the background noise

Today's moment of pure towering achievement over the lesser accolades of the human race comes to you via ModNation Racers: Road Trip . Because only the cutting-edge gaming technology of 2014 can truly bring us both the magic and the wonder of stone.

Looks like the world is getting something called PlayStation Now whether it wants it or not in the near future. An all-new all-singing all-dancing service where PS2 and PS3 games are streamed to about as many devices as can run them. Cloud gaming, backwards compatibility, the future is now and the now is then. Welcome back to the past!

As you may know I temporarily lost my mind to insanity whilst purchasing my PS4 and in my moment of fleeting madness I found myself purchasing a PlayStation Vita as well. Presumably I was acting on some latent urge to own one but that's probably rationalising my thought process to an absurd degree, assuming of course there was a thought process involved and not a mindless impulse to own more stuff. After owning one for the past few weeks I think I can now form my thoughts about it into an easy to digest blog format. Here goes.

Not pictured: my limitless joy! Circa 12.11 last night I walked out of GAME with a bag packed to the brim with all forms of wholesome Sony goodness. Not having attended a launch before I wasn't sure what I expected beforehand but what I got was less the horror of midnight retail and more an orderly, sane process where I got my console in super quick time.

Happy Playstation 4 Day! Of course it is but the North American rendition of this glorious moment. The main event that is the European launch materialising a mere two weeks from now. Only the laws of time and space seperate me from my pre-ordered console now.
