Sorry Destin and Colette (if offended) I don't have anything against either of you (in fact you guys make my favourite segment on screwattack), but I really think it is extremely obvious that both of you have something together. You always joke and laugh... well there you go, now Craig is going to post a video of you two having text sex I'm just messing with you. Hey were did Handsome Tom go? Yeah I spelled favourite right ... gosh darn Americans in which I have nothing against except for zee instead of zed.

Good to see that I can keep my PSP in use for another few years! People can flame the PSP all they want, but it is still a great handheld console with a hell of a lot to offer!
Oh yea, and The Beatles?! I almost pissed my pants!!!

We get that you all love the nintendo and hate Sony, give it a break already, it is no longer funny. I understand jealous to some extent, but geesh, give it a rest.
Submitted by gunmouse on Tue, 06/24/2008 - 2:42pm.
ive had a psp since launch date, and its as good or better than any other handheld. Remember, it is a handheld, the graphics are better than the ds and possibly the wii. If you all hate Sony so much, THEN STOP REPORTING THEIR NEWS.
Submitted by gunmouse on Tue, 06/24/2008 - 7:32pm.
I have everything from an nes to all the current gen systems, they are all great. I just get sick and tired of people bashing the Sony for making successful news, while the other systems are lucky to make news at all.
Submitted by Nintendo64 on Tue, 06/24/2008 - 9:36pm.
Possibly better than the Wii? Are you kidding me? The Wii is slightly better than the Xbox which was the best lookin last gen console.. The PSP is on about the same level as the Dreamcast the worse looking last gen console..
And best handheld? The library is good but not because of its graphics.. The DS has a more diverse and larger library of great games, not to mention the GBA library..
And please dont try and pull that emulation card..
First you need a modded PSP and if you do the only emulators that work decently are the weaker ones like SNES and Genesis... And even some of the better games for them are laggy and unplayable on a PSP..
No way that the psp is on the same level as the dreamcast. The dreamcast is greatness, in its short lifespan killed by the playstation fanbase, it is a pretty good console with almost every game being nothing but greatness.
As for the psp, you have to dig and dig for good games and get past the PS2 ports. Anyone heard of Chili Con Carnage? Its a great PSP game that even fanboys haven't heard of.

Well, some people are more affected by violent video games, movies etc. I have watched horror flicks and played some pretty violentic stuff since I was a kid, and I'm "a normal guy" too.
On the other hand, my friend has the same background, but nowadays he's "GTA-addict" and doesn't think about anything else than videogames. He thinks that he can live his life like some guy from GTA, shooting up people and running away from cops. God bless that he still has school to finish, I doubt that I would see him ever again if he was on his own.
So yeah, some people are shocked and "scarred" more easily, and some people believe all stuff that they hear, so I think that every parent should kinda watch what their kids play.
Hey Destin, great episode! Yeah I have a PSP and a DS and congrats Sony, your PSP has sat in a drawer for probably 8 of the 10 months i have owned it. And 10 years? really? well i am sure Nintendo won't sit on there hardwear that long, i don't know if that is because they belive in there hardwear or if they are just too lazy to develop a new system. Thumbs down Sony!
DESTIN! what happened though! You haven't mentioned anything about what is going on with Blizzard?! is Diablo 3 coming?! wtf i don't know!? does anyone? omg i hope so. and i hope it wasn't a letdown like Diablo 2 (damn you blizzard for removing a guild system just before launch).
Lastly... Hey Destin... Colette sure enjoys being on your show, maybe you should hit that up? Funny, fun, hot. Solve those gf problems man! She sure seems like a good place to start!
We British are great, coming up with such a creative way to make kids do "bad" things which we can later moan about and blame them for even though we told them how to do it, well done the BBC, i can almost hear all the people of Britian tutting as they hear about kids are buying mature games of the internet in a few weeks, it won't be long before the BBC starts tellin kids how to get free porn just so they have a good story about how bad the kids of today are.
mmmmmm....full length Collette. Awesome.
this is my first comment here at Screwattack. I just had to register and post this.
Screwattack guys-steal Collette and put her next to Destin EVERY DAY for the news. Destin is good by himself 'n' all, but those two together would murder it.
And maybe Destin would have someone who appreciates his sense of humor and works WITH it, NOT someone who makes snarky comments and puts him down.

