So, I'm just concerning myself currently with the fact that my crushingly-powerful mega PC's motherboard has died, and that this week, there are new things in videogames; namely the new consoles. Times like this don't come around very often, so I'm just sort of checking GameSpot/IGN and other news outlets like Kotaku on a dozen-a-day basis in the hopes that PEOPLE WILL NOW STOP ARGUING ABOUT WHICH IS BETTER BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THEY'RE BOTH RUBBISH. Well, not rubbish in the traditional sense, as in rubbish for the foreseeable future, oh no, I mean just a bit rubbish now in that there's nothing to play on them. A bit like having a cannon installed into ones' chest but realising that the ammunition for it hasn't been properly developed yet, so you just sort of sit uncomfortably at social events answering awkwardly probing questions about its calibre/muzzle velocity/future potential (which you can't answer because you don't know). Anyway, my point is that this is how the launches have gone down:
PS4 launch lineup - couple of interesting bits and bobs, user interface seems nice, online works. Mostly bob games really though.
Xbone launch lineup - couple of interesting bits and bobs, mostly marketing crap like Ryse, but already has the best racing game in existence. Most of the other stuff is bob though, and it can't play mp3s (my mums PC can).
Which one should we buy, I hear you (read:absolutely no one) say? Fucking neither. Wait until April when the good games are out, you dickheads.
And for anyone not from Rochdale, 'bob' means 'sub-par even with potential'. If it's capitalised, it may also be short for Robert, I've been lead to believe.
