Found this tidbit on the net from Ananova.com.
Apparently, some ass has decided to legally change his name to
Playstation 2. I can already hear the words "What a dumbass"
come out of your collective mouths. That's what I thought, too.
Even worse is that he wants to marry his console of choice. Yep,
marry. As in get legally wed to it. Fortunately, none of the local
clergy are willing to indulge his fancy. These lead me to think
a few things:
- This loser only plays around 4 hours a day. I know people
who play far more than that but would never consider changing
their name. Or marrying the console. Probably because it would
take away from their gameplaying time.
- There are worse consoles to be named after, like the Jaguar.
Bleh.
- At least he decided to go with the most popular console at
the time. When he introduces his wife to people, at least they
have a greater chance of being familiar with the product.
- What happens if he gets the dreaded Disc Read Error and his
PS2 stops working? I bet he'll be fucked, then. May even have
to legally change his name again. Probably to something like
I'm A Dumbass.
- After this news article comes out, he's better off changing
his name. No one'll be able to hear the name "Dan Holmes"
without asking "Are you that stupid fuck that wanted to
marry a game console?"
- How the hell did this guy get to be 29 years old? I'm sure
that his stupidity would lead to his own demise.

Got our first review for the site. Start off our Reviews
section with a bang. Or splatter. With having said that, feel
free to join me in the defacement of Carmilla.

Nintendo will never put any of it's premier characters in an online
game. I'm not talking about their sideline games, like Mario
Golf, Mario Tennis or even Mario Backgammon.
I'm talking the console sellers, like Super Mario, Legend
of Zelda, Metroid and even to a lesser degree Donkey
Kong. Why do I think this? Because while Nintendo's competition
are going whole hog into online gaming, Nintendo is sitting back
on it's haunches, stating that they'll "wait and see". This attitude
that online gaming is an experiment that might fail has brought
out the massive online catalog of ONE FREAKING GAME for the GameCube.
You know what that game is? Phantasy Star Online. Yes,
the same PSO that was already on the Dreamcast. How original.
If someone else, say Sega or Sony, was in control of Nintendo's
properties, you'd be seeing online games a plenty. Your future
lineup would include Metroid Prime with online mutliplayer,
Mario Kart Online, both Super Mario Sunshine and
Legend of Zelda with online minigames and god knows whatelse
they could push through the bandwidth.
So, is this a good thing or a bad thing? Depends on your view.
Traditionalists may like the fact that their favorite games are
staying offline. Online progressives may want to play against
their pals in a Nintendo first-party title. But, I think the repercussions
are evident. Nintendo's lackadasical attitude is keeping other
third party developers from being even remotely interested in
online gaming for the Cube.

Yeah, like the Internet needs somewhere else to go. But, this
isn't just any other location. Or, at least that's what my lawyers
are telling me I can tell you. The rest, they tell me, is unsubstantiated
slander that will be sure to get Forever Kingdom sued and
shut down. Let me give you fair warning - you are sure to not
like some of the things being said here. That is, if you have
no sense of humor. Don't take things too seriously. You'll live
longer. And don't waste the time to get indignant and e-mail us
with your misplaced hate and angst. You're sure to get thrown
in the trash and then put on an e-mail block list. Just sit back
and try to have a good time. Lord knows, we sure as well.
Oh, and if you find a few ends lying around, don't worry - we're
working on it.
