What [ticks] me off is...

O HAY I'M A REALLY FUN XBLA GAME THAT CAN'T BE FOUND ON ANY OTHER SYSTEM

...Actually, the fact that those exist is what ticks me off.

[Chupperson Weird]

Uh, what advantages are there to playing FPS with a controller? That's more of a disadvantage.

[Lizard Dude]

That is, most people aren't insane and don't have HDTVs.

You're insane (and/or poor) if you don't have and don't want a widescreen HDTV. Or blind.

360 looks like a system to get well into its lifespan once it has a nice selection of a few great games, much like PS2. 'Course, that looks like it might happen with PS3 also. Who knows?

360 already has a few great games. In fact, for its lifespan I would describe its amount of great games as "a buttload".

Because you can't pirate them. Feck off, scum.

The only thing a controller gets you in FPS is analog movement speed control. This is not really useful, but it is technically an "advantage" that exists. But of course mouse+keyboard is vastly superior.

And don't get me STARTED on those idiots who think Mortal Kombat on SNES is better than the Genesis version!

[Chupperson Weird]

I've never needed an HDTV before, so I don't know why I would need one now. Also, except for games and certain channels that actually transmit correctly, it looks worse than a normal analog receiver because you can see all the MPEG-4 compression way clearer. And, well, I've enjoyed games this long without them being at ultra high resolution.

[Lizard Dude]

I suppose I should say that needing an HDTV only applies to 360/PS3 owners. Sorry for the confusion. There is no advantage to seeing Super Mario Bros.'s giant pixels in pupil-searing 1080p and hearing its mono sound in eardrum-shattering 7.1 surround.

But if you ever try to read text in Dead Rising or play one of the many, many games that force you to play letterboxed on a 4:3 TV, you will understand the need.

No one needs an HDTV, but it sure is nice to have. However, if someone is going to go so far to make an argument about graphics and make it sound like graphics are everything (not saying anyone here fits that description), they would probably need an HDTV.

Really seems insane to me to not declare that total developer failure right there.

I BLEED SWEAT!

[Glorb]

That's why censorship is never the answer.

[Lizard Dude]

If you uppercut Chuck Norris 15 feet into the air, no blood comes out. Only sweat.

[Chupperson Weird]

Question is, how do you uppercut Chuck Norris 15 feet into the air?

[Lizard Dude]

While holding Down on the d-pad, press the high punch button (Y).

[Glorb]

That's funny, I hold down on the walk stick and press Punch FOOL!

Chuck Norris is immune to fatalities.  He just sweats all over the ground until his opponent can't move without slipping.
