we, who are about to die...

who knew that crawfish races were such an intricate endeavor that it would require several engineers to come up with rules summed up in the following diagram:

yes, this truly is progress. when one can dream up games involving the use small animals, shortly before consuming said animals, then one has achieved a level of sophistication and civilization that will be studied in text books for centuries to come. and, why stop at small animals? why not also take a harmless child's game and bend it to the will of one of the original hardcore shooters? yep, you guessed it, contra.

news of this magnitude might kill a lesser publication, but that is not the case here. no, dear readers, we make like andrew bird and soldier on.

in the past, we have might poked fun at the plight of those friends who might own a ps3. this overly expensive, non game carrying device that screams elitism has long been the butt of many jokes. however, a new day might be dawning, and it should strike fear into the hearts of microsoft and sony alike. the upside of such a system is obvious and mindblowing... although, i would tend to agree with those checking for scars on wrists before crowning a new messiah, but i've always been a bit of a thomas. the problem that comes with everything from vehicle simulations to online videogames is the amount of stuff you have to cram down that pipe, the bigger the pipe is required to become. a smaller pipe only leads to sadness and shit everywhere, and unfortunately a small pipe is all that most are available to afford. like i said, if the technology can overcome this semmingly impossible obstical, all the better. personally, i'm going to wait to crown a champion. after all, this isn't the first time we've heard this song and dance.
