The Daily Duh: Special Biblical Day Edition

Some days are longer than others. If you think, for some reason, that we have not posted in a day, odds are you are simply confused about what a day is.

We've hit the required level of myopia where we must note that Corpnews made Slashdot for their claim that E3 is worthless. The best part of the original Corpnews article is when they say that Corpnews is a medium-large gaming website now. This is of interest primarily because, well, what kind of gaming blog would we be if we didn't needlessly start shit with other gaming blogs? We look forward to Corpnews's point by point response to our claims, because we are an ABSOLUTELY GINORMOUS GAMING WEBSITE THAT WILL CRUSH THEM!1!!1!!!1!!!

Speaking of Ginormous, it is the most popular word not in the dictionary, coming in ahead of confuzzled and our old favorite, woot. WOOT!

IGN has a list of all the PS3 games that are coming out. This includes such details as the fact that there will be a Final Fantasy game, possibly numbered 13. You know your news is sparse when you can't even identify the number of a game that's coming out.

There's a shocking amount of crap in this article, but it is notable for a bit a ways down when the EA guy says, "they still have a resident "fanboy" base, a group of customers that really love what they do and love their brands and they have the handheld business, which has been very successful for them. And it's hard to beat some of the names in terms of the games that they have. So are they competing with them? Yeah, because there are only so many console dollars in the world, but they are competing against them with a slightly different segment." He's talking about Nintendo there. What's striking here is that EA, the absolute least Nintendo-like company out there, understands Nintendo, and understands them better, I think, than Sony or Microsoft. What's depressing is that this probably means that EA's unending stream of crap is also deliberate - that they to are content to target a specific market and ignore the rest. When that market is "non-gamers who will buy anything with a license slapped on it," though, instead of gamers with roots that go back to the start of console gaming, there becomes something a bit, I dunno, cynical and upsetting about it.

And what kind of gaming news site would we be if we didn't note that they killed Morpheous. And, well, so? Does anyone play The Matrix Online? I mean, obviously people do, but that population, I figure, roughly mirrors the population that liked The Matrix Revolutions. So they're idiots. Not real people.
