gaming, zen, and consumerism

Ask any gaming fanboy what they think of the current console wars, and inevitably the subject of what a sucker I am for owning a gamecube comes up. But see, Nintendo is doing just fine, thanks.

How bad can a console be when the nearly unanimous game of the year (Metroid Prime) from every gaming site out there is exclusive to it? How bad can it be when you will be the only person to get Zelda, F-Zero, All Stars Melee, Mario Kart .. etc, etc, etc. Once Halo and GTA3 hits the PC, Real Soon Now, there are going to be a lot of silly looking console owners ...

In other news, did you know its impossible to find a cardboard box 5 feet long, even if you're willing to pay for it? It's true. Hrm, maybe I can hit some discount funeral home .. anybody know if the discount packages include cardboard coffins? That'd be perfect.
