Hopefully this won't be bad news for the gaming industry.

Pfft, name calling...
Who would have thought, another Hedfix related thread turned into bullcrap.

You, er, could say that, yes! :-)
I've not seen any of Firefly, but I do remember you saying it was pretty good. Serenity looks like fun, and I wouldn't mind seeing it... but I'm wondering if it'll make much sense if you haven't seen the series?

Apologies for a change of direction in the thread, but I thought I'd mention Serenity being released at the end of the week. Certainly worth taking a look at, though I think I remember you saying you hadn't seen much of Firefly. With our Farscape backgrounds, I imagine you'd probably enjoy it too.
Anyway, good to see you around Wooks!

When did he become ALASTAIR, anyway? ;-)

I most definitely am a number of things (human, male, hairy, tall, a little overweight, and so on), but I'm not confused.
And I'm certainly not lying. [URL]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b372/WookieeMonster/DSC00002.jpg[/URL] for a pic of my Xbox, with one original controller and one Controller-S as previously mentioned.

Come on Hedfix, I'd expect more from a 10 year old. You've clearly demonstrated more in other forums and threads, so why let your standards drop here? The easy answer will probably be "to match the people who post here", but try to think of a meaningful reason.
Oh dear!

Hey I guess I could have read it as: "Yes, so I'm a Sony fanboy." but I must've read it as "Yes, so I'm a Sony fanboy." so you can really see how that might've been confusing...

So if someone says "Yes, so I'm a Sony fanboy" I'm to assume that they're not?
Yeah right.
So what you're saying is Wookie wasn't actually aware of what a fanboy actually was when he made that statement?
...
Ha! Yep I can see it now, damn that's rather funny.
Wookie really shouldn't admit to being something he's not. Brilliant. XD

Oh dear! Short on posts this month? Reading below, Wookiee had the guts to suggest he might be a "fanboy" *if* the definition was that he had a preference for a particular console. Its not about just blindly following a console, but doing a little research (like owning a Gamecube, X-Box and PS2) before deciding which console suits the user best. Wookiee did this for this generation and settled on PS2 from what I can see, which is fine. As he says, if that makes him a fanboy, then sure, whatever.
The trouble is, unless you're the most bland, stand in the middle, undecided, cowardly indecisive chicken in the world, you're unlikely to escape that definition. Everyone, no matter how hard they try, is going to have a slight preference in one direction or another, the only difference is that some people are too scared to commit to an opinion.
