We last left off where Seth decided to go to Valor on his black dragon Erath. And when he got there...And if anyone forgot the story, Kyan found his long lost friend Seth on Valor, and his black dragon Erath. Kyan is a mamkute that can still use swords as well as dragon stone attack.
Welcome to BEHG. We hope you enjoy your trip through our cesspool of hatred and lies.

Console gaming is so strong nowadays its ridiculous. 360 and Wii are selling so fucking much. You guys need to get your facts straight or something.

Just because something's selling well doesn't mean I have to like it.

But that doesn't mean anything in regards of the future of gaming, which, FYI, is perceived as great.

Seriously, I read an article in the news paper where both Sony and Nintendo were expecting a huge boom in gaming in the next two years and preparing console releases in China, and several South American countries.

Regardless of how successful something is, if it's a new direction and someone doesn't like it, then that's that. I don't much enjoy all these Wii Sports and Mario & Sonic Olympics games at all, so I don't play my Wii much aside from SMG (still haven't gotten all the stars with Luigi), SSBB, and the retro games. Well, I don't have my Wii with me in Japan anyway so I won't be able to play my own system for about a year...

The DS doesn't disappoint one bit on the hardcore games front, though.

You're entitled to your opinion, I never said anything about that. I was adresssing the future of gaming being grim bit, which is definitely false, even if you don't like how it looks.

Nobody said the future of games was grim, though, just that they didn't like the way it was going.

And for the love of god, don't tell me I understood wrong and turn this into another retarded semantics debate. Most people don't directly factor sales into their personal opinion, so "going down the tubes" means it's a direction they don't find enjoyable. As far as I know, it's acceptable to use it in reference to personal opinions as well.

Let's agree that while games are selling well, it may be because of a direction some long-time gamers don't like.

I laugh at Sony's misfortune. They so deserve it.

Exactly how do they "deserve it"?

Well, they do deserve to fail for going forward with such a poor strategy on the Playstation 3. The PS1 and PS2 were both released first in their generations, and neither was excessively expensive nor had significant, experimental (for consumer adoption) hardware. They also screwed up by having merely 280,000 units at launch for Japan and the USA combined, waiting months to release in Europe, and something about believing people would buy the PS3 even if there were no games out for it.

Basically, PS3 is today's NEOGEO.

Mario died for me after the SNES. And I'm not a first person shooter freak and I don't really like sports games much. Also, the PSP can emulate PS1 games. PS1 was the greatest system ever made IMO.

DS had been a failure.. GBA had so many great games. DS has a few but I expected so much more. No games hold my mind hostage like Golden Sun and Fire Emblem. I've tried every interesting or hyped game on the DS and none have really interested me except for a few puzzle games. There are NO good RPGs.. Only good game is The World Ends With You.

I've heard nothing but great things about the PSP despite having limited knowledge. Everyone around me owns a PSP. My closer friends and family members all have PSPs.. Hell my cousin pretty much owns a hacking business and hacks PSPs for monies.. So many good RPGs and such for the PSP.. I'm so cheesed I'm missing out on it. I can only hope that the DS comes out with SOMETHING. Maybe the Sonic RPG or the new Fire Emblem remake..

360 is fucking HAX and nothing really holds a candle to it. It needs a few more quality RPGs but holy shit Final Fantasy. Oblivion was terribly boring.
Sports games are so much hax but that's a point for the PS3 aswell.

The Wii.. what can I say.. Maybe my parents would enjoy it.. The gimmick wears out quickly.. I swear to god I was DEAD SET on getting the Revolution until they switched to the fucking Wii gimmick. Atleast it has Smash Bros and Fire Emblem.

No comment on PS3 as I have never tried it. All I know is that most people who own PS3s have this tendency to defend it like a little girl and they for some reason think its better than the 360.. And they remind us 360 users about how cool the PS3 is.. lol suck my asshole Resistance and MGS4 is not worth missing out on the 360.
All eyes on me. Gather all who believe.

I can totally understand what he means by it, the very first time I played morrowind I was shit-for-nothing on what to do. I didn't really like the look of it, or anything, and even after reading the manual like twice I still was shit-for-nothing.

Then I played it a year later and spent at least 100 (not pointless meme insertion, i'm fucking serious about that) hours on it. i became the greatest dunmer assassin in vardenfell, fuck yeah. After I got bored with compiling my riches, I got one of every armor, weapon, etc, and then set out to kill everyone on the island, despite that it's like the size of australia

i did

tl;dr, morrowind/oblivion/etc games are boring if you don't know what you're doing, and even after you do get bored with that there's all sorts of shit you can do to fix your boredom. but different strokes for different folks overall i guess
moonies
 

sex as a self defense method

you never cease to amase me mad duck!

If most people had lots of responsible sex without social fear, then they'd probably lose interest cause it's not that great. Or maybe everyone would just end up awesome at it.

honestly all i played on GBA was fire emblem, and was always my reason for owning one. i didn't find out about srw until fairly recently and DS plays GBA games anyway. honestly GBA only had like RPG kind of games. DS pretty much has every genre covered with a good game if not more.

speaking of fire emblem, this is becoming a personal experience debate..... <_<
