Weekend Confirmed Episode 58
by Garnett Lee, Apr 29, 2011 11:00am PDTThis week Christian Spicer joins Jeff and Garnett on the show and they waste no time getting into the games. Well, okay, there might be a little NBA and NHL playoffs talk but then it's right on to Rage, Portal 2, Dragon Age 2 (Jeff finished it with 65 hours on the clock), and more. Of course, the big news of user data getting stolen from the PlayStation Network gets plenty of discussion as does the confirmation from Nintendo that a new console will indeed debut at E3. When Finishing Moves wraps it all up, the time has flown by.

In this conversation, we're calling stupid people "normal people".
Honestly, if a person can say that videogames are violent and a waste of time, then they're idiots. Full stop. These same people are more than happy to sit their asses on a couch and passively watch television, anything from action movies to Jersey Shore, but asking them to actually CONTRIBUTE to what's happening on screen is a pointless endeavor? Fuck them.
Likewise, if they are too stupid to realize that video games are still video games, whether there's a controller or not, then I'm more than happy to let them languish behind the bell curve and miss out on the fun I, and other smart people, are enjoying.
