I think you should look at what Sony offered at this year's E3 again before you stick to the claim that PS3 will wipe the floor, graphically, with 360 and Wii. Take a close look--none of their games are $600 better than any 360 games...in fact, I'd venture to say that they were all about on par. Sony can give out all the spectacular numbers they want, and show all the CG they want, and give out "bullshots" to the press, but they haven't proven anything yet.
why the hell would retraining yourself to a new control system make a game more popular?
people get way too worked up about controllers and how much they think they suck at console FPSes. Trust me, I play enough Counterstrike to count myself as a PC gamer, and I have little-to-no problems dealing with a gamepad. You adapt and you do fine.
My first impression, from the title of the article, was that they took a human brain cell and made a mouse out of it...I think that crosses the "yuck factor".
I don't know if you should use socialist realism as an ideal to strive for, seeing as many historians believe it had a deadening effect on Soviet culture.
yay for generalizations!
maybe you could try being polite and directing your comments toward the ruling party, or toward specific groups of people, rather than toward "you guys."
furthermore, some of those accusations are just plain wrong.
-Americans have never killed innocent civilian people to steal their oil. I have not heard of a GI knocking on an arabs door, shooting him in the face, and stealing his oil. Wars have been in part motivated by oil, sure, but america hasn't "stolen" oil. who's oil have we stolen, and please tell me where it is. if i knew, it'd sure make gas prices cheaper!
-So we funded Bin Ladin in the 80's against the Russians. it was a different world then. not that it wasn't a mistake, but you must realize that it was not the world we live in today.
-we do not "shoot first and ask questions later"--thats just the typical cowboy stereotype that many people like to pick up on. this administration has been WRONG (about WMDs) at best, and DECEITFUL (changing the war-aims mid-game and pulling a fast one on the american people) at worst, but they don't "shoot first and ask questions later." and i resent you stereotyping all americans as moronic cowboys with six-shooters.
-the US has free education, and it is not communist
-i don't think there is a government on this earth that doesn't eavesdrop on conversations. this administration is pushing the limit, but don't get on your high horse.
-there are many right-wingers who think free medical care is communism...but no need to make that an "american" attribute.
i'm not going to go point-by-point anymore. the main gripe i have with you is your overall sense of moral superiority and your tendency to apply sensationalized traits of the ruling party (which, mind you, i have no great love for) to americans as a whole.
you said that communism lasted only in a state of revolution...but as long as there is a western world, the islamic fundamentalists will be having their "revolution." We can't contain them because they have no country, and we can't wait for them to collapse economically because they have no economy. i really don't see how cold war analogies apply at all to the situation
In Soviet Russia, the government provides free internet for all, for the benefit of the workers. Of course, all the workers of the nation must share one 56k modem, but that's beside the point...

I'm going to find every single Sony fan who mockingly called the first Xbox a computer and laugh in their face until they cry.

I don't know about you, but getting something tattooed on my forehead is something I think I would resist.
