Yeap, its just another topic which has no meaning and I am just going to drone on about things involving gaming that I have been thinking about.

Firstly. Last week I read about over twenty companies going up against a lawsuit because the children of America have been incouraged to be violent and dangerous because of these companies games! These companies include Nintendo and Sony, who fight of the claims with facts and figures that show how it helps children to think and become more creative.

My view on this? Well it has been a heated topic point in these forums way too many times, and I don't want to read another 'Are Games Bad for You' topic again because I can at least remember twenty. Gaming is a form of entertainment, nothing more nothing less, children use entertainment all the time, depending on how the child reads the entertainment depends on what s/he will make of it. Is that simple, the parents can blame who the hell they want, its their damn kid!

Moving on... The virus inflicted personal computer... oh how I love to hear what problems people in America are having with games and viruses and in general their Windows system, it makes me laugh and feel proud to be a Mac user! I have had no problems! I have the best software packages and with this new Virtual PC package I can do anything a PC can do (If I want to).

Another topic is the people complaining about the number of release games for the Nintendo GameCube! I want to say to them 'SHUT UP'. As long as there are five excellent games at launch with a nice variety, the console will be worth its square weight in gold!

Oh... the Playstation2. Yes I have enjoyed GT3 during the past week, and also the other games I have in my small collection, but I still prefer to play my Dreamcast games with the beautiful free dial up disk I got from America. The Playstation2 has a lot of potential, Sony haven't shown us what it can do fully yet! I just await MGS2.

It turning into a quiet gaming summer... Mario Kart Advance is arriving in the post tommorrow, its going to hopefully last, but meanwhile I still have the excellent Excitebike64.

Its been a strange week for gaming, the internet virus has made me laugh.. because the bottom line is its Microsoft's fault.

Here's to waiting.

the people sueing the companies are greedy gits. They wont blame themselves for ignoring there kids and/or encourage them to be violent, because then they wouldn't get any money then, and no they couldn't blame the gun companies because they dont make enough money, no they have to blame the games companies the only ones who bring happyness to there kids miserable lives... sorry just rambling
