter with a CS costume on.
