I have a pretty good idea of what a "rails shooter" is. Virtua Cop, House of the Dead, Area 51, etc. are all "on rails" shooters. Duck hunt isn't, and Hogan's alley is a very early one, but let's be realistic here: They are all essentially the same, screen is presented, you shoot at targets. RE:UC is different, as it appears that you have spatial control over your character.
As for me not being in the Wii target market, you can be sure that I am. I might not be the perfect consumer, as I carefully choose what game I buy, but I most definitely fit into a gaming demographic, especially Nintendo's.
There's also a complete other segment that the game developers missed, and that's the rail shooter. Rayman had a small sample of it, and that was arguably the best part of the game. Sega could port house of the dead to the Wii, but probably won't. I've even gone so far as to mail the devs hoping that someone would port a rail shooter, but I've gotten friendly but ambiguous replies.
And sure RE:UC is a rails game, but even still, it is nowhere near the old house of the dead or area 51 genre. Just give us a simple point-and shoot that you can have 2 players on the screen, and a bit of a challenge. Something that you can put in, get blasted, and shoot away.
And to put that further into perspective, from a quick Google, the current record holder was the Japanese The Shinkai 6500 With a maximum recorded depth of 6,527m.
It was just their time 5 years ago. Every computer that I've ever ordered, I've ordered without one. When they came with them due to a package deal, I've ripped them out. There are simply much better options available for removable, rewritable media.
Floppy disks were horrible for archiving, their capacity was outstripped by technology ages ago, and they were hardly portable across two different PC's. Small issues with head alignments on the two separate floppy drives caused unreadable disks, and a horrible symphony of noise from the drive. Good riddance to bad garbage!
Hmm, there seem to be a large absence of video recorders in Britain. If someone wants to make a killing, they should convert VCR's and Tivo's to PAL format. The market is ripe!
They didn't expect Americans to be fit enough to smash a television, and even should the unthinkable happen, the player would surely die of the shock of destroying his God.
They are building their own network. The more people that they put on their network, the less problems they will have from other networks. And I told them this before the net neutrality debate anyway.
Besides, if they got everyone using all google services, do you think that people would stand to be throttled from google's free services by their own internet providers because their providers are offering competing services for a price? Not likely, especially if Google has a comparable service, or is willing to sell cheap bandwith to local resellers. Google could simply overwhelm the entire marketplace if they have to, they just have to get everyone using more than just google.com.
Google should champion the.web TLD, and create google.web Rebuild the net the way they think that it should be. Tie in all services to their brand new.web. Create a gmail address, get a site, a gbuy account, adsense tied to the site, a marker on google maps, the works! Think of the datamining that they could do then!
Of course, the last time I told them that, they never answered me. Maybe I shouldn't have sworn so much in the email. Telling them to 'fuckin' bury Microsoft' probably didn't add to my ideas credibility.
I say that we no longer donate to the EFF for lawsuits, we donate to the EFF for stock purchases. Make the EFF a major shareholder, and let them govern accordingly. Law and Lawyers only go so far, but stock goes farther, faster.
If the war is for who can make up the worst name. What stupid names, and not just AMD or Intel, Microsoft, Ubuntu, etc. Some execs with 8 year old daughters are naming these things. Why can't we get good names, like Project:Doom, or Omega Solution?

Looks like everyone could use some proof reading. Or is this a quantum leap in tenses?

Aww, I have to walk all the way to the mailbox?

Where I tell people that if they give me money, I won't sue them. What a concept!
Good going, ass. Why not give them a few more pointers?

It's still got a few K's to go.
So my ping time won't absolutely suck?

I switched mine to -2 and now my computer opens the menus before I can even click on them. It's like it just knows what I'm thinking about opening.

Ooh, I'm going to hear it for that one.
But faster!

I understood the joke. I'm just raising the chatter of it to a dull roar.
No you haven't, you just think that you did.
