There is a lovely little article over at The Detroit News (yes yes, it’s a very unoriginal name for a newspaper, let’s get past it) titled Just what we need: Video games link Detroit, gang crime. The first thing that comes to mind is more “video games cause crime” gum flapping. A little Jack Thompson style video game bashing. That is not what the article is about. It’s a little more absurd than that. We’ll take this step by step, so I don’t loose you. This quote comes early in the article. Apparently, Detroit is a terrible city.
Eeee, yuck. I knew Detroit was a dirty stinky hell hole. I didn’t know there was so much danger there. Anyway, nothing about video games yet. Maybe later on. Oh, here’s something.
Okay, I see what that has to do with Detroit. Not that the “German arm of a Japanese company called Konami” sentence wasn’t confusing. The game features D12 from Detroit. Cultural to Detroit. Let’s read on.
Ummmmm. So the violence that you’re admitting exists in Detroit is being touted in a video game that doesn’t take place in Detroit? Even if the video game took place in a city called Detroit you couldn’t get angry, because you live in an admittedly terrible city! What the hell kind of article is this?
Phhhhht, Detroit Institute of Arts? Screw that business. I’ll pack up and leave town, thank you very much. Take your hypocritical opinion and shove it, The Detroit News. And get a better name for your newspaper. Heck, spell “news” with a “z.” Anything! Filed under: A 47 Danger and GameCube and PC and PS2 and Rant and Xbox Comments: None |

 What can I possibly say about American Chopper 2: Full Throttle for the GameCube that can’t be said with the picture above? Why don’t you tell me? Post your best caption in the comments section. It’s a Monday. Let us laugh together and share in our mirth. And one up everyone else too. Filed under: A 47 Danger and GameCube and Humor and Rant Comments: 3 Comments |

That makes me sad. I like the GameCube. I like that it has (much) shorter load times and the potential for cleaner graphics than the Playstation. My game-buying behavior this year has avoided multiplatform games that were also released on the Cube, but I will say this: if I decide to buy Timesplitters 3, LEGO Star Wars or X-Men Legends 2 (all selections I have considered), I’ll go the GameCube route. This is my plea to fellow gamers: if a game you want is released on multiple platforms including the GameCube and there isn’t an online mode that you plan on taking advantage of, or a significant control-related issue (see Mega Man Anniversary Collection), remember the poor little purple box. It’s been so reliable… why not do it a favor? Filed under: Beuks and GameCube and General Comments: 1 Comment |

The Golden Joystick Awards for 2005 have been announced. San Andreas took a lot of awards, blah blah blah, don’t really care. Here is the award that I find interesting.
Wait, what? Resident Evil 4 was based on a film? Mmmmm, I don’t think so. There were Resident Evil films, yes. But Resident Evil 4 was not based on the films. I suppose Mario Bros was based on a film too. Idiots. Your awards hold a lot of meaning, pulling this kind of crap. Filed under: A 47 Danger and GameCube and PS2 and Rant Comments: None |

Forget the “video games cause violence” argument. Apparently, video games cause shoes. Cause shoes? An Activision press release states:
This is a perfect product for your average gamer. Your average gamer that drives a yellow Hummer with spinners. Filed under: A 47 Danger and GameCube and General and PS2 and Xbox Comments: None |
