Happy “Nerd Year” 2012 From Nerd Appropriate!
We just wanted to write you all a quick message and thanks for joining us this year here at NerdAppropriate.com! 2011 was an incredible year for all things nerdy and we had an absolute blast talking games, movies, and nerd culture with those of you that were brave enough to check out our content. While things have been in a bit of a “transition” here at the site, we’re not going anywhere! 2012 will feature all new interviews, convention reports, podcasts, and toilet humor, so fear not!
I am afraid of the new consoles cause I somehow doubt my massive Rock Band music library would transfer over! Eek!
That is incredibly scary to think about.
honestly other than the latest greatest hardware, what more can they do? My Xbox360 already plays games, streams movies, tv, and music, uses cloud storage, downloads games instantly, works with or without a control (if you have Kinect), helps manage social apps, lets you video chat (again with Kinect), surfs the web. I mean with all the things you can already buy through xbox live they might as well just put an amazon app on there and be done with!
All
that’s required for me to upgrade is for the progression in gaming quality
we’ve seen in this console generation to continue into the next. Considering
that there is more attention, cultural influence, money, and talent in the
gaming industry than ever before, I don’t see that changing.
I am
however cautious as to what will be required to upgrade. How much will my new console cost? The initial price of the PS3 was $600, and
the hardware is only getting more expensive.
Will it require a 24/7 smooth internet connection knowing that many
areas around the country and overseas have spotty coverage at best? Will I need a top of the line television to
play?
These
are important questions, but as long as I keep seeing further improvements in
gameplay and narrative (the best example being Mass Effect), I’m in.
