Stolen Pixels #75: Interview With the RAM Pyre

[Scarlet Knight]

Punchline: " My X-box is on fire!"
Question: "What did Phoenix say to Cyclops on their honeymoon?"

Now do the PC, and we can get real flame wars going.

Get real. Everyone knows PC Gaming is dead.

everyone knows that the PC is far more superior than consoles in terms of FPS's and RTS.

Its still not very good in controlling platformers or action games.

By action, what do you mean? Personally, I'd class FPS as action because...well, its about 'action'. And WASD with mouse is excellent at FPS' and seems much more natural to me than a console controller - especially as they normally build only right-handed controllers. Whilst PC is designed pretty much as right handed it doesn't seem to affect me at all.

These are funny and all (despite the material being only a little old this time - "Jasper" has gotten rid of RRoD, BUT, there's two new errors that can happen now) but has Travis set his sights on this now? I mean, after all, he got drunk and hallucinated the first time, for all we know he could have set a person on fire.

Anyway, I liked this one more than the previous one because it was less of an "interrogation" and more goofy. Still, is he gonna have to appease every mailbag bickerer now?

For me, it's not that you pissed anyone off attempting to dis the PS3, it's that you are using jokes that are clearly nearing 3 years old, and you didn't even take the time to choose the funny ones.

That's just irresponsible, expired jokes carry botulism, you know...

The main thrust of the PS3 joke - the "hard to program" idea - was in fact less than a week old, and came from the mouth of a Sony rep.

The other jokes - expensive, heavy, etc etc, are perfectly valid as a running gag. Heck "Duke Nukem Forever" jokes are old enough for junior high, and I think they're fair game until DNF actually ships. (So the jokes will never get old! Zing!)

Okay, yeah. I guess they're getting old too.

Who's saying that PC gaming is dead....? You guys need to keep up on the news.... MSNBC.com recently posted an article saying that PC gaming is still more popular than consoles world wide...

Define PC gaming. We talking solitaire?

I was looking at this article: PC Most Lucrative Platform in 2008 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/90417-PC-Most-Lucrative-Platform-in-2008]

I wonder how much of that is MMOs?

*reads article*

Yeah, that's what I thought.
