Internet provocateur Pete Dodd on Monday called the gaming masses to action, urging console fans everywhere to take to their keyboards and fight a bitter battle over which platform holder will ultimately reign supreme.
In a stirring message to anyone who has shed a tear over an exclusive game appearing on a system they don't own, Famous Mortimer released some of the first points from what we believe to be a multi-chapter manifesto for system warriors everywhere:
A console warrior doesn't admit that their company of choice has ever done anything wrong. And will argue against logic and facts.

As anyone who has owned a less popular console knows, it can be a trying experience to live with a machine whose very viability is in question. Dreamcast fans, for example, are well aware of the fact that if they just believed a little harder and scored a few more points on the Gaming-Age forums in that Golden Age before "NeoGAF," Sega would still be alive today and the Dreamcast 3 would be the dominant platform of the new generation.Likewise, everyone knows that if you back the dominant platform, it's essential to kick your rivals when they're down -- you never know when your multimillion-dollar corporation of choice will pull a Virtual Boy or offer a launch message so tin-eared as Sony's two-job PS3 recommendation.
Whatever the case, the Internet today looks to Dodd as a revolutionary leader and awaits further instruction.
