[quote]Step 1 - Swear that system X has no good games. At all.

The self-proclaimed "hardcore" may read up on every game, discuss every game and spout what we try to pass off as authoritative opinions on every game... but none of us actually get to play every game. And one of the biggest reasons for this is that - despite all our big talk - most of us can't afford to buy every system the games come out on. At some point, each of us has to choose one console over another. Then live with that decision for the rest of our lives... or at least the next five years.

So what do we do? In a subconscious trick straight out of an introductory psych textbook, true snobs convince themselves - retroactively, of course - that all the hardware they passed on is complete rubbish anyway. As is the software released for it. They're not really missing out on anything.[/quote]
