I wonder if all the late night advertising for the trailer was worth it. There is no way anyone sat there thru the whole 30 minute spot and watched the timer tick down.
The hype for the trailer was a bit of a let down. It has given me second thoughts about the game too. Is it really going to be worth the price of a 360?
I suggest ordering them OEM direct from nintendo on their website. Thats what I finally did. Now I 'm just waiting for the Wii-play/remote bundle to get my fourth Wii-mote.
Theoretically, couldn't you copyright the likeness of your own house? It is your property, as long as you don't default on the mortgage. Any work you do on it would be your own IP, I guess. So then, what right does some company have to make money off of selling the image of your house? What if you wanted to sell images of your own house? IANAL, so I don't really have a good base of knowledge on this, I'm just going off of general sense.
I bought wrist/ankle weights a few weeks before I got my Wii. They work! The little bit of weight resistance can be felt and I can tell it is working my muscles. They were only $20 for the pair. Just them on your forearm(s) using the Velcro(TM) straps and you've got a decent work out for your arms. Luckily I walk to work as well, so they double as ankle weights.
Who uses there real identity on the internet these days anyway? The only time my real name gets used is where finances are concerned. Nothing more, nothing less.
The wqay I understand news agencies these days, is it's more about profit and the shareholder now. The news agency isn't going to pay for the extra expenses of researching that much. You can see it now with the lack of fact checking and the inclusion of advertisements disguised as news stories.
Something like the fairness doctrine will force news agencies to be wise with their budgets instead of simply short changing the research staff. Accuracy will become the best policy, not how sensational the spin.
I believe the intent of the fairness doctrine is more to get the facts underlying an arguement out to the general public. Let the "man on the street" think for himself. If you want to include an opinion, then you should probably provided equal time to more than one of the most prevalent sides of the arguement.
I was never very good at the Commodore version. I blame it on youth and inexperience. I think I was only five or six years old when I first played it. Gearing up properly and budgeting was essential it seemed. I would frequently go broke within a few missions and end up not being able to pay the bills. Power bill? Uh oh, can't make that this month. Goodbye containment.
Is Mars really worth studying all that much? I mean, with the calculated decay of the moon Phobos, Mars will be quite different in a matter of 150 years or so.
Not to mention the many local laws stating that arson, or destruction of property, whether it is your own or not, is a fine-able offense. I've seen it used as a way to slap wrists when no other option is available.
I suppose not one of these console scalpers cares that they hurt the market for the games on these machines. That extra $50-100 in price that is being forced on early adopters of the new consoles hurts the game publishers and in turn the consoles and the market for those consoles.
I mean really, would someone please think of the profits?!?
Okay, how many fewer games are being bought because of the low supply/high demand/eBay mark-up trend? The money to purchase games for the console has to come from somewhere, and I'd suspect it is all going towards just getting a PS3 console into a home.
Should Sony go after eBay resellers for damages? Could they?
Karoake Revolution - Great party game, especially if you are having a drinking party and everyone is loose. -*****-
Mario Strikers - A new up and comer for us, usually sports games don't entertain us. This one as that special and interesting flavor that can't be described and can't be found elsewhere. -*****-
Halo 2 - Good for quick pick up games when you are waiting for other people to meet up at someone's house before going out. -***00-
Super Smash Brothers Melee - An all around good time! Great for people (like me) who don't have the button mashing skills that are needed for fighting games. 99 lives games are a lot of fun. -****0-
Twisted Metal 2 - An age old classic from my highschool days. The guys really got nuts over this one. -***00-
Goldeneye/Perfect Dark - Honorable mention, since I can no longer play these games, but in their day they were the only choice for a party game for my group of friends. -****0-
The only probable bugs with the Wii, will be with the new controller. Mainly because the console architecture has had all of the last generation to work out whatever bugs may have been there, which were remarkably few for the 'Cube, in comparison to the competition. I've owned all three of the last generation consoles, the only the works as good as the day I bought it (Used!), is the Gamecube. Peronally I thought the 'Cube was the winner as of the last go 'round because of this, although I am a big GTA fan.

Actually, no, don't. The Cooking Mama game for the Wii is crap. If possible, get the DS version instead, or try something else entirely.
Sure, Dark Matter is the star of the show, but we all know he would be nothing if it weren't for the supporting cast, and the great script.
Kinda like the muppet babies, only more Rastafarian influence.
Am I wrong, or does this sound too much like a bribe for the right provide the services?
I think the change pretty much makes it illegal for any firm with a presence in the U.S. to get the contract due to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
If it's just Settler's than no.
I can't go back to that after playing Knights of Catan.

I had the same problem finding controllers.

Only if they are responding to an emergency. They must use their emergency lights at a minimum so that innocent motorists aren't put in danger.
Wow. It's very similar to what my refrigerator sounds like.

I guessing it would be an exclusive sequel for the Wii?
Lets not misrepresent or exagerate the truth.

Hmm... They managed to scrape together enough time and money to get a Wii.
How about; Not at all?

So Microsoft is no longer the rookie company? Haven't shot a rifle? What?
