That's exactly my experience. I have a Wii and a 360. The only games for the Wii that I have are Wii Play, Twilight Princess, and Super Paper Mario. There seems to be a dearth of good Wii games, as most seem to just be a bunch of mini-games, movie adaptations, TV adaptations, or silly little games. The only game that has actually interested me these past few months has been Metroid. Sure, people will say that good games will come out in time, but jeez, it's already been 10 months. They should have some good games by now. Mario Galaxies and SSBB look interesting, but those are the only things that really interest me in the next 3 months.
My favorite thing about the 360 is that it can download demos and XBLA games. Geometry Wars, Space Giraffe and Small Arms are all some excellent XBLA games. The demos are great too. Being able to try out console games before you buy them is great. Sure, I could just rent them, but that still requires me to spend money per game. With Xbox Live, it's something like $5 a month for as many games I want to try out. I've had the Dead Rising demo since it came out and I see no reason to even buy the game because the demo does the job quite well.
I'm sure I sound like a shill or something, but the Xbox 360 has probably been the best money I've spent gaming-wise. The Wii definitely has great potential, but the lack of amazing games out really is holding it back. If anyone knows some good games that I don't know of for it, please tell.
It seems right to me. Move your fingers together to "lock-in" on a location, and spread them apart to zoom-out. Moving closer to look closer, moving apart to get a larger view of the picture. Seems about right to me.
If I recall correctly, the price of the iPhone dropped by $200. This store credit is for $100, so Apple still made $100 off the early adopters and the early adopters are forced to spend the money at Apple stores, thus spreading the brand even more and selling more devices. Seems like a win-win for Apple.
Because the Church of Scientology isn't Sony. Sure, intertubers can get riled up by the Church of Scientology, but man...the Church of Scientology is no Sony.
There was a comment posted Slashdot once that contained some "sacred text" of Scientologists. Copyrighted sacred text. Scientologists forced Slashdot to delete the comment, and so far that is the only comment ever to have been deleted from Slashdot. That's also the reason why "Comments are owned by the Poster." is part of the text at the bottom of the screen.
I can only imagine that that statement was referring to that episode. I'd hope so because I laughed out loud when I read that.
Some Toys 'R' Us stores accidentally started to sell the game last week. Someone must've bought a copy there and uploaded it. So it's not so much "another great release for BT." as much as "a screw up on Toys 'R' Us' part." Although I'm sure Irrational wouldn't mind if you went out and bought the game. They might like that even. It'd provide them with a reason to make a sequel.
My favorite Maxis game? Streets of Sim City. All the fun of building a city without the whole "appeasing the citizens", "ensuring economic prosperity", or "keeping people alive" distractions.
Plus it had cars with rocket launchers. How cool was that?
Realistic? No. Educational? Maybe for learning how to blow things up. Allowing a 10 year old me to play a game with explosions all while being able to say that it was SimCity? Oh yeah.
It's like this. Imagine that someone who used Emacs got multiple copies of vi's source code and proceeded to a) piss on it, b) burn it, c) puncture holes in it, and d) stomped on it a lot.
I can imagine vi-users would be up in arms and the Internet would be in shambles because all the sysadmins would be too busy protesting.

Bethesda has been carrying it for quite a while now.
Like Marathon or Myth?
Whoever it is, it sure looks like they are about to lose.
What's your solution?

But how many of them have blags?

But if you die and go to Hell, you get 42 Windows98 Machines. With AOL. And Dial-up.

This poster is a liar. Everyone knows that Macs can't right click!
Because Matt Groening is going to make you his bitch.
It's a heads-up really.
"One time, at explosive camp, I stuck a piece of dynamite up my wahoo."
Do people even read those? For all we know, it could quite clearly state that.
Ensemble Studios and Big Huge. For some reason they are always forgotten when a discussion of MS's games comes up.
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof."
I think any theory on the universe's nature would require extraordinary proof. My theory? Turtles, man. Turtles all the way down.
Yea, I realized that. Oh well, everyone should get a full cavity search now and then...
You take the one on the left. I'll take the one on the right. Be sure to "hit" yours hard.

What does that have to do with my post?
