Obviously if I had to make a choice between either owning an X-Box 360 or a PS3, I would go with the former (like any sane person). Tons of great games, better online support, and a terrific multiplayer community put it miles ahead of the PS3 at this point. Sony has a lot of catching up to do. Still, that doesn't mean I don't love my PS3.
Warhawk, however, is a massive bore. Unreal Tournament all the way, baby!

I don't get it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kib05Ip6GSo&feature=userStep 1: Stare at camera. Step 2: Get viewed by half-a-million people. On the plus side, from some of her other 38 videos it appears she's learning Japanese - she might be just the girl for you, Muckle. ;D -Brendan

Then she stares and you wonder if she does only that in the other videos... so you click. I have to admit her eyes are very... "wide eyed" For some reason that seems interesting.

You guys obviously have never been to China... It actually is rather weird being stared at. Most of the other foreigners went slightly insane...

You know you're a scientologist when you see a person in distress with a broken car and you know you're the only one that can help. All cults should have an espionage movie theme as part of their recruitment kit.

Hey, Jens, what do you think of the Goldeneye fiasco on Xbox Live Arcade? Personally, I can do without an updated Goldeneye port, but people are going crazy over this. They love the multiplayer so much, in spite of huge advancements in the last couple of years in multiplayer. And that's how I introduce this video: youtube.com/watch?v=Eki7Ht7O4e4 "Nobody buys a game for the multiplayer, anyway". He's full of stuff like that. Cool Spot: youtube.com/watch?v=9QOXsoenBwY "This game is not a 7-Up marketing ploy". He also runs an award show on a boat cruise, with guest Cloris Leachman. www.navgtr.org/ The award show itself is creepy to say the least.

I don't really know anything about a Goldeneye "fiasco", but from the way you've phrased your post and the youtube videos you've linked to, I can only assume that it's something about the Xbox Live Arcade version of Goldeneye... er... not having multiplayer?
Is that the case? Because if it is, that's just unbelievably stupid on the part of the developers.

No, Rare was supposed to release a reworked Goldeneye for the Xbox, but Nintendo supposedly didn't come through with negotiations.
The videos, on the other hand: I find the guy's monotone voice, lack of skills, and obsession with cinematics and cheats (he doesn't like the rumble pak because you can't use it at the same time as a game shark) oddly captivating.

He obviously views games as wholly passive entertainment, not to be obstructed by such nuisances as gameplay or actual challenges.
I'm sorry to hear about Goldeneye. I'd have loved to play that one again.

I love the bit about not trying to beat Goldeneye on the highest difficulty because it is "impossible" when everyone and their mom beat it on "00 Agent" difficulty to unlock all the extra levels and characters.

The guy has over a thousand videos up. I keep watching more and more of them for some reason. I'm disgusted and repulsed and I can't look away!!

Haha! This guy is great. I love his Super Return of the Jedi review/strategy guide www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvwYa4YVi68"To defeat the boss in Jaba's palace, Fortuna, stand next to him and swing your light saber repeatedly." How very helpful that advice is! But why does he keep just randomly showing clips of scenes from the actual Star Wars movies (and sometimes the actor screen-tests?!) Oh, and "As an exhausted Jedi warrior, you'll be very happy to hear the upbeat music of the Ewok celebration!" -Brendan
