I just thought I would quickly voice my disappointment on Sonic's latest gaming outing on all major consoles.
You all have no doubt heard of Sonic The Hedgehog and his latest game sonic unleashed. The game had a great amount of potential and for once the outlook of Sonic's future looked bright. It seemed Sega finally decided to get off their butts and create a game that the gaming community wanted.
BUT...
Once again Sega found a way to screw up like usual. They decided to come up with yet ANOTHER gimmick for their sonic games. A gimmick that takes out the whole pace of the game and renders it into a slow, useless and most of all unenjoyable beat-em-up. The worst thing about this that even though the game is divided evenly in day and night sections guess which sections go longer? That's right the night ones. That just PROVES how slow and god damn boring these parts to the game are.
It just frustrates me so much and I know I am not alone in thinking this that Sega just does not learn from their mistakes. Every time Sega messes with a simple formula it hasn't ever once worked for them. So why keep insisting on adding a gimmick? The fans hate them, the community hates them and most of all reviewers hate them. SO DON'T BUT THE PIECES OF SHIT IN THE GAME!!
The game has one section that absolutely shines and that is its fast and intense day time levels. It is everything the whole game should have been. It works on a basic premise and that is what sonic is all about. Speed! Sonic flying through stages at a frenetic pace is the whole foundation of the series. Sure in unleashed even those stages have some problems (Mainly with the slow reaction time while trying to jump) but they can be overlooked because those sections are so much fun to play.
How can a company fuck up making such a simple game. All the gaming community wants is a sonic game that is fast, smooth and linear. THAT IS ALL!
FOR FUCKS SAKE SEGA HOW MANY FAILED GAMES DOES IT TAKE FOR YOU TO GET THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL THAT NOBODY LIKES THE PIECES OF SHIT SONIC GAMES YOU KEEP PRODUCING!!! 
I can't wait to play the next sonic game where Sega gives sonic the ability to turn into an electric drill so he can burrow screws into pieces of wood. Hey don't laugh Sega will probably think that is a great idea and add it into the next game.

Sonic Unleashed Disappointment
Mii Business Cards in Japan. WTF!
"Lucky" Nintendo Wii owners in Japan are now able to purchase personalised Mii Business cards via Japan's local Club Nintendo service. It requires the Japan exclusive Digicam Print Channel and 150 valuable Club Nintendo Points. You will then recieve 30 legitimate (yes they are physically real) cards through the mail.
Now this begs a very logical question: "WHO THE HELL WOULD WANT A FRIGGEN MII BUSINESS CARD IN THE FIRST PLACE?" Honestly what possible use could these business cards have to anyone? No sane person would have these printed out to actually use for their business.
Hit the jump to continue:
Imagine someone actually did use these legitimately and they handed a client one of these cards. The client would look at the person and say: "You sir are officially a Homosexual fagget."
I guess these cards are meant for five year olds or reclusive loners. Hey maybe I should get one then?
Youtube Video of the Week (Dec W3)
Before I talk about the video I would just like to apologise to the one or maybe two people that have actually looked at this blog. Lately I have been very busy with my god damn studies at school and I haven't exactly been able to make many posts at all except for the Video of the Week segments. From next week onwards I will have much more free time and I will be able to return to writing my truthful and aggressive articles. So to you one or two people that read the shit that I write my apoligies but things will get back to normal.
Ok now onto the video. This video is entitled Another Wii Sports Casualty.
Video after the break:
Back in 2006 when the Wii was first released many complaints from people arose about their wii remotes flying into their TV's. These people obviously had no hand-eye co-ordination and they were what the industry calls N0obs.(extremely hardout ones). It is a joke that someone couldn't wear a wrist strap and that they were so gumby this situation became a reality. Well... this video is of a fat asshole who happens to do the unthinkable to his t.v.
Enjoy watching him jiggle and then make sure you laugh at his pain:
Youtube Video Of The Week (Nov W3)
Now I have come across many funny videos in my time but this particular video may be the funniest I have encountered for quite a while. I don't know what it is but this video has an amazing and hilarious vibe coming from it and to be honest it really shouldn't be funny at all. BUT THIS VIDEO IS HILARIOUS!!! (In My Opinion anyway)
This weeks video is entitled Nigga stole my bike. It is an incredibly stupid video but that just adds to the appeal. Enjoy!

Note: No I am not racist :P
Video Game Fanboys
If I had to pick the worst thing about the gaming community, Fanboys would be at the top of the list.
Before I start my rant I should tell you what exactly a fanboy is. A fanboy is a person that loves their gaming console or video game so much that they must let their bias opinions be heard. This mainly occurs in the form of comments on major gaming websites and gaming publications.
Now from the definition I gave you a fanboy might not sound that bad at all but believe me they are. A typical fanboy comment will entail an incredible amount of praise towards their favourite product (ie console, game) but it is usually at another console or games expense. The comment will consist of an unfair comparison of a game/console which results in a bias outcome turning to a fanboy's favour.
A fanboy will also go out of their way to insult an opposing console or an opposing fanboy at all costs and for no reason at all. There is no explanation to why this occurs and the insults often come from no where and are found in the most unexpected places.
To show you what I am talking about here is a fanboy comment extracted from an article on IGN:GET $ONY'S NUTS OUT YOUR MOUTH!!! YOU GARBAGESTATION 3 FANBOY!
Comment by SuprSlyDarknell
Now believe it or not this comment was made over a gears of war 2 review. See what I mean? There was no reason for a comment like that to be made at all and it was totally inappropriate. I honestly would like to know what goes through a fanboy's mind when they post these completely stupid comments.
Why does a fanboy find it necessary to talk absolute crap about another console? It is only a machine. It is not alive and breathing it is only a piece of metal. It boggles the mind that a human being can love a video game console so much that they need to defend it at all costs. Why can't people just accept that each console has its own advantages, disadvantages, great games and bad games?
People need to move on and stop wasting their lives in the comment section of websites. Fanboy's act like they are at war arguing to a point where people like myself just get pissed off reading the obscene and abusive posts about nothing. All I want to see is honest opinions of other people on news and reviews and not this load of bullshit that a lot of us have to put up with.
Whoever came up with the term Console Wars can get fucked. It is not a war at all, it is merely a bunch of companies trying to make money. People aren't dying as much as people make it sound like they are. It is all about money full stop. There is no need for someone to defend a company they have no relation to at all. So just keep your friggen fanboy opinions to yourself.
Here is a comment I extracted which is also from IGN. It is the most truthful thing i have ever read on the subject and it needs to be read by everyone:even if you win an argument about games on the internet, you still lose because you're arguing about games on the internet.
Comment by Pharoah_King
Fanboy's sensationalise the smallest of news articles and I have had enough. If a fanboy is reading this go and stick your dick into your consoles disc drive and spooge inside it if you haven't already.
