Video Games, you’re my hero! You once again saved me from doing something productive. Internet, good job to you too!

Math and Scribblenauts explain a few things, too.

I’m not here to talk about the Playstation 3′s foray into the area of motion controlled peripherals. I’m not here to debate whether their attempt is superior or inferior to that of their competitors. I’m not even here to joke on glowing ball thing on the top that reminds me of those bobbing antennas that you wore on your head as kids. No, I’m here to ask one question. Again, Sony? I had thought that with the exemplar showing of Playstation 2 that Sony had gotten out of the business of ripping Nintendo off, but I guess I was wrong.

The original Playstation a.k.a. PS1 and not the PSX (that was something completely different) had this controller. A controller that was done so well that Sony has basically cloned it and recloned it for the PS2 and PS3. The thing is, the controller is just a Super NES controller with handle thingies at the bottom.

Later this same Playstation controller (Now called a Dual Analog controller because it had two duel analogs sticks added to it, which is cool. I give credit where credit is due.) also had this vibration thing added to it and became the Dual Shock controller. Once again, the this vibration concept was a rip off from Nintendo and their rumble paks for the N64 controllers.

And now their new Playstation Move controllers are nothing more than blatant ripoffs of the Nintendo Wiimote and nunchuk. Sure they moved buttons around and made it a little different. For example, it’s black and the Wiimotes are white. And it also has that glowing ball thing on top that was specifically added there to say, “Hey, I’ve got a great idea! Let’s ripoff Nintendo, again.”

Seriously… It’s a ripoff and a blatant one at that too. But if you can’t see it, then I guess you can’t see that Avatar is really Disney’s Pocahontas either. I’m just saying.

So there I am sketching a picture of a Dalek on my notepad, when I realize that the base and shape of a Dalek is very similar to a Nintendo Wii. And from that the birth of the Wii Dalek was born. I guess that kind of makes me like Davros… without the kick ass chair.

Speaking of Doctor Who (Daleks are from Doctor Who, just in case you didn’t know), don’t forget that Planet of the Dead premieres this Easter Sunday on BBC One. But even more importantly, Red Dwarf will be returning to television on Easter weekend as well with three brand new episodes and a making of special, too. So if you don’t get Dave (the channel, not Lister), make sure to check the torrent sites to get the episodes… just like I will be doing next Friday night.

Update: Here’s the desktop versions of the comic as requested and promised:

Revolution of the Daleks (1600 x 1200, 1024 x 768)

Until next time…

For the next few weeks I will be running guest strips on Dueling Analogs. With a life changing event (life, not sex) happening at anytime now, it was a good solution to avoid sporadic updates. That said I will still be updating the outer circle, responding to emails and orders from BigBoomBomb.com will continue to ship as well. I’ll just be taking a breather from the gaming webcomics, though I’ll still be playing video games and probably watching anime, too… When I get a chance and sleep doesn’t feel like a better option.

So in the interim, enjoy some guest strips.
