    I am at quakecon... OK?!? There is some seriously cool shit going on here. I got like all the girls gone wild videos transferred over the network. I also just grabbed this cool ammo crate thing from the awards ceremony. On top of that, the mister sinus theater guys just ripped Britney Spears to shreds in a way that no one has fragged her before. So, yeah. John Carmack spoke. He gave those dumasses who bought an xBOx a reason to keep their POS hardware. Shit. Doom III is going to set new standards. We saw it in the doom III demo. Let me finish by saying I wish I had more beer.

    Oh sure, brilliant.

    Lose 150$ per console which they will never get back. Lose 2 billion on XBox live which they never will get back.

    They created the XBOX to tap into the video game market and make money.

    Well, why is it the only platform on the market that is losing money, then?
