The video for Wannabe was all one shot. I remember seeing the "making of" and Posh Spice kept messing up this cartwheel she does on a dinner table. Are you telling me you don't want to see that?
"Hi, I'm looking for someone named Kevin. We had a good Tetris match about 30 minutes ago. So if your online name is KEVIN and you happen to read this board and remember playing against me, please send me your friend code because I'd like to play against you again. Thanks."
I thought it was confirmed already that Wii's online service will use friend codes, much like the DS. If that's the case, let's hope there's a way to find new people to play with -- I don't like having a great Tetris match with someone and not being able to add them to my friend list.
What about people who have a slim PS2 or a network adapter? If both machines are online, couldn't you just copy the 8MB of saved games over the internet from one machine to another? Release a transfer disc for the PS2 and everyone saves money.
Worms Armageddon introduced the ability to switch to higher resolutions. I always think how awesome that is -- high-res 2D! I want a next-gen game to coin 2DHD, so pussy developers have a new genre umbrella to work under. That way maybe, just maybe, we'll get some new 2D games instead of all these mutated offspring of Mario 64. Then people will catch on that 2D isn't all that bad, that we just forgot about it like animatronics, both lost in the 1990's wet-dream of "3D". 3D is the real enemy here! Nvidia and ATI will introduce Vector Processing into their video cards, and we'll be able to play high-res, fullscreen Flash games on low-end systems. And then Team 17 will pick its head up from the mound of 3D cocaine they've been snorting and say, "What have we been doing with our lives? Let's get to work on the best Worms game ever! High resolution graphics, tons of effects; the first of many! Thank you Slashdot post!"
...Awww, who am I kidding? 2D games have gone the way of voxels. Rest in peace, little buddies, I love ya.
Why has there yet to be another 2D Castlevania released on a console? The newer 3D Castlevania games are pretty neat, but aren't as good as the GBA/DS versions, which are amazing, but have yet to captivate me like Symphony of the Night. Do you see the hierarchy there? In the world of Castlevania, you don't need three dimensions to have depth.
Costing US$599 on launch, and touted as a cheap computer, in reality the system was commonly identified as a video game console. As such, its price was considered to be too expensive in comparison to its contemporaries.
I agree -- why isn't Nintendo getting a load of press for what they say here?
Virtual Console: Wii will have downloadable access to 20 years of fan-favorite titles originally released for Nintendo 64, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and even the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The Virtual Console also will feature a "best of" selection from Sega Genesis titles and games from the TurboGrafx console (a system jointly developed by NEC and Hudson). It also will be home to new games conceived by indie developers whose creativity is larger than their budgets.
I would like to learn more about this. Even if it means buying a $2000 Dev Kit -- that doesn't seem that harsh for a serious indie developer.

Pssh, I doubt that now.

I'm not crazy -- this was already confirmed during E3: E306: Wii WiFi To Use Those Stupid @$#!ing Friend Codes
"Hi, I'm looking for someone named Kevin. We had a good Tetris match about 30 minutes ago. So if your online name is KEVIN and you happen to read this board and remember playing against me, please send me your friend code because I'd like to play against you again. Thanks."
Why not have the option right in the game?

Was that a haiku?
He had sex with a 286-year old?! What was she, a wookie?
Yes, you control a biscotti with the Wiimote.
It sounds like a fun game! I don't know what you're alluding to...
Sounds good -- how much does it cost?
Sincerely,
The New Guy

I bought the Lost Vikings MMOG, but unfortunately I can rarely play because each server only accepts 3 people at a time. :(
I just found this site while researching HD-compatible games for my HTPC: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/
They have a list of PC games with their widescreen status, and how to get it working if it's not officially supported.
I know! Bring on brighter white, already!
"Nipple Dicks" is probably the worst mental image I've ever conjured.
It's probably a good thing. Really, I don't need to start up that game again.
Well I'm still holding out for my Osborne Executive.

Hmmmm... I don't see this happening ever again.
Then we can only hope for a playable version of Super Smash Boner -- BROTHERS, Super Smash Brothers, excuse me. I'm not excited at all.
Thankfully, Google will be calling ads "pornotisments" soon. Try blocking that.
