"The future of gaming is things like Rockband? You mean this guy also thinks the future of gaming is one where you first buy the console then buy the $150 game? Uh no thanks. I love Rockband as much as the next guy but the only reason I own it is because of Christmas. If i hadnt gotten it as a gift I'd be just as happy as I am today and i never would have bought it myself. Its too much of an investment for a single game that i played for a few weeks and then put away." I, I, I, I, Me, Me, Me, Me "In the words of /b/: "fgsfds" " ....Translation? And one more...this one being in reference to Wagner Games Au: "Gaming has become so big even idiots are trying to make a name for themselves talking about it talking out of his ass seconded! " I love it. But at least there was one great comment: "You mean Nintendo was right? Oh my, who knew that Harvard economists knew more than gaming journalists?!
