Fun is why we play video games. Having a laugh playing Goldeneye or Smackdown 2. So what has changed? Video games are still fun right?
Yes but many of us have been pulled into the world of graphics chips and memory etc… What has happened to the innocence of gaming, when specs and looks never mattered and it was down to having fun? Same with Football, watching and playing is great fun but when people delve into a clubs financial situation or how a person is trained and their transfer fee’s etc…
It makes me think should this worry us? Should we care about Emotion Engines or flipper chips? Should we waste our time reading up on the amount of polygons a console can shift? Shouldn’t we spend time looking up information about games?
I know we do look into the future games but we tend to concentrate on the consoles rather than the individual games. So I decided to ignore information on the Gamecube console and I started to look at Eternal Darkness instead. I discovered much more information than I had ever read in magazines about my most anticipated game. Moments later Turbonutter was talking about how Metal Gear Solid 2 can shift 20 million polygons and I realized he has got his priorities all wrong.
I look to those innocent games players who sit around playing games; they don’t argue whose consoles the best and why. They just play games and have fun and I have been dragged into the world of Specs and disc space. Sign Innocence is bliss.

I think
Nintendo have kept the just for fun and to pass the time appeal.
Sega make some fantastic arcade games.
Sony make games for the heavy mature gamers.
Microsoft mmm can't comment, but microsoft monster truck madness was fair good all them years ago.

I hate people who go on about RAM,
They haven't got a clue, they're as thick as spam,
They moan and cry that their console is faster
and if they don't shut up their leg will be in plaster...
I mean what's the point is going on
neither console will have won
if people like them moan and groan,
cause all the developers will just go home...
I'll finish this rhyme with my CD playing
and those technical losers better start praying
because the casual gamers will arrive
with eggs and flour at their drive
and if they don't shut up soon
i'll hit them with.... a spoon!
So there.... :P :D

I agree Zelda want a play and go game.
Nice poem, Game.
Dringo, you are one of the worst offenders of the spec syndrome, but if your gonna sit and type things into a forum you maay as well argue about something concrete rather than this, the Gamecube will beat the PS2 nonsense. You aren't exactly sitting playing your fun games while you are on the forum are you??
Multitasking is taking place there then.
