Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

My friends, after today's events, we must accept the fact that Today, the industry died. Our hope, our dreams, it's all over. The tyrannical will of shareholders has destroyed our hobby, taking with it decades of beloved memories. The Gaming Industry, the 9th art form, has been finally corrupted by the biggest evil of it all, money.

Let's have a moment and let's share our favorite videogames stories!

(^._.^)~ RIP Video Games industry September 9, 1995 - May 21 2013 ~(^._.^)

Wait a second, gaming is older.

And come on, there's always PC and Nintendo, and Sony if they're smart.

this is why ueda-sama left sony, so that he can follow his dream of expanding minds while The Artform of Games collapsed behind him

This thread would be funny if not for the fact that the PS4 is also going to be available soonish. The title should have been about the day that Micro$oft gaming died.

I want to slap the shit out of you for saying gaming was born in 1995.

Yeah. It's as though arcades, Intellivision/Colecovision/Atari 2600/NES/SNES/Genesis etc never existed before that. Hell, it doesn't even make any sense simply due to the fact that there's a picture of the NES in the OP. Unless they simply unwrapped it in 1995.

You could just buy one of Xbox's competitors if it really bothers you that much, you know. They have more than one even!
