Man bashes DS and praises PSP in incredibly asinine manner

Ever run into a true fanboy who will bash one system for something, then praise another for the exact same thing, or for a feature less impressive or useful than a feature on the system he bashes? This man does that in spades, bashing the DS without ANY research (when you don't even know what the hell the initials for the unit you are bashing mean when they are its biggest selling point, you've done no research), utterly biased, afactual, and outright false (his 'trampoline' story about the DS is bull, or a horribly freak accident. I've had mine hit concrete and not even dent, much less break), and to be frank, he's not an orator of any skill whatsoever.

Worth a single watch, I think, just to see how incredibly stupid this man is. As a friend of mine mentioned- "Everytime I think he's hit rock bottom, he says something even dumber."

Unless I am horribly mistaken, this man is doing a very bad job of being satirical. I still don't see the point of the video, but there is no way he's being serious.

.........

I dearly hope he was being satiracle...and not being serious...

he said "it's a fact, look it up" or "I heard it on the news" enough times in the film, that I was half tempted to close the tab before his insanity threatened to infect me.

He did absolutly zero research if he was being serious in this video, and a couple of his points are, "wtf?" moments, like you can't use the DS to play wifi with a friend who has a PSP, or you won't be able to use the DS as a controller for the PS3, while the PSP will be.

oh...and the PSP is better because it has speakers.

So....the DS doesn't?

Changing from black and white to color isn't worth it, but changing to widescreen is?

"I heard it on the radio"?

It's gotta be a joke.

Given that he said $300 is too much to pay for the DS, it has to be a joke. (He is right though: that is too much to pay for the DS since it retails for less than half that.) Actually, much of what he said was completely true and purposefully taken out of context to make it sound "bad" for the DS. (You can't connect a DS to a PSP, for example.)

Other things were just wrong, though. "Horrible battery life" because of the touchscreen, when the PSP's battery life (being less than the DS) is apparently a major complaint about the PSP.

Now I will admit I have no love for the DS. But this guy is just nuts. I couldent resist posting some of his more "interesting" quotes.

"With the DS they always use the term gigaflop, gigaflop is garbage folks. You need a gigabyte. They try to trick you at nintendo, over there-... Nintendo is a Japanese company uh and they and some of there reports on there systems they try to trick you by saying giga-gigaflop or something, they try to trick you into thinking its super fast. The truth is the Sony PSP is faster"

Nintendo is a Japanese company and they try to trick you with some of there reports trying to make you think its super powerful. And Sony isnt??? Has he never heard any of the "CELL" wank??? on the PS3???

"They have a light and thats going to waste the battery and ruin the entire experience and its not going to be fun"

So if your playing at night its more fun to not be able to see what your doing???

"Its not going to be fun like the PSP is built around the idea of fun. Sony is a fun company, lots of fun stuff. Sony makes laptops there also pretty fun"

What do laptops have to do with the DS???

Sony is a fun company with lots of fun stuff!

Yes especially there nifty rootkit programs!

"The PSP is going to be able to work as a controller for the PS3, the DS is not going to work as a controller for the PS3, look it up"

ZOMG!!1!!##! You mean to tell me I cannot use my DS on the PS3!?!?!?!?!
TREASON!!! NINTENDO IS TEH SUXORS!!! I think im going to go play my Soviet made PSP in the dark because everything is better when you cannot see it!!! VIVA LA ROOTKIT!!! LONG LIVE SONY!1!

This man is clearly a fucking moron or intentionally trying to get people riled.

The assertation that the DS is virtually the same hardware as the original 1987 Gameboy is so fucking retarded I wanted to slap the hell out of him right then and there.

Let's see...grainy amber and black graphics to much higher resolution full color screens, 2D vs. 3D, and link cables versus wi-fi. Never mind the touchscreen which allows for whole new kinds of games. Rechargable batter to avoid spending a fortune on AA's, and of course the retarded assertation that the battery life must be shit because of the touchscreen. Funny, I'd think you'd lose more battery life using a CD, but hey, what do I know?

Why the fuck does this moron exist?

Edit: The more I watch of this shit, the more I think he's trying to piss people off. Of course, I've been horribly disappointed about people's stupidity in the past.

Great. Now all the Nintendo fanboys are going to use this guy to back up their tu quoque fallacies.

I watched right up until I heard him say that the DS uses 19 year old technology.

He's either lying, an outright idiot, or just enjoys pissing people off.

In fact, the Nintendo DS lacks the Z80, hence why it cannot play older GB/GBC games (unlike the GBA, which had a Z80 for legacy purposes alongside its ARM CPU).

Actually, using his logic, you can argue that the PS3 is going to suck because it's using 11 1/2 year old tecnology, from when the PS1 first came out.
