Altered_Confusion

Besides GiantBomb I'm usually reading stuff on Joystiq or Kotaku. I tried Destructoid, but I stopped once I met one of the guys that works there at PAX, and found him to be a complete and utter douche.  
 
I also go to Altered Confusion, but that's because I'm a writer for the site.

Its a good gateway system to get non-gamers or casual gamers to see that consoles aren't the devil. Some may go on to get other consoles, and others might just find excitement and fun in the Wii. Sure there is a mountain of shovelware on the system, but there are some companies that take the Wii seriously, and those companies have been able to make some good games.

I think that older games are indeed still playable. Sure you might have to jump through some hoops to get them running, but actually playing them is doable. Now of course there are some games out there that if you go back and try to face off against them you might find that they are indeed as hard as you remembered them from your youth.

I vaguely remember playing an Atari game with boxing, and then one with tanks, but the one I really remember is watching my uncle play something called a Nintendo, and wanting to find out exactly how he was making this guy in red jump through colorful levels. I vaguely remember not being able to get through 1-1 without assistance.

It plays Blu-Rays, and is upgradable in the Blu-Ray firmware

I'd say the Most is GiantBomb, though I don't really read reviews now that I have GameFly, and I want to form my own opinion on games without coming into the game with a reviewers expectations. ( I write reviews for a website and I don't want my reviews to be influenced by others).
 
The least though I'd have to say is Destructoid, I never really read them much, but after PAX and seeing how much of a tool the Destructoid guy was I really didn't want to go there. Also IGN has its moments.

Microsoft would have to give me something that was over the top amazing to constitute a hike in prices. It's a struggle right now staying on Gold, but if the price increased and the experience stayed the same I think I would just stop paying and fall back into Silver.

I've only traded in 1 game ever, and that was Gran Turismo. In my experience its such a rip off, and I actually like to look at the games that I've amassed and one a rainy day I like to actually blow the layers of dust off the game and try to recapture what it was that made me want to play the game from start to finish.

wouldn't really change the dude that I've grown to know, yeah we're not going to be going after the same type of people, but he'd still be the same person

I'm not going to get it on launch, and I'm not exactly sure if I'll ever pick it up. The game features sound awesome, but its not really my type of game.
