Prologue (Revisited)

Seeing as Mike has busted out with the intros, I feel compelled (if not obligated) to do the same.

Enough pleasantries. I need to compensate for the lack* of ep1c in Mike's post. Now, you see, children, our tale begins long, long ago, in a basement, far, far away. The soft chorus of a Gamecube's gentle whirr and the rhythmic clicking of buttons fills the silence of the underground lair, home to my many Miyamotan exploits. It is late at night, with the volume on the TV set to "1". It is long past my bedtime, yet I am at work - conquering the Black Hole Army, scoring goals, catching Pikachu, shooting Timesplitters, smashing a team of 3 Lvl 9s, saving Zelda from the clutches of Evil...

I'm Jim. Truth be told, I am a gamer (generally) limited to interests related (almost) solely to those of the great art of Nintendoism. I'll admit it: I'm a Nintendo fanboy. I own the sacred N64, a Gamecube, and a Wii. I fought in the Great Flame War of November 2001, and (metaphorically speaking) bled purple for Nintendo. Certain members of this blog (*cough*Matt*cough*) might recall this from middle school.

Now, my overwhelming love for Nintendo doesn't make me a Microsoft hater - I own an Xbox and an Xbox 360. Aside from the fact that both were purchased for the sole reason of playing Halos 2 and 3, I like both very much. I'm very pleased that Microsoft trashed the original Xbox Contoller for the Gamecubian "Controller S", seeing as the S's predecessor was the handheld equivalent of a loaf of bread with two thumbsticks. The 360's controller is very sexy, in my opinion, and the new Dashboard is as well. Better yet, the 360 even plays my DVDs for me! Who knew??

Conversely, my overwhelming love for Nintendo does make me a Sony hater. They should stick to what they know - which isn't consoles. Honestly? The only way Sony can warrant the size of the Playstation 3 is to include a mini-fridge in the back. When I'm sitting playing the awesome games for the PS3... wait... what's that you say? MGS4 is the only legitimate game Sony has to offer? Damn. Well, since I can chill some brews in the back of my PS3, it'll probably make playing all those really crappy games that much better. Wait, I can't do that either. And here I was all excited over the price of beer being less than the price of gas!

Well, by this point, our faithful readers (-to-be), I think you have a general idea of where my interests (and biases) lie. I'll do my best to keep posting, and hopefully in the future, this blog will get bigger and better and maybe people will read it.
