""[O]mar your article is the biggest piece of crap ever." -sub311 "Your article blows dude." -Holland909 "[Y]ou are a retard." -balba "Your article sucks." -zeromusmog Uh huh. I have a feeling these guys just read the first paragraph and called it a day. Lazy bums. They didn't even try to prove the article wronge. And, if you think graphics don't even add a teeny-weeny bit of quality to a game, try playing Okami. The woodblock artistic style really makes the world feel vibrant and unique. You don't need polygons, you need style. Graphics do matter. " more

"Give him a break. Unlike most "Sony fanboys" he didn't start behaving like a caps addict throwing around immature wannabe-leet comments like, "0MG NINT3ND0 IZ T3H SUX0RZ." First, think about what you guys are saying. Nintendo has really drilled this idea of "newness," "originality" into our heads. Almost everyone agrees with their inclusive philosophies, the "lets allow anyone to game" attitude. Are you sure some of you are just refusing to consider the opposite argument? After I read over, "Your article sucks," I would suspect so. For a while, I've been certain that Nintendo would "win" this console generation. It wasn't because they were adding people to the market base. It's because by merely declaring they're getting non-gamers into gaming, they got the hard-core to jump on the bandwagon. After, "We're going to expand our audience and bring new, innovative ideas to the table," everyone was saying, "Y-Yeah, Nintendo's right on! Let's do this!" It really got gamers and developers fired up. Nintendo has nearly taken the entire current gaming market, so if they fail to truly expand their market base they will not be at much of a loss. Think about it; will your neighbor really purchase this electronic entertainment device called, of all things, "Wii"? Do you think he/she will warm up to the idea of waving one's arms around like an idiot? Only the most aggressive advertisement campaign would accomplish this, and while it is possible, I don't see it happening. I believe all of Omar's arguments were made intelligently and with thought. This isn't some half-assed rant some random Sony fanboy regurgitated for us to digest. I will even give him credit for the steriotypes he outlined; honestly, I don't know any woman who doesn't live with her parents who wouldn't fit the rather loose outlines Omar provided. Unless you're still in high school, don't count on inviting a few girls over to play with your Wii. " more
