    Default Excellent new Maddox article on Sony



    http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse....=sony_bullshit

    Maddox really hit the nail on the head. The article is hilarious, and true. I think we're all tired of Sony's bullshit.

    Altho Maddox has had his moments, I don't think this is one of them.

    This rant is neither insightful or funny. Don't get me wrong, it's true and I agree but he isn't saying anything everyone else hasn't already said.

    "In fact, PSP sales are part of the reason Sony expects to lose $1.7 billion dollars in their gaming division by March. That means that I and anyone else who makes any money at all between now and March (or at least manages not to lose more than $1,699,999,999.99) will officially make more money than Sony's gaming division. I rule."

    That isn't funny? i laughed my ass off.

    Besides it's more the fact that Maddox lamponed Sony, then what he actually said. Maddox is an Internet cult icon and you know how those impressionable youths can be.

    Yup, read that yesterday. I've read every one of Maddox's articles over the past couple years, and he's right on a lot of points. I just wish he would update more and people would stop bothering him to update.

    I had a chance to meet the guy at a book signing this september, and Ive got to say that from the things he said there, hes got good tastes in video games. It is for that reason I believe he knows what he is talking about and is totally legit. (game wise)

    And yea, that bit about making more than sony was great.

    Im sorry to post again, but my poor grammar annoys me (acidental as that was)


    "He has good taste in videogames"

    Imagine it like that.

    Well, he did like Ikaruga.

    Like Njiska said, Maddox gets 79 billion hits a day, maybe his article will influence some purchasing decisions.

    I love what he said here-

    Tough shit Sony. We've moved on. We're dating your younger, hotter sister, Wii. Even your fuglier step-sister, Xbox 360, looks hotter than you do.

    Let me rephrase: He gets so many people bitching about why he doesn't update in his inbox, by the time he deletes them all, he actually COULD have wrote up an article or two. Or he could just not be updating out of spite of these people who keep annoying him to update.

    Here's a shot of his inbox from 2/4/05: http://maddox.xmission.com/c.cgi?u=update020405

    If I kept seeing that every day, I wouldn't have much motivation to update frequently either.

    You're lucky. It must have been cool to meet him in person. I absolutely love the pic of him from Salt Lake City in his king cloak and crown. Priceless: http://alphabetofmanliness.com/images/bs_weller4.jpg

    I never knew who Maddox was

    I really don't care but the thing's he's complaining about is the same thing's everyone else has said

    that article is nothing special

    but reading some of his past articles I really like some of the movie one's such as Revenge of the Sith, so maybe it's just a crappy post for him but meh whatver.
