So Ive been depraved of the Inturwebs for (what feels like an eternity but is) almost a week now and man am I starved!
In other news: My request for student funding by those bastards over at CSN (Center for Student assNailing) was denied, my employer has seen fit to not pay me, my girlfriend is leaving for Växjö tomorrow, I have an exam on Friday which will have an outcome that more or less will determin my future and i haven’t payed my rent for a month so I’ll probably be evicted soon.
Poor me? Hell no!
I have played the Bioshock demo at my brothers, and it is most awesome i must say! I’m just a little sad that you play a hacker/psi-dude/gun slinger and not one of the three. Still though it looks to be worthy to the System Shock linage. This coupled alongside Halo 3 supporting 4player coop + the fact that I’m broke has led me to this result: I am going to have to rob me a 360-owner and/or bank!
And for the next part of this rant I give you.
Sony PlayStation, those utter fuckheads!
I do not mind the PS3 console it self and know that the PS3 and everything around it has been flamed, but I would like to have a go at Sony PlayStation. This summer I’ve been taking support calls from Sony PlayStation customers that reside in Sweden/Norway/Denmark. And man have the PS3 owners been fucked over, and they know it. How and why the hell have Sony decided that now would be a good time for a price drop!? Not six months after the European release they knock of 500SEK to the price and throw in an extra six axis and two games for good measure. At the release you received the console a controller and a free movie if you were quick to register.
Not only is this a big FUCK YOU to the early buyers but it’s the some of the worst timing I have seen. They haven’t got a title worth mentioning and no big or exclusive releases in the near future. Meanwhile the 360 is going down in price, is still way cheaper and has a handful knock-out titles just around the corner. And here I thought the people over at Sony were great at the art of business. With there excellent marketing stunts and fine eye for commercials they have made a profit all these years and then poof PS3 and no more profit. Tossers!
And I’m spent
SEX MAKES BABIES!!!

I couldn’t agree more. Haven’t Sony made some plans to compensate the early buyers like Microsoft did when they lowered the price on the Xbox? The way I remember it they offered a few selected games as compensation and a sign of good will. But like you’ve mentioned… It’s Sony we’re talking about. The only company that cares less about their customers than Nintendo.
GIR writes
But you didn’t mention MGS4 in your rant. It’s not very close in the future, but approx 6-8 months left to the scheduled release makes it worth mentioning. Don’t it?

I don’t remember mircosoft lowering the xbox-price, I’m sure I would have taken advantage of a free games-offer…
GIR writes
I’m pretty sure they did. I’m not talking about the 360. Didn’t the price of the first Xbox drop pretty radical some time after the launch? And by registering and proving that your console was bought before a set date you got some compensation.
Henke writes
well THAT is possible, one assumed you was talking about the 360.
Actually I believe you could chose either Jet Set Radio Future or Sega GT as compensation.
Henke writes
But you got them as “bundle copies” without case nor manual if memory serves. Like the ones you sometimes get with graphic cards.
GIR writes
That may be the case. But still I think that it’s a whole lot better than the way Sony treats their customers. Like Barger said “this a big FUCK YOU to the early buyers” and I couldn’t agree more. A lot of people rant Microsoft saying that they’re the greedy ones. But they show a lot more good will than Sony and Nintendo.

Ah Gir you solid snake looking maddor! I heard (screwattack.com) that during a press conference in Germany some mister in the MGS4 team expressed that they are open minded on launching their game on “other systems” e.g the 360. Oh and 6-8months is not close when you have Bioshock out and Halo3, Mass Effect and Assasins Creed just around the corner. Sooo hopefully you’ll get to play an androgynous Japanese super-soldier on the old box aswell! So sure it’s a big release but with potential of being a not so exclusive title. I guess that konami and sony aint that close anymore ;D
GIR writes
Well, that’s o so good news for me! My intentions to invest in one PS3 was based solely on the fact that MGS4 would be exclusive. But I’ve heard that to and the fact that MGS2 isn’t exclusive boosts the probability a few notches. But on the other hand, MGS3 is still exclusive to the PS2 and I haven’t heard any news of any release on another platform. And you seriously can’t consider Halo 3 an interesting release!? What is it this time, crotch-gun!? ;D
Henke writes
Actually it’s four player co-op, I’d say that makes it an interesting release.
GIR writes
Indeed it does! I’ve intentionally let this title pass by somewhat unnoticed. But maybe it’s time for me to open my eyes for what could be the best Halo title yet to come. =)

To come clean in all my bashing, the ps3 has Lair and war hawk coming out. but! First of all it feels like it’s the same game only one is fantasy and the other is retro-future-thingy. Your still flying around on a flying-thing killing other flying things. Secondly they are not comming out for a while. Lastly they haven’t been getting great preview/reviews from the interweb dudes.
Henke writes
Lair is a big pile.
Warhawk looks like it could be fun though.
Mr AFK writes
Well, that Bioshock was mighty impressive. Too bad that jerk still haven’t sent me my xbox360 ;D
Barger writes
Hahah new mgs4 movie out presenting you with Solid Ass-hat holding his sidearm like a fairy
Henke writes
hey hey, what’s with the mgs4-bashing all of a sudden?
The Mad Hatter writes
Well.. look at the picture, he does hold it in a very gay “I broke my wrist”-way.
Henke writes
well that may be, he usually rests his gunhand on his other hand (where he holds a knife), I’m not particularly upset about it… I’m just astounded at the amount of comments on this post!
Somebody post tallcat liek nao!!
Barger writes
you fanboy you!

ZOMFG!!

I’m revising my bioshock statement (about the mixed player class) after having played the game at my brothers. You can define your character with the plasmids to a point.
Boy what a great game… it makes me sad, i have no economix
Johnny Roecker writes
Well i kinda hate me 360, mostly bicause it says:
1. “WRRRROOOOOAAAAAAMMMMM, im ze F-16!”
2. “Fuck you im shutting down now!”
But it also gives me love mainly due to 360 ownership excludes barger and dawgy.
PC City is selling BIOSHOCK för 498 SEK incl. shipping. I like.
Johnny Roecker writes
And ahh yees, the 360 is also to be liked cause the controller wont send you into early retirement diognosed wrecked left thumb. Yes doctor?
Henke writes
the 498 SEK Bioshock, sure that isn’t the PC-version?
The 360 controller is most awesome, except the D-pad which is a travesty.
Henke writes
And if your 360 shuts down as often as your comment implies I bet that you’ll see red rings soon. The popular opinion currently seems to be that as the intense heat (due to the small fans) warps the mainboard the glue can’t withstand it and shifts, causing failure. I have no idea if that’s true or not, but this video is cool: http://one.revver.com/watch/355526
Johnny Roecker writes
498 SEK for 360 version. However if its in stock or not is an untold story by PC city.
Barger writes
yeah my brother bought it får 499:- got nice metal-box. If u get the red ring johnny try the towel-trick
Johnny Roecker writes
where did barger jr buy it?
Johnny Roecker writes
and yes,
i called xbox support yesterday, and as all swedish “agents” were occupied ended up at some iraqi call center. a hardly understandable guy tried to convince me to run my box for a day without the hdd. hell no! a 360 premium w/o hdd = 360 core = system for gay monkeeys. im certainly not one of those. then one might wonder: how can 130 000 us troops not manage to put an end to this institution of madness?
Barger writes
johnny, you bring the awesomeness!
and i’ll look into where he bought it
Johnny Roecker writes
ahh el gigantico, but of course sir!
