Wow..this thread definitely went to hell and back.  Ha ha ha!

This thread is as bipolar as some of our forum members (and that's saying something!).

Back on topic:

VITA definitely seems interesting, but I don't have $$$ :(

Yeah, no doubt. (talking about thread tangency - my apologies for belaboring it...)

As far as the VITA goes, I'm planning on holding out until some must-have games are released.  I think the last system I purchased around launch date was the Dreamcast. What was that, 12+ years ago? :) That was one system I was glad to have at launch.  Ever since then, there hasn't been anything that I felt I *had* to have upon release.

I worked for Sony as a game tester when the PSP games were in their alpha stages here in the states.  I remember working on an NBA basketball game and thinking the PSP was going to change the face of portable gaming.  Here it is, what, 8 years later, and I still haven't picked one up.  Shame on me. :p

I guess there are just too many great old school games worth playing that newer stuff doesn't hold my interest like it used to.

Ah, so I shouldn't ban self-admitted jackasses.  I see.  If he attacked anyone like that before outside of Fighting Street, then I likely didn't see it.  He did take to Facebook to insult me further, though.  Kind of like Nintega with the off-site trolling except that he gave up after 2 messages instead of about 4 or 5 and limited it Facebook instead of Youtube.  Apparently he and I were friends on Facebook, likely because I had no clue what his real name was.  Still pretty sad, though.  He just needs to learn to breath before he posts, especially when he makes a big deal out of something I joked about originally.  We really shouldn't be bending the rules for him and it rather saddens me that some here think otherwise.  It makes this place more of a clique.

Yes.  We were friends and facebook and it went a little something like this.

Me: Thanks for the ban, f*ckface!
Joe: why are YOU my friend on here
Me: You were stupid enough to add me?

followed by me removing the fail from my friendlist.

If you weren't so goddamn oblivious, you'd have known it was me.  Do you not look at the people you blindly accept to your friendslist?  I'm kind of hard to mistake for someone else considering I've posted pictures of myself here before, my facebook lists Aetherbyte as my employer, and there are pictures of Insanity related stuff.  hrurhurhruhr

You must be fairly oblivious.  I mean this isn't the first time you've done something that dense.  You missed out on free Insanity games (and I was still nice enough to send you one).

You also didn't know Joe and Mac = Caveman Ninjas and asked where people get this info.

We get it from the internet.  Lrn2google.

Anyway, see you in Fighting Street.

PS VITA RULES.

The whole thing is sad really.  Just another step back for the forums.

Pricing for AT&T's data plans (link): $15/month for 250mb or $25/month for 2gb (same as an iPad).  Seems kinda steep to be able update your Facebook page on the go, but at least you get one free downloadable game.  Or is it multiple free games?  There's no long term contract required, so perhaps you can get a free game every time you restart your service, though they'll probably limit it to one per system.

Nah, the Vita isn't that bad.

Yeah I have no need for 3G either.  Plus I don't want to pay $30 extra a month just to play games.  Haha oh yeah and it's AT&T.  I could hear the groans at E3 when it was announced.  Kinda funny.

I usually play these portables at my friggin house lol.

DO NOT NEED 3G. HAS WIFIFIFI


I like Sony handhelds though.  They're nice and exciting.

Nintendo's would be great right now if it had games.

I don't know, I'm still torn on the Vita. I play more portables than anything, but I look at the launch window games, and the total cost of the system and everything and I think, "Is this worth it?" Right now, I'm not sure.

I mean, I'd be perfectly happy getting one or two launch games and then catching up on my PSP backlog, but the Vita memory cards are so expensive I can't dump all my digital games on there without dropping another $100. At this time, I may just stick with my Peace Walker PSP 3000 and a bigass memory card.

My thoughts may change as the release date draws nearer, or a store gets a working demo unit that I can play with.

Actually you are whining to me (and there was plenty of explanation).  I'll no longer discuss this.  So you all may now commence the circle jerk about my actions to each other or inform Aaron of my dastardly ways.  To be honest I don't care tremendously much for this particular community, it's very ugly (with some exceptions, of course).  Only a step above the Neo Geo forums.  Don't like me being a mod?  Speak to the man who matters.  E-mail link is above, don't be afraid to use it.
Quoted for posterity.

So you banned Arkhan for calling you the "P" word after you called him "ultra-biased" in a sentence following words like "shit" and "suck".  Good job, you're really raising the standards for discourse around here.

Since then you've proceeded to call him a "jackass" and everyone else circle-jerking whiners.  And that's after editing your posts so we don't know what else you said.  Well, no offense, but you're a click here.

You'll need a separate memory card I believe.
