Could be, could be. I find they also make great drinks coasters.

Trust me, Kikizo's a very, very long way from dead - our ever-expanding roster of high profile interviewees should be evidence enough of that - but the old girl is due a sprucing up, yes. I favour building in an iPhone porn section and comprehensive Twitter coverage of my laundry basket.

You may not give a fuck about Bluray, dan (tbh, I'm not hugely bothered either) but scores of millions do.

The main site is alive and kicking, the forums not so much.

Yeah, true enough. Get posting.

Because it beats working (and it's about the only games related site my work firewall lets me see)

and

www.terrorizer.com/forum

to discuss music.  And other general stuff.

Here is what happened i think, kikizo forum started going down hill since 2007, sometimes after many "key" people stoped posting, it seems that the remaining interesting people followed suit months later, posting only occasionaly.

notice that most members in the forum have registred between 2004-2006, this is the time when the current console were about to show up, there was so many topics to discuss, it was an exciting time and even flame wars were everywhere and funny at times. almost every new game announced was given a lot of interest and we were so eager to see what the current console are capable of ...

after 2007, things started to settle down in the industry, we know what to expect, no more big surprises (almost....) and even the recent E3 didn't save it because people were gone already, but what really nailed is the wave of new members that stroke mayhem to the forum, yes we wished for new members but with some degree of maturity. So this is it, this is why kikizo is not the way it used to be, may be it'll take off again when the next gen consoles will be announced, we'll see.

The reason is, X-bots.. who can't take anyone talking positive towards any console but xbox. too many narrow minded kids. It's a bit like playing Xbox LIVE... a total Put-off..  For New Posters and alike.


I find it entertaining to post about Wii titles now and again, the reactions have been hilarious.

Nah, this forum has had massive xbox fanboyism since its inception, even when it was the gamerweb forums, that's not the problem.  It's actually alot less fanboyish now, it's mostly anti-nintendo because Wii is gay as fuck.  You have no clue what you're talking about, as usual.

that blu ray site looks oddly familiar.. 

BlueRay is irrelevant. It will never reach DVD mass, the internet will put a nail in its expensive(relative to DVD or piracy) coffin.

As for the "xbot" fanboys, VF, perhaps you havent noticed, but  a lot of our regulars have a 360 and PS3. A lot of them even prefer the PS3(silent being one of them). The reason the Wii gets bashed is, as evilman said, its fucking gay. Period. 3 playable games cant save a console from the mountain of shovelware.

Wii is gay.  PS3 was designed by executives instead of engineers.

Remember in 2004 when I said Xbox 360 would outsell PS3?

I told you so fags.

Wii is for homosexuals.  Xbox360 is for repressed homosexuals.  Yup, if you like the 360, then you secretly wish you were sucking cock.  PS3 is for people who want to scan X-rays and cure cancer, not play games.

If I own 2 PS3s, a 360 and a Wii, wouldn't the gayness sort of cancel out the desire to cure cancer?

Just trying to find a balance.

No, it just means that you are a gay cancer patient.

Hmm, well that sucks. Is there a console out there which doesn't have any sexual or pathological strings attached?

(It's the PC, isn't it. Somebody's going to have a rant about how the PC is the only non-gay, non-cancerous gaming device on the market. Brace yourselves.)

PC makes you homeless I'm afraid.

It depends....

PC gamers who don't have a 360 or PS3 = Retards
PC only gamers are 40 year old virgins with an elitist internet persona.
PC + Wii gamers are gay, the wii's gayness overrides the PC's attributes.  However, they are not flamboyantly gay, they are the type of homos that you can't tell they're gay until they admit it, whereas Wii only gamers are flamboyantly gay and easily recognized as homosexuals because they speak, dress, and act like Big Gay Al:

What if it's a really pimped-out PC? Surely one of these bastards is dumb fuck elite enough to quell the Wii's excessive homo vibes.

My profile picture is pissing me off with its unwarranted twattishness. NOW CHANGING.

Heh, thats the most absurdly inflated name for a CPU.

Yeah, it's not like they have to compensate for anything :D

I have that CPU.

There's still no reason for anyone to upgrade from a 3ghz or higher core 2 duo IMO.