Arn't these kids going to need a credit card for these online purchases. So unless its the parents giving them permision to buy it with their money (ie. buying it for the kids) then the children or just theifs to begin with. Although they may be trying to save money to fix the horrible british smiles.
Well they could just take the credit card from their parents with out them knowing and technically that not stealing, its identity fraud (which ok does involve stealing and does make them theif but we just call it something else). Also if your British you would know that the bbc is well known for talk out of its arse and will properly be apologizing for this by next week or it on BBC new 24 and no one really watches that unless a natural disaster has happened or something so really doesn't matter they can say what ever they like there no one watchin
Submitted by Deff_Metal on Tue, 06/24/2008 - 4:12pm.
Of course kids will find ways to get M rated stuff.
That's their psyche. If you tell a kid that he or she can't have something, then they want it even more.
I'm sure that we will blame our kid's behavior on something else meant for adults, like Souht Park, Rap music and Some other new media wich will make us nervous for our kids.
This "video games is the root for all evil" thing will go over in a decade or so. Just like How rock music has been blamed.
Ps. I love south park.
ps. 2. I should probably put this in a blog, but screw it.
This isn't really news at all. Getting hold of 18+ rated stuff online is a piece of piss here in the Britain. When I was 16 I bought the DVD of Fight Club from Play.com using my own debit card and and no point in the transaction did I get asked for proof of age. And it's not like I was buying it from some irresponsible trader on an auction site. Play.com is one of the biggest retail sites in the country. If I'd wanted to buy an 18+ rated game or even some porn it would have been just as easy.
that buying games online study is bull, the kids would need a credit card to buy stuff online, or somehow set up a secret bank account their parents don't know about and link it to paypal, which they can't do.

Destin is just giving his opinion and it doesn't cause any disaster because if you have the PSP and the PS3, then you will know he is just trying to joke around.
You can call them Xbox in denial, but nobody can't stop the future of Sony capabilities.
Submitted by Hylian100 on Wed, 06/25/2008 - 12:36am.
All joking around comments such as this sony-bashing are bound to come off as snide, good comedy and joking around will always offend people. Give the guy a break, it's been tradition among gamers for a couple of years now to slag Sony. When the PS3 and PSP are as good as the PS2 (quality-wise), then this'll all blow over.
Submitted by HighSchool Ben on Tue, 06/24/2008 - 9:52pm.
You want to hear us say something good about SONY?
PS1 and 2 were fantastic systems.
But PS3 and PSP are just horrible. The systems have great potential, but SONY just can't get good enough games on them! (Besides MGS4, but that's ONE game...)
Oh yeah, and a lot of other sony products suck too. Did you know their Mini DV tapes have a liquid in them that will eat away the insides of your camcorder if it's not SONY?
Submitted by rey_boboy666 on Wed, 06/25/2008 - 4:11am.
Horrible - extremely bad or unpleasant
Ps3 lacks the games, but it doesn't make it just horrible(Besides the exclusive MGS4, not including non-exclusives).
Is like me saying RROD makes the xbox 360 a horrible system (Besides Halo 3 and Gears of War, not including non-exclusives) or Nintendo Wii HD space is too small and the controllers are just horrible (Besides super smash brother brawl.)
a lot?
Yeah some sony products suck, but that is out of topic.

maybe harmonix (guys from rock band) will take the beatles under their wing.
after world tour the next guitar hero is Guitar Hero: Metallica
great vid Destin...collete is actually clear but...why is she standing up?
FRONT PAGE OF YAHOO(entertainment tab)
they say that both guitar hero and rock band are fighting for the songs :P
OMGLOLBBQ
No one takes The Beatles under their wing. They fucking rule.
Maybe The Beatles shine the light to harmonix and take them to next world!
harmonix:
Guitar Hero 1, Guitar Hero 2, Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks The 80's, Rock Band
Same here..
Collette always put a smile on my face, and dunno why LOL.

Little sad that PSP will keep on living :P
Luigi-Fan earned 100 XP

Luigi-Fan is now lv. 1337
Luigi-Fan learned ''Spam Attack''!!
Honestly
I am amazed that the PSP made it past 10 weeks. Is it sad when the best redeeming quality of a game platform is the ability to hack it?
Give it a break
