Their new system is a portable. That should have hit the point home that the new system would not be on par with PS4 horsepower.
Also the "Switch" is more a successor to the portable DS/3DS, where they are still healthy. Nintendo may not say that as the 3DS and Pokemon are whats selling from them this holiday, but make no mistake. Nintendo is done with (traditional) home consoles. The Wii U was its worst selling console and they know they cant directly compete. The main console market (AAA, FPS, etc.) is not even their main target audience. It would be pointless and a waste of their resources to even try.
He just should be upfront that he lost his cool. I would respect him more for that. Hell, if I had to put up with the ridiculous amount of threats, harassment and pedophile accusations from a specific group of assholes, I'd snap too.
It will work because it's meant to pique your interest for the full fledged game on the their hardware. Nintendo are looking to increase their exposure and lure people to their system. It worked for Pokemon GO as pre-orders for Pokemon Sun/Moon were the highest Nintendo has seen for any title in their history.
You CAN'T fully Opt-out! The options are basic, Full or Enchanced. There is no disable option. There is a registry key but it is ignored unless you are using the Enterprise version.
You're judging it as a console though. It's actually a portable. If you are familiar with their portables then you'd see it being a natural evolution and probably have a more positive perspective. The traditional console from them is no more.
Yes, it's stupid to replace the 3.5 jack with something more cumbersome to use. I use mine everyday at work to listen and charge at the same time and to also listen to music in my car as the bluetooth is bad for music. I also use both jacks to listen to music in bed at night and charge. So for me and my life examples, yes. I'd be less hostile if the replacement used common standards or didn't involve dongles, etc.
As someone who started his career going to one of these places, I really take offense to your comment. These schools definitely bilked people, taking ANY applicants even though they said that they would test your aptitude first. It got way worse when they were able to get governement funding instead of just plain tuition.
I took an MSCE class that barely anyone completed the ceritificate testing for. I was completely green and hadn't even worked in basic tech support. I busted my ass studying and getting hands-on, thinking it was my own lack of knowledge and scored higher than others even though I had no formal background in IT at all.. There was an older guy in the class who didn't know the difference between Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer for christ's sake. My dad paid for the schooling and I felt obligated to make it work. Recently married, I also was on the verge of becoming a dad, so i felt even more pressure.
So yes, while the basic idea of your comment is definitely true, you clearly don't realize the extent that these schools went to to take just about anybody. It's easy to assume self-entitled whelps are complaining because actual work is involved but there definitely was foul play as well.
I got lucky in that my first job was for a fledgeling mortgage company with no servers (which I was really not for at that time), doing tech support and I was able to grow with them as they expanded with more branch offices, etc. The old me finishing school was in no way ready to be responsible for server/network equipment at that part of my life. But the school sure as hell set me up for that idea. And yes through hard work to learn the proper way to do things instead of hacks and through tons of googling, I've found success and have advanced.
As a managed service provider, we use Teamviewer constantly to support customers. It's a legitimate company offering quick remote services that's easy (for the end user) to install for quick temporary help. We also use Kaseya which offers a full feature client but the licensing is very expensive so we use that for clients who are willing to pay more for a support contract with 24x7 logging, patch management, etc..
Casual gaming is about the complexity of the games you enjoy.
It's the engine, the controls, etc. all of that. That is also the dividing line of comparing smart phones/tablets to consoles. Yes you can play casual or complex games on both but the hardware usually lends to: Mobile/tablet = simpler games, Console/PC = complex. My mom may play the hell out of Candy Crush but is still considered a casual due to the complexity of the game she enjoys. I had her try my PS4 once and the number of buttons on the controller drove her away.
Bowser's Inside Story,
Knights in the Nightmare,
Dragon Quest IX (or the remakes),
DQH: Rocket Slime,
World ends with You,
so many titles.... The DS maybe my favorite system of all time.
I wonder how many of those Janet Jackson complaints were real and not just blown up by groups like the "Parents Television Council", who have way less members than the complaints reflect.
No. The police should know the law. Unless I missed something, it's their fucking job! The point missed in the article is the amount of fabricated evidence used to make the pieces fall in place without admitting they used the technology. They totally omitted it yet were able get convictions so there must be something fishy going on.
Overall, they should be fired for this. They are servants of justice and are also obligated to obey the just like everyone else.
The battery life isn't that bad. I can get at least 3-4 hours of life out if at a time. It can plug in to charge while using if need be. I totally agree with your opinion of the Wii, but you really should give the Wii-U a shot. The second screen is no gimmick. If you have a family, off-TV play is incredibly useful.
The reality is that EA got in a huff because Nintendo said no to Origins and how they wanted to handle the multiplayer scenario, basically forcing Origin into the equation. That's when EA drew a line in the sand and FUD campaign started.

You must have never played their DS/3DS systems. Those had tons of 3rd party support and this system is also the replacement for that as well.

PS4 sales show you are completely off the mark, but lets not stop the PC gaming circle jerk.

Why would yooo want to Airdrop for charging?! thats STUOOOOOPID! Go back to Android, pleeb!
I've also switched about 2 months ago or so after trying Opera for a while and have been happy.

Yeah until you deal with the NBA, NFL, NHL and the MLB. Good luck.
If Wikileaks dropped him, I wouldn't complain.

Hmm, I never got that request with 7. I definitely did with Vista but not with Windows 7 upgrades.

The cops should have known better. Knowing the law is literally their job!
