[Multiplatform] Console Wars!

Where is the Spectrum option. Fucking fanboy bias.

One day we'll put all the fanboys into a room with assorted weapons and then ask this question, leaving them to kill each other. The fanboys will get to live out their retarded fight, and the world would be down a collection of morons.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Only gays around here are people who didn't buy a Dreamcast.

DREAMCAST 4 LIFE MOTHERFUCKER!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hey, we got plenty of gaming awesome on the Dreamcast over here in the UK. I personally got quite a lot of Dreamcast gaming awesome for free, and ahead of release, which was even more awesome. Sort of like a T-Rex piloting a fighter plane, only more awesome. And free.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

So you got to option 2 before you got bored, gave up and voted anyway. Good work.

Also Shin, whilst I agree with you on what constitutes classic gaming, you need to admit the Dreamcast was awesome already. We know it, you know it, and we know you know it, so just admit it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Mine has a blue swirl too. And I have Fire Emblem: SD. So there.

I was speaking idiomatically.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Hang on there skippy, since I sense that comment is prompted by the various white-label games you're seeing in my picture. I was, amongst other things, Games Editor for my student paper and all those discs you see are review copies sent to me by Sega themselves. No piracy here thank you very much.

FELIPE NO

No, you're right I didn't. But first of all, I was a student with hardly any money, and that which I did have paying for uni fees, keeping me with food and shelter, etc. I also spent quite a bit of any money I could scrape together for nice things on games, some of which you see pictured. I also bought quite a few accessories, like the DC keyboard and mouse, a few extra controllers, etc (I couldn't be arsed to dig them out for the picture). Quite honestly, had I not been given the review copies I would have only had 2 or 3 of those games probably. Or I would have had to sell or trade many of the others I owned to have any more than that.

I didn't like the implication of piracy, and I still don't. I'm not claiming to have been some sort of sales saviour, I was just saying I liked my DC plenty and was fortunate enough to play quite a lot of games on it thanks to Sega being generous with their review copies (and me being the almost the only gamer with a DC on the student paper).

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Oh man, I'd love for them to bring Guardian Heroes to the XBLA or PSN, that game was excellent.

Yeah, the keyboard and mouse were bought for playing Quake 3: Arena, though they also got use in PSO and using the web browser to get me a free copy of ChuChuRocket (<3).
