Ok so that last blog will be a bloody hard act to follow. It pretty much tripled my blog visits O.o I've literally been too scared to write now, because nothing I can say will be as good :P So I've been sexing up the site itself instead :)
Anyway, I wanted to talk to you all about Katy Perry. Previously in this post, I slagged her off no end. HOWEVER, my opinion of her has now changed. My unnatural hatred has been turned into respect, and here's why: She included Rebecca Black in her music video, which, her decision or not, was a pretty classy thing to do. (Yes I did just say "classy". Deal with it.) I've always felt bad for dear ol' Rebecca, I mean, that appalling song wasn't really her fault. She's a victim of what the music industry is becoming, and more importantly, her record company. It's not her we should be abusing, its the label that pushed her into recording the world's worst song. (Although there was apparently a choice of two songs... So imagine how bad the other one must have been...) So yeah, having her in the video earned back my respect, which obviously means Katy Perry can retire now, having fulfilled this crucial goal.

On the other hand, I notice the Wii is boasting more add-ons to improve the functionality of the controllers, and is mass-advertising this new technology at present. Am I the only person who thinks they are taking the piss?! Nintendo are making you idiots shell out tons of cash for stuff that frankly it was supposed to ALREADY do when it was released! Why are you having to pay AGAIN for something THEY didn't follow through on?! Thus I will not dignify the Wii with ever acknowledging it's existence again after this post. I will never touch one of the bloody things again, controllers, EXPENSIVE ADD-ONS and all, let alone play a GAME on one. (Although frankly I couldn't anyway. The graphics make me want to go on a killing spree.) So I hope you all enjoy your expensive devices that do what an arcade could do with House of the Dead in the 90s. The Wii is dead to me. It's pretty much made by Satan.
There. Rant over. :)

Don't be hatin' on wii, ye xbox-er, it's simple business. Nothing is ever 100% finished on release. The extra stuff wasn't there from the start because not including it allowed them to get their foot in the door first. People still buy the stuff don't they? Also, I agree that Rebecca Black in Perry's video was pretty cool, and riased my opinions of both of them.
Xbox's updates are software, not hardware, and the updates are free :P
And also, I swear they've got 2 controller add ons now. The motion plus one, and the one where you can tilt it. ITS AWFUL haha.
I never mentioned xbox updates. If you want to associate wii add-ons with software, DLC follows the same principle.
True, but ps3 has DLC too. And Wii I think? There's a difference though. DLC is additional to what it says on the box. The Wii's new add-ons don't add anything, they just charge you for extras that should already be there. :)
Not really, DLC gives you extra content for a game, hardware add-ons give you extra functionality in many games afterwards. I agree, the motion plus should have been in the wii to start with, but I don't blame them for not doing it with the initial wii release. Picture the scene if they had spent the extra time before they announced the wii. The xbox and ps3 are on sale, and are selling well. Suddenly the wii turns up a couple of years later, flashes its casual aesthetics and family gaming and is generally shunned but interest is shown in a couple of games and concepts. xbox and ps3 quickly rig together their own motion controls (not like kinect, more like ps3 move) but in the rush, they suck. ALL faith in motion controls is lost and it disappears for a half a decade Nintendo is pushed out of the market. That may not bother you much, but imagine being head-honcho at Nintendo and that's a disaster.
