BBC Newsnight Talks Wii and PS3
Theres a TV program in the UK called, Newsnight. On that program, these lovely Brits decide to take the PS3 and the Wii for a whirl…here are their opinions. Wha’? What’s this?! They’re actually enjoying themselves!?!? I’m impressed! These people, especially the older man who sits to the left, seem like their idea of fun is sipping tea while discussing the goings on of the Empire! Rule Britannia! Silly pompous critics, games are for cool people…. ;p

Wierd.
That lady with the brown hair on the left was a little b****. She was only hating on the systems. She had nothing good to say about wither of them? Wow lady, I don’t like you.
ouch
good on newsnight for paying them some attention… but this makes all my britishness ache.
Heh – I’m sure Paul Morley (‘older’ guy on the left) would smirk at your impressions of him – he was a journalist for the NME (uber-cool British music magazine), and co-founded ZTT records – which among other acts, launched Frankie Goes To Hollywood (Ask your Dads).
It’s great to see stuff like this – gamers (and gay gamers) aren’t all teenagers – in fact some of us have were playing before some of you lot were born ;)

The guy seemed bothered by the fact that he had to say “Wii” out loud, didn’t he?
And when he goes on the “2geek4tv” “2rampage4tvboringchat”, the women acquired a horrifying sense of superiority in their eyes as they looked at what seemed like—in their circle—a man going all geek-boy-lapse, as if they had a leverage on him or something.
The whole thing, very scary. From the comments about “virtual reality” (I think his only reference is that Aerosmith Alicia Silverstone clip), to old lady just saying the world and kids and future are going straight to hell, to the girl depreciating all as a guilty boy-fantasy pleasure.
And also the most geeky and nerdy man I’ve seen overcompensating that he doesn’t have such a boyish-nerd facet—seemed like a true brit in front of the question if he masturbates at the age of 40.
“I hate computers and all these sweet cum-inducin… ahem, these techno-babble supernerd machinery that wastes your time and your serious mature self-owned disposition and—oh fuck it! Wii me up before you go-go!!!!!!!!!”
