You're talking about a company who has more Mario titles and "collect the 'coin'" game-types than I care to count.
And if you did care, you might want to check SONY's record on collect the games. 10x more than nintendo, just from looking at the local rental store.
Innovation is not a word that comes to mind when I think of Nintendo.
Thats because you're a blind fanboy.
Nintendo has its problems. Lack of games, the relatively lackluster DS. (The games are shit, plain and simple, save for Mario DS)
If it wasn't for the immense RPG selection for the Gameboy Advance, I wouldnt have even bought the DS.
But alas, I'm enjoying Fire Emblem, sword of Mana, Superstar Saga, metroid, etc, All while waiting for Nintendo to get their act together with the DS lineup.
The GC needs more games. Nintendo needs to quit being the victim of the console wars and start thinking in terms of Super Nintendo.
Right.. However, the Serial number will tell the feds right where the printer was sold, then they check the cash register computer to find out exactly when it was sold.
After a quick check of the surveillance camera's, they've got your face (or the person who bought it, if its you) and are coming to raid your house.
My local library doesnt carry any star trek or HGTTG books.. I know, I've checked.
I will give props to the used bookstore bit, but they arent exactly common around where I live (and I get to be charged 5 bucks a book from most sites!)
They both cost money, but I'd have to go with getting rid of the games (I know, blasphemy).
When you're 60 years old and remembering the great times of your life, no ones going to say, "You know, I should have dumped that old broad and played more video games..."
I just walked into my local Gamestop. Then hit up my local Electronic's Boutique. Both of them had many many Handheld games that are priced from 14.99 up. NEW. Good ones, platformers, sports games, some movie tie-ins (ok, those arent that great)
Then I go over to the Used bin, and find 50 or so (per store) great titles for the GBA and GB that cost less than 10 bucks a pop. (tons less than 5)
Who do you go to when you're internet connection goes out? Or worse, when its so bad that there's a 3 second delay on the line and its all gibberish?
I'm not trying to say Vonage, sucks, I use it, and I've loved it for all most the entire period. But there have been times when I've had to use my cell phone for as much as 2 weeks while the Cable company fixes things.
The Cable company's response? Do you have cable? Yes. Do you have internet access? Yes. Sorry, thats all we're obligated to provide.
Having 1 when the other sucks, well, it also sucks.
Yes. But this is coming from someone who can beat a $50 dollar game in a weekend.
MMORPGs provide things an RPG cant. Interaction with others. MMORPGs provides things FPSes cant. Storylines, and persistant worlds. Its like buying a Gamecube, then paying 15 bucks a month for all the games you want. (Only its one game, and tons of content)
If you don't play video games that much. Fine. There's plenty of games that will accomidate ya. Guild Wars is a Diablo 2 clone that lets you interact with hundreds of people (and actually play with 4 different people), and doesnt require any monthly fees.
Easy. They only nominated games that caught their attention at E3 this year. It has no bearing on the actual game, just "hey, these games really brought some hype this time!"
I've heard comments from some of the insiders at Gamespot and they've got people in WOW beta, constantly addicted, game of the year type addicted.
Its just you cant justify "Best of E3" when it was the same thing as last year.
No. Unclaimed funds are turned over to whatever state they are found in. I had to travel to Missouri (I live in Georgia) and show proof of my identity to a number of government offices to get my Inheritance when I turned 21.

How about HD video, ITunes, video chat, p2p filesharing, web surfing, streaming, etc...
How about a game machine?
Some of us don't want to pay for 99% of features we'll never us.
30 minutes on 2 CDs? I can't lose!
Zoidberg's on his way to becoming a crafty consumer!
Hello, Operator? I'll take 8!
Yes. Yes it has. The problem with the right to rebel is that if it was possible, it wouldnt be a right. Not in this day and age, at least.
The 2nd ammendment is quite a farce; its used mainly so that we could have some peace of mind.
The facts:
Guns dont protect us from our government, and guns will not help us change our government.
But peace of mind that they provide is quite priceless. Perhaps the American public needs to get a clue instead of a gun.
(I'm proud to be an American, its just I want to be a shining beacon of hope again!)

I'm not sure how much use a "Guild webpage" would get that could not be easily gotten elsewhere. But hey, if you must have, you must.
Actually he's big on voice-overs for american cartoons.
He's quite good as "The Joker" and "Grundy" on episodes of the Justice League.
I'm paying about 800 USD a year. Not the primary driver, but I do tend to borrow the car an awful lot.

If I mash cyanide into your mash potatoes, but regret to inform you that its in there, did I force you to eat it?
Interesting question.
This might come as a shock to you, but some of us here respect the rights of our citizens to be as prude as they want to be.
I wonder which is worse: Censoring Nudity, or forcing everyone to watch it.
Laser beams, probably.

-Games that won't work with your Video card.
-Direct X
What do you have, an ATI?

I think they are working on a Wind Waker 2, actually.
You sound like you know something about 'When' and 'What' the FBI should be involved in. Perhaps you'd like to write to them, or even, work for them?
only infect people running Linux as root all the time
You mean like 90% of the people that would be using it if Windows wasnt so big?
What did you do, go to Kazaa, and search for exe's named Patch or something?
