The recent disaster in America had taken my mind off gaming, how can I have fun when the Americans might get all hot headed and bomb someone causing World War 3. Yet even through this disaster gaming managed to worm its way into it.

Of course angered by terrorists and although people accuse many others I blamed the Datadyne Terrorists off Perfect Dark and so I killed millions of them. But whilst reading the Daily Mail I noticed much unwanted publicity for the Playstation. First the picture of the still standing World Trade centre twin towers had a Playstation yacht sailing calmly.

Ok nothing too bad there yet whilst looking at the pictures of those Middle Eastern children cheering as a plane crashed into one of the buildings I spotted a Playstation under the Tele. I am not accusing Sony of sponsoring another event but if I was Sony I would be a bit annoyed that there console is being associated with an international disaster.

Yet Sony just as Nintendo probably has something else on their minds other than the possibility of war. For those of you who didn’t know yesterday an Earthquake hit Japan but like Mother Teresa during the Diana Tragedy it was ignored. Don’t worry it wasn’t an enormous one a few buildings fell and loads died (yesterday wasn’t too good really).

So there you have it Sony’s name was splashed across yet another international event, but this time it was publicity Sony could do without.

I no longer feel shocked nor do I feel angry.

I have lost all faith in humanity, by which Dringo will never be the same.

Dringo, I think the world will be too busy being shocked and appalled by the images than to notice a PlayStation underneath a TV.

I think maybe 'The Gamecube' is too far up the ladder with regards to your life priorities and morals.



Just a thought...
