    Least they'll have sh1t loads of games to play while in there. Hopefully they'll get some redundancy out of it.

    I think he'd appreciate that PS3. After all it is a blunt heavy object, perfect for bludgeoning.

    What do you know, video games CAN cause violence!

    Perfectly logical, reasonable & passionate violence.

    No court would convict him.

    Tell the truth, you had a fiver burning a hole in your pocket and it was the only game you could afford...
    You would have been better off keeping your money and going without!

    Steam sales are to gamers as American Apparel is to hipsters. Quality doesn't come into it.

    Last thing you'd want to do is buy a SNES that clashes with your drapes.

    The CD-i cost me a good bit of money and a good bit of extra money and effort to fix since there was no faq to fix it. At least it had the excellent Zelda games. Duke Nukem Forever however is completely worthless.

    Imagine that funny yet obnoxious guy from your class that no-one took seriously but was always fun to have around.

    Now imagine you meet him again when he's fifty years old, and he hasn't changed a bit, although it becomes brutally clear that he's a raging misogynist, racist and wife-beater.

    Also that the level design is about as inventive as a fart.
