Yep you guys no the drill. Time to point out the inconsistancies of SW.
1) The Wii is missing out on -Insert Game(s)-
How many times do we here this? Sheep are missing out on -Insert Game(s)- while Cows and Lemmings get to play -Insert Game(s)-
Ex. CoD4 not coming to Wii but it will come to PS3/360/PC
2) The PS3 isn't missing out on -Insert Game(s)-. Just get it on PC
How many times do we here this? It doesn't matter if -Insert Game(s)- isn't on PS3 just get it on PC.
Ex. Bioshock not coming to PS3 thus Cow claims to get it on PC.
3) When Sheep say they will play -Insert Game(s)- on a different platform
They get ridiculed and laughed at with claims that the Wii can't stand alone and you need another gaming platform to go along with it.
Ex. Sheep will get CoD4 on a different platform but will be ridiculed for it because they had to rely on another platform besides Wii.
4) When Cows say they will play it on PC
They don't recieve any flack for doing this. Infact its often encouraged as a crutch/reason as to why 360 is not worth owning.
Ex. Bioshock doesn't come to PS3 but Cow will claim to just get it on PC and call it a day.
The Hypocrisy
Why is it when the Wii misses out on a game its LOLZ all around that the sheep are missing out while on the other hand when the PS3 misses out on a game its no big deal since they will just play it on PC?
Conclusion
I've always wondered about the way it plays out in these situations. So I've taken down some things that I've noticed.
Hmm I love Hypocrisy....If I missed anything feel free to let me know 
Yeah that's right.
95% of everything people whine and cry over being copied in games today by developers has already existed in Megaman.
This place has always been good to me. I like SW and I especially like my Union. But as of late I can't fathom supporting this site for too much longer. My Union is already seeming like its going to Migrate else where. Where they go, I shall follow. I mean its been a while here. I started as an anonomyous nobody. Later on I started to establish a presence and identity. Then after that I got recruited into GUFU completley bybassing the voting process completely.
I've always been fair, I've always been honest, and most importantly I've always been real. I know I have lots of people who love my posting style. I know there are lots of people that love how I just straight up and directly give it to fanboys on a routine basis. But sadly those days might be coming to an end. I don't know what the future holds for BlackBond but I'm not really a big fan of supporting a place that I don't trust.
So right now I'm indecisive of what I want to do. I want to stay here but at the same time I don't. If my union leaves I will travel with them. But will I still post here? I don't know. Take what you will of it. But this could be the end of BlackBond on GS. The future is uncertain.
*A distraught BlackBond*
Trust is the basis of a relationship. Without trust there can be no relationship. The relationship of this site and its users is based on trust. Based on the principals of honestly full well knowing that the opinions and articles have in no way been influenced by outside parties. Well that trust was apparently broken and now that relationship has been destroyed. What happened to Jeff Gerstmann is unthinkable and atrocious. To think that a man was fired over giving his "OPINION" of a game is ludicrious. Its his damn job to give his opinion. If Jeff's job is to give "HIS" opinion on games then why was he fired for it. Last I checked the Review was done by JEFF GERSTMANN not by Cnet. If Cnet wants positive reviews then why don't they do it themselves and put their name in that Review block instead of his.
From this point on there is no credibility to Gamespot scores. There is no way to know which scores have been tainted and which have not been. This is now like the MLB Steroid Scandel. We don't know whats right and whats wrong. The only review we can 100% be certain that doesn't have a asterisk* on it is the Kane & Lynch Review.
So for it to be said yes I am disgusted with this situation. Will I still visit Gamespot? The answer is yes. Come on now what would SW be without BlackBond? But to be honest, the whole thing is being destroyed at such a fast pace now that even my influence can't do much. But in the end all GS Scores are no longer legit. They mean nothing to me. Not as long as the advertising dollar is out there pushing down pressure and extending its influence of corruption.
For those who want to know. Jeff's Video Review was removed do.

This freaking girl is always in my F'N way everytime I step foot in the store...
