From here:

we are all gamers. we should be proud and unified, and stop fighting one another (unless it's competitive online matches). who cares if someone likes or hates your favorite gaming machine(s). all that ultimately matters is what *YOU* enjoy. and stop hating on others that don't share those views. sheesh.

This guy has either been a gamer for too long, or not long enough.

	If you replace "gaming machines" with "ships", I do believe most wanks 'round the Net would either rise up together in disagreement or wish they had something witty to say other than "Yeah, well, your mom." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Sometimes I like reading Joystiq comments because you'll occasionally stumble upon one by a person who seems to be new to the Console Wars (or rather, bitching about the Console Wars on the internet). Whether or not they're taking sides, to a seasoned gamer, such comments are just so cute ^_^ (Reply to this)(Parent)

	What that thread should be debating is whether or not this game will have an actual ending. [/WENT THERE] (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Photoshopped Disney versus Lesbian Warrior, battoru fight gooooo! Not only did this make me almost get soda to go out my nose, it makes me think of MXC, the awesomely bad dubbed Spike TV show.....now wouldn't Guy LeDouche have fun with that one? (Reply to this)(Parent)

I found the comments debating which vg series is more popular by using sales hilarious. I wonder if they remember that Halo has only been around since the launch of the XBox. Mario, Final Fantasy and Metal Gear have all been around since the NES days. Gives them quite a leg up on ol' Halo in the number of games sold category.

The commercial itself, while making me anxious for Halo 3, has me longing for a commercial for Mass Effect. I have to wonder why they were motivated to start airing this commercial now when the game won't be out until next November at the earliest.

	You really like Joystiq wank, don't you? Well, I guess you can explain to me the difference between pre-rendered footage and gameplay? I'm guessing that pre-rendered footage is computer animation based loosely on the gameplay, and that cut-scenes don't count as one. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Close enough. Pre-renedered are generally CGI sequences not made by the game engine. Since the processor isn't busy doing other things (like it is during the game itself) pre-rendered material tends to be of much higher quality than stuff rendered using the game engine.

	Oh, and cut-scenes can either be pre-rendered (as in the case of major story sequences in games like the Final Fantasy series) or rendered with the in-game engine. Dirge of Cerebus (FFVII-spin off) and FFXII you can really see the difference between the two. (Reply to this)(Parent)
