More System Wank!
As the release of the Wii and PS3 grows nearer, the gamefaqs message board begin to grow more and more batshit. So basically Resistance: Fall of Man is being released on the PS3 and for one reason or another XBox 360 fans go over to troll the board.

Newbeing84: I'm curious to see what Gamespot will say. They are a tough crowd to please.
loudassninja: Yeah I would like to know what gamespot score would be as week.
Prabion: Considering that GameSpot employees is riddle with xbox fanboys I don't expect a high score from them.

And you just know that whenever you place a video game console and fanboys in the same sentence is bound to cause e-drama.

gtaaddict08: "well if u actually played GoW instead of being a blind fanboy and dissing it"

Spartix: "You guys realise all this game is, is unreal tournament set in WW2, Just take a look at it. Im not saying its going to suck or anything, im just saying its been done before, just the time has been changed and so has the story. Its just as fast paced and the multi player has jump pads. Jump Pads? WTF, I really dont' think you see that in WW2, Now everyone should stop comparing which is better because they are totally different games. I like gears of war a lot more right now only because i have played it, so when resistance comes out, then i think people can compare them and debate which is better."

jubeigh: "Resistance dosent have a damn thing original about it not in story, gameplay, or online gameplay so why shoud it get a high score if gow shouldent because its not original? Thats stupid logic, there both going to be great, they dont have to be original sony fanboys are just mad because resistance only has 40 pages of topics and GOW has almost a thousand, and that they cant play it."

pis3rch: "well reviews cant really explain the game enough. PLAYING THE ENTIRE GAME will get you the right opinion. the game has a cool gameplay change every Act except Act 4 which is kinda like act 1 but WAY harder. multiplayer takes some getting used to because its different than everything else. its a really unique game and if you refuse to geta 360 i hope you have a friend who owns one because you have to play it. Resistance looks like a cool run and gun game, so im looking forward to playing it at my cousins house because i dont have $500"

A small kerfluffle, but well worth the laugh.

Well if I could have any of them for free, I would definately take a PS3. Since I'm poor though, I'll probably be getting a Wii. That is if I actually buy a video game system.

This week's gonna be Game Console Wank-O-Rama '06. Hell, it's already started with the PS3 now out in Japan. All I know is that the NYC Wii launch is going to be fun =D

Yep. Two systems releasing in three days? This could rival Harry Potter and the Golden Snitch.

Yep, what you see here is the way of communication of the elusive creatures known as "wankz0rz" (wankus maximus). These cute little critters only ever try to communicate when the possibility of the production of splooge exists. They're natural habitat being the Internet, they can only rarely be encountered in "RL", and tend to be far less amusing, so the inquisitive scientist tries his best to decipher the near-incomprehensible gobbledegook for maximum amusement...

Speaking of system wank, I really feel bitter and despise Gamestop right now.

Apparently, if you work at Gamestop/EBGames and were one of the first people to pre-order the Wii or PS3 (mostly towards the PS3 though) you're denied a system in favor of another customer's preorder. Even if you have it fully paid. Even if you preorder it before the other customers.

Right. Thanks Gamestop. Thank you for looking out for your employees who support you and waited early in the morning to be able to preorder it on their day off. We don't have Frys or Best Buy where I live, so I had no other choice but to buy it from my store. Or so I thought.

(And no, we don't get discounts on systems. Ever.)

Sighhhhhhhhh. /wankwank

Dude, that's harsh. Especially considering all the crap you're going to be getting all through the next month because of those damn systems.

Can you at least cancel your pre-order or do something about it?

Re: Kinda OT

Canceling will just mean I won't get one at all. So I won't, but I have to wait behind the customers now. We don't get any benefits or anything, so I just don't understand.

Of course, working the holidays, black Friday, waking up at 5 AM, and slowly and surely despising Christmas time (which I LOVE) isn't enough to be considered on the same level as a customer. Favoritism makes people bitter, even those working for you.

At least I have Elite Beat Agents on my side. =w= YOU'REEE THE MEANING IN MY LIFE, YOU'RE THE INSPIRATIIONNNNN.

I'm pretty sure in the US and Puerto Rico it's not allowed. I've never had a discount in either place for any types of system. I can't really quote on the US part, since I haven't lived there in a few years, but I'm pretty almost sure of it.

Ignore the comment about the US, but what kind of discount do you get? Employee? They said we're not allowed that.

That happened to me when I worked at Walden Books, but with Harry Potter OotP. We were told that if there weren't enough books for the other preorders, the employees couldn't get their preorders, despite the fact that we were numbers one, two, three, and four on the list.

There was so much anger. Oh, so much anger since we'd been waiting just as long as everyone else, and had talked more than 1/2 those people into reserving the damned book in the first place.

To be honest, I'd have lived because I read it the week before on my lunch breaks, but that's not the point

God, I hear that. I work at the GameCrazy here and we've been told by the DM that NO WIIS FOR EMPLOYEES but any Hollywood Video(co-owned by the parent company) employee that wants his gets it. It pisses me off so much, jesus christ.

well reviews cant really explain the game enough. PLAYING THE ENTIRE GAME will get you the right opinion.

That's right, fanboys. Waste your money buying all the games before having any idea of whether or not you'd like them! Previews and reviews are tools of The Man, trying to keep you down!

Ever since FFXII came out, I keep waiting for wank to show up and jump everytime I see the Playstation mentioned. But alas, it's all for naught. DD:

I'm surprised there's no pairing wank for FFXII yet. I mentioned something one about a canon couple from the game and someone replied "OMG! I like this other pairing!" so I thought the fandom would be like that too.

I saw a commercial last night for a Wii game... Red Steel. The Wii letters were all wiggly at the end. Considering all the bad Wii joked, the wiggling letters amused me.

Is that the commercial that ends with someone saying 'You suck.' or something like that? It keeps airing on Spike.