Trip to Gamestop
Playing Super Mario Galaxy at Gamestop
Checking out Crysis
I swear to ******* god this is like the worst Gamestop EVER! The Manager is a douche and all he does is higher slimey, unattractive, nausiating girls that I have no interest in! I means seroiusly this **** is like border line sexual harrassment. Even I don't put these lines on girls. I mean ****. Everytime I even walk into the damn store this girl jumps up from behind the counter and immediately gives me 100% hands on attention. Its so freaking annoying.
Yes this is a legit PC complaint. Not another misconeption thread lol but a legit PC gaming complaint. You really can't argue with the fact that the PC has these three genre's on lock
Not to mention that it has tons of games both AAE and AAAE. Hell we all know that it has the most quality games out there. But at the end of the day it still has one glaring weakness to me.
I need to play Fighters and I need to play JRPGs. The PC just doensn't have an abundance of either of them nor does it really ever get high profile releases of either in this genre. Yes there is Guilty Gear for PC but I can't play Tekken, Soul Calibur, Shin Megami Tensei ect on a PC.
So while the PC remains strong on most fronts it does it does have two weak points in my view. Yes two isn't alot but they are two reasons that do warrent a purchase of at least one console in my book.
Well okay its not a weakness which leads to the utter destruction of PC gaming lol (come on guys work with me here 
) But no matter how good PC gaming is it just doesn't cut it when it comes to JRPG's and Fighters. For that I need my console. Preference aside the PC doesn't offer much in these two genre's and although it is an immensly strong platform I don't see how anyone can argue against the point that PC isn't weak in these two genres.
!!!WARNING HEAVY PC MISCONCEPTIONS AHEAD!!!
Do you really want to be the guy in the left of this picture?
This is a re-write of a previous post from some time back. Because I feel the rules completely change when PC is involved in SW I have choosen to make this thread.
Wii graphics are bad, Xenon > Cell, Cell > Xenon. Games will be better on 360 because its more powerful. 360 will hold games back because it doesn't have Cell.
What happens when PC comes into play...
Console gamers brag about graphics being one of the most integral parts to praise of their system. Like wise they put down other consoles for having inferior graphics and or looking games (Take Halo 3 for not being 720P for instance). Yet when PC gets involved graphics don't matter. For instance, Killzone 2 is going to be amazing. Its graphics will live up to the trailer and so will the gameplay. Crysis? That game is nothing but graphics its gameplay won't be anything special. Talk about irony.
2) Sales
Sales don't matter, sales do matter? Brag about sales or to not brag about sales.
No matter what happens there is always this talk about sales. Wii fans brag about sales and PS3/360 fans say sales don't matter. Sales don't matter? Then why the hell do we need to hear about how much Halo 3 sold? Why do we need to here from the PS3 fans about how sales will finally pick up when the PS3 price drop hits? Yeah we heard that when it went to $499 and now we are hearing it again when its hitting $399. If sales don't matter why do we here all sides talking about it? PSP outselling DS for a bit with Crisis Core is another example. Its not only Nintendo fans who talk about sales. The other factions that say sales don't matter never hesitate to post positive sales news and brag about it.
What happens when PC comes into play...
Even funnier is that even with what little impact in sales the PS3 has had I can't go one month without hearing. But PC gaming is dying
AA, AAA, Exclusives and such. The Blood of system wars. Console fanboys always go on to say the system with the highest rated exclusive games is the best. Makes sense right. We are on GS so we use GS scores.
What happenes when PC comes into play...
PC obviously has the most AA, AAA, and exclusives so what happens? GS scores suddenly don't matter, popularity defines if a game is good, the genres PC is strongest in are called boring and stale, console gaming is better since "consoles" yes plural lol have better games then PC. It basically has to be a 3 on 1 match because no one console seems to stand up to the behemoth of PC gaming. And when facts are stated that the PC has the most AA and AAA exclusives you get the personal opinion factor aka "I don't care what it scores or anything else, I don't like it" Just because you don't like a game doesn't mean you can deny the Review System of SW.
4) Controls
Arguments over controllers. The Wiimote is a gimmick, the Six-Axis has no rumble, the 360 controller has no motion sensing. All the time arguing and bickering over controllers what is best, the controls feel tacted on ext.
