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.

Well I'll try, but I'm kind of in the habit of doing it now!

Agent Meka, slinking in like a stealth assasin before dawn (well, before work) to end all arguments with a tap on the keyboard.
What a git!

That's right Dringo, look at the games not the specs.
What's the point in buying the most powerful console, if no games appeal to you?
Likewise if it's the most powerful console that has the games for you, buy that one.
Of course, it does make sense to be a little spec-aware. You don't want to be tricked into buying something that won't do what you want it to - but that's more relevant to PC's than consoles.
I've glanced at the specs of the consoles, and they're really all quite similar. Different arcitechure, so we won't know how they compare until we see them running similar games. So why bother?
The only factor I've considered is the games that are coming to the consoles, and the games coming to the GAMECUBE are the games that appeal to me.

I don't think so. I don't remember doing it and I don't know why I would have.
You probably did but you also said it on MSN.
You're messed up. I said that on the Nintendo forum. Go check.
