How Sony won me over, and then lost me completely.

[rinnia]

Sony: FFXIII?
FFXIII: I'm so pretty, and look at my crazy plot!
Me: Yay! *drool*
Sony: More Squenix?
Me: Versus XIII, please.
Sony: FFXIV?
Me: WHAT.
FFXIV: I'm so pretty, and look at my standard plot!
Me: Approve, approve.
FFXIV: ... Online.
Me: YOU ARE DEAD TO ME.
Sony: So, we've shown stuff for all audiences, from teen and tween girls to hardcore gamers...
Me: So teen girls are the opposite of hardcore gamers, huh? Interesting. I think we're done here.

Bonus: I can't stand how "casual" has become a dirty word. What's PS3's answer to Wiimote style motion control being "casual"? First person shooter mode. Ugh. Why isn't gaming about enjoying playing games anymore?

Sony: hey look, its a wiimote with a ball. and its black!

Also its good to know that hannah montana will be widely appealing to... some 13 year old girls. So now its "core" gamers and 13 year old girls. We can kill people or be a dreck'n'drool superstar.

but look the syymote has a ball!

also, dreck'n'drool and syymote copyright me, right now.
