It never ceases to amaze me how the leader of the current generation goes into the next one full of arrogance. Sony certainly were that way when they were introducing the PS3 and were slapped back into reality. Now it's Microsoft, who always have come off to me as shysters taking advantage of the weak-minded, easily swayed, impressionable people who believe what some "video game journalist" says, turn when Orthy the Orator went on Twitter and blabbed out that you will need to be online at all times to use their next console.

The 1912 featured in Bioshock Infinite is not too far off from the society that was prevalent in the U.S. at the same time. A quick read of the history books or Wikipedia can confirm it and I hope many people who are playing this amazing game will take some time to read about pre-WW1 America. An age of progress, an age where Evangelical religion was dominant and a time where people who weren't WASPs were at a disadvantage in some cases.

I am not a fan of Yoichi Wada. For years, I felt the guy had zero idea of how to create and market Final Fantasy games. He wanted to create more Western-style games over titles that had that distinct Japanese feel. He seemed oblivious to whatever the fans wanted. While his company did publish some decent games the last 2 years, it was the lack of a new Final Fantasy and endless side stories to the mediocre Final Fantasy XIII that did him in, resulting in SE posting a huge loss.

So, did Anonymous unmask himself yet?

As an atheist, I've always been fascinated by the people who live in the U.S. Bible Belt. I know a lot of 1up refugees live in that area of the U.S. What's it like to live in a part of the U.S. where God, church attendance and trying to live a Christ-like life on Earth are paramount to you and 90% of the populace? Would you actually allow your kid to attend a Promise Ring Ball. How would your people on March 9, 2013 react if I told them "I'm an atheist."?

As I hinted in my last blog, I was perma-banned from yet another website. This time it was PSX Extreme that banned me.

Last week, I tried to buy a used Wii U from Ottawa Kijiji. The seller was offering a Deluxe Wii with an unopened NSMBWU for $375. I contacted him via e-mail and gave him my cellular number as I wanted to drive over and purchase it after seeing if it worked. The seller did answer my e-mail but never confirmed where he lived or when I could come over. After a couple of days, I gave up and have yet to find someone else putting a Wii U up for sale.

There is another website I visit and a couple of the notable people there (the administrator and the tech guy) are very disappointed that Sony will not be bringing in new technology for the PS4. It will be made of PC parts and will have little proprietary material inside it.

My name is Brian Ghattas and I'm from Ottawa, Ontario. I am also a refugee from 1up.com and in fact was the website's best and most honest blogger. In my case, I never was interested in being an attention seeker or looking for approval. All I want to discuss is the honest truth about video games and our society in 2013. I have no ego and no complex of any kind. I just want to discuss my views on life and if you have anything to add or suggest, I'll be glad to respond.
