Donkey Kong Freakout

Check out this kid that is obviously upset about his banana’s and clearly wants to treat them poorly. This .GIF was made as a spoof on the recent video of the kid that lost his World of Warcraft account. Check out that video here. And yes, he did try to shove it up his butt.

Grinds My Gears: Console Lag

You know what really grinds my gears? Lag on consoles. Lag is an inevitable part of video games, especially when playing over the Internet or perhaps on a sub-par computer. However, why do some games lag on consoles? I mean seriously, yeah they might have a lot of textures to load, but when developing a game for a console, there is only one hardware requirement to meet. There should be no reason for there to ever be any lag on consoles when it’s being played offline. Yeah games need to load, but when they interrupt crucial gameplay that’s when it hurts the worst. I recently noticed this while playing Skate 2; Skate features an open world, however, I never really noticed lag until recently and frequently in the same spots. This might seem like not too big of a deal as it lasts for under a second or so, but when it interrupts the flow of the game and causes the player to fail a trick then it really messes with the feel of the game. So developers need to make sure that games pushed out for consoles are able to really flow seamlessly if they are going to advertise it as such. And that is what really grinds my gears. What do you think? Do you ever run into lag while playing on consoles, and what do you think about it?