What happens when PC comes into play...
Apparently mouse and keyboard are horrible for gaming. It gives you cramps after constant use yet we as a society do all of our work from it and never complain about it when doing work, only gaming 
Lets not forget the fact that practically any last gen controller and yes the current gen controllers are all useable on the PC barring the Six-Axis to my knowledge.
And for FPS arguement. Come on people your preference isn't fact. Just because you like something better doesn't mean its fact. Yes I play Halo 3 and I enjoy it and I've played TS, GE, and PD as well. But M/KB is proven to be more accurate, more versatile, and a more effective tool when playing a FPS game. It is not hampered by limitations and handicaps due to its inefficiencies in precision, speed, and accuracy. Regardless of preference the M/KB combo is technically better.
PSN is free, XBL is superior, Wii friend codes are horrible, at least we don't have to pay.
What happens when PC comes into play...
Apparently people never knew PC online > Console online gaming. Wierd?
6) Price
Wii is only selling because of price, PS3 is expensive but you get what you pay for. All the hoop la about HD-Gaming but only PC gaming is expensive. Next time you call PC gaming expensive remember the cost of that HDTV and the extra $10 you pay for games. Wait you say you don't need a HDTV to play games? Yeah and you don't need a top of the line Graphics card as well.
What happens when PC comes into play...
PS3 owners claim that you get what you pay for that its worth the money seeing as what you get for your purchase. Hmmm why doesn't this logic apply to PC's? PC's help with music, photo's, movies, games, school, editing, movie making and anything else you can think of. Ah well I'm not paying $3000 for a PC PC gaming is so expensive yet all these guys with 360's and PS3's bragging about their HDTV's don't factor that in to the price of their console. Console + HDTV is just as expensive if not more then a PC.
I mean remember the arguement about how haters only dislike the PS3 because they can't afford it? Oh man those were the days.
7) Competition
PC Gaming doesn't compete with consoles. Consoles are a seperate entity. Forget about people laughing at the 360 saying all of its games are going to PC and that they won't buy a 360 because they can play them on PC. You know why you should forget this? Because if this were true then PC would actually be competing with consoles. The fact is that it does compete with consoles. If it didn't then people wouldn't be bragging about losing exclusives to PC, claiming they will get the superior version on PC, or saying why buy a 360 when they can play the games on PC.
What happens when PC comes into play...
All of a sudden PC gaming doesn't compete. The whole above paragraph is completed voided and people forget that stores like Gamestop have PC Kiosks and sell PC games

Video Games are just that, Video Games. If someone "logically criticizes" (insert game), (insert dev) or (insert system) and you take it personally I just don't know what to tell you. I'm not going to with hold a logically presented opinion or not present a fact just because it makes some over zealous video gamer angry. If you can't handle another person's opinion or the truth then really you probably shouldn't be on a forum which routinely sparks things called .
Trolling (Inciting flames) - Messages intended solely to annoy and/or offend other users by going against the clear nature of a board, topic or chat room are not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to: provoking other users to respond with flames; provoking fans of a particular system or game, especially on boards or topics dedicated to that system or game.
There it is people that is the definition of trolling. Logical use of constructive critisim is in no part trolling. It doesn't provoke anyone other then those who let it provoke them due the fact they can't handle criticism against something they like. If you can't handle it then I suggest you never read my posts at all. As much as I love Video Games, as there are with any other thing in this world there are things to criticize and disagree about. Likewise if you are offended then why can't someone else just say that the praising of (insert game), (insert dev) or (insert system) offends them? Because you know damn well people do get offended when someone says System A > System B or Game A > Game B.
So to sum it I'll put it like this. I just don't give a damn about how any of you guys feel towards logical criticism or an opinion that differs from your own. If you can't handle it then don't read it and don't reply to it. I am not going to water down my posting just because some fanboys of (insert game), (insert dev) or (insert system) feel as if I'm unessecarily and unjustifiably criticizing something they like. I mean seriously people they are just games. People aren't all going to view all things in the same way that you do. Deal with it.
