“he said, she said” is a new site feature where two overtimers from opposite sides of the gender war, daroff (dude) and jenni (lady), duke it out over a few of their favorite things. first, you’ll read their overall feelings on the topic of debate and then an instant messenger (or IM, if you will) conversation as they hash out the finer points. ain’t technology grand?
he said: this game sucks. she said: this game is better than zelda, for reals.
he said: journey is a step up from a broadway musical, and not the good ones either. i’m talking cats.
she said: steve perry is my master.

jenni: here we go
jenni: now i will show you how awesome journey is
daroff: oh great, i am totally and completely and utterly thrilled
jenni: exhibit 1: they have their own video game
daroff: but the game looks totally lame. sure, it’s got some midi of a journey song
jenni: steve perry fighting flying switchblades is totally sweet
daroff: but the game looks pretty stupid
jenni: not any stupider than space invaders at least he can move up and down
daroff: oh look, now he has a gun
daroff: remember that time steve perry went nuts with a gun?
jenni: check out the awesome concert scene!
daroff: yeah, but during the concert, you’re not even a part of the band, you’re a security guard
jenni: seperate ways is your reward for fighting evil!
daroff: but you’re not fighting evil, you’re avoiding obstacles
jenni: yeah…evil obstacles
daroff: i declare this point invalid. NEXT!
jenni: exhibit b: guitar hero 2
daroff: still not convinced
jenni: expert level baby
daroff: another video game? you’re basically proving my point that journey has no merits on its own
jenni: i’m proving they are so amazing they expand far beyond their music alone
daroff: does journey have one, single non-video game redeeming value?
jenni: they aren’t a band…they are a way of being
daroff: so was phish, but phish are just a bunch of hippies
jenni: dude, their guitar hero level is harder than free bird~!
daroff: there’s like no guitar part
jenni: you have to wait for it. journey starts when it is ready
daroff: well i want to listen to good music when i’m ready
jenni: BLASHPHEMY!
jenni: exhibit tres: family guy
jenni: even animation loves journey
jenni: adam west loves journey
daroff: damn it
jenni: guys in wheelchairs love journey
daroff: i hate you
jenni: the dead love journey
daroff: you make a good point, however
jenni: they inspire the untalented to feel talented
daroff: the music of journey is still several kinds of lame
daroff: yeah, take that
jenni: list these supposed “several kinds”
daroff: numero uno: it sounds like a musical. if i wanted a rock opera, i’d rent rent
jenni: steve perry doesn’t have aids…therefore, he is not lame
daroff: hitler didn’t have aids either
jenni: steve perry didn’t order the death of jews…therefore, he is amazing
daroff: neither did dane cook, but he’s still lame
jenni: exhibit four: steve perry is a superhero
jenni: check out his cape!
daroff: numero dos: he’s in his 50s and he’s wearing a fucking cape
jenni: it is golden!
daroff: yeah, it’s golden, look at it
jenni: and it’s actually a flag
daroff: sweet, flag desecration is awesome
jenni: steve perry is a patriot!
daroff: patriot? to what country? goldenland?
jenni: listen to those germans sing along! steve perry brings nations together!
daroff: yes. all nations, under crap, indivisible
daroff: with liberty and lame music for all
jenni: hey, you don’t see W bringing people this kind of joy
daroff: okay, journey is better than W. and i’d also go out on a limb and say they’re better than a kick in the balls
jenni: I’ll give steve perry’s balls somethin’ let me tell you!
daroff: i shouldn’t talk, i like blink 182
jenni: SHE HAS SPOKEN
