Jesus day? What does he have to do with 4th quarter sales forecasts? Last I checked we have orders for more than one temple / church related holiday this month. Oh and GET BACK TO WORK. Elves my ass, we got trucks to load.
"Sure, there's the Nunchuck to give them a joystick, and even the Wii Classic Controller, which looks startlingly like a good old SNES controller with added joysticks. But these are extra-cost items; they can't save the Wii if the ordinary Wii Remote tanks with the consumer."
Um - the nunchuck comes with the unit. It's not a extra-cost item. Someone please stick his head in a microwave - it's not done.
Point being - I think Nintendo could have - oh I dunno - THOUGHT OF THAT AS WELL and produced more controllers? It's a JOYSTICK! Not a frigging console! How much do you have to ramp up to have a decent supply? This is a production problem - bigtime.
Bah - the controllers were the coup-de-grace in terms of "no supply problems". Yes, they got more units out there than Sony - no argument there - but cripes, I've been in countless stores in TWO STATES - and nada Wiimotes. Hell it took me 3 weeks to secure a USED classic controller. Um - that's a problem when Sony has Sixxaxis controllers and other accessories in plentiful stock. Granted you can argue that the Wiimotes are required for a system that is basically a party-console, which is all fine and good - but you're telling me Nintendo didn't think of making - um - EXTRA CONTROLLERS for just that same argument?
Wow - you must think Nintendo is a bigger bunch of idiots than I do! Hats off to ya!
Cool - can I use that argument when I'm arrested by the cops in front of the ballpark next time I'm scalping tickets? Fucking communists interfereing with the freemarket. Fuck them in the ear!
No but you do have to swap blocks. If you're going to save a VC game to the external memory - don't expect to play it. If your primary ram then is full (why else would you buy extra memory in the first place?), then you have to (a) backup a different game to the external card (b) erase it from primary memory (c) copy the card-saved VC game to primary memory where now you can play it.
That attempt at writing was so bad it made my head hurt to read it. Perhaps they should go into the torture business instead. They'd be clearer if they'd just type "infringment" on 800 pages while in a hotel in the Colorado mountains.
Right - highest grossing game series for the PS2 series. That didn't appeal at all. Um - you never played it did you? That would explain the no-depth argument. How do you explain your retardation?
Actually, I've had trouble ripping non-rotted CDs from the early 90s by virtue of (inso far as I can theorize) evolving "insert-color-here book" writing standards. Strange. Although some of my cd-readers/writers blanch the DVD readers/writers seem to devour them just fine. I've got discs as recent as 1996 that still blanch on some drives.
Anyday. Don't think for a minute that since Sony got nailed that this crap is off the plate. The vendor that enabled Sony's scheme certainly had to have more than 1 client involved, or at least it'd be a safe bet. What isn't a safe bet is exposing my various CPUs that I depend on for income to the ilk that "might" still be out there. It's not a fact as much as a hunch. To me the Sony debacle seems to me to be a case of "the one that got caught".
At that point, I pretty much went with iTunes 100 percent for my purchases, and audiophilism be damned - it's decent enough for my ears (lord knows why AAC has it all over Mp3s - is it the master tapes Apple touts? - I'd love to know).
Acutally if Kim was motivated by what you said - he was a bigger fool than hero. After seeing upteen rescues in Colorado's high country, the first thing they tell you to do in the back-country is STAY WITH THE CAR. It makes for easier air tracking along roads and is easier to spot from the air than a person on foot under a canopy of trees. If he really let ego drive him to trek out on foot, then it's ego that wound up getting him killed.
Which one - the part where half the game centers around him having an unusual relationship with minors, or the deformed horse with no eyes? "ZombieHorsie - GET THE BRAINS!"
She's just stuck under a pile of recycled newspapers and is trying to make a baking soda rocket at the moment.
Seriously, I'm hoping for one of those "fleeing bride" moments has taken place and that this hasn't gone into a murder scenario. But - odds are for a fatal outcome. Who would probably be the question of the moment.
re:"finitely not a game for the faint of heart, not to mention its dark and slightly more sophisticated storyline/characters, are likely to bore the younger crowd"
Of course having a semi-adult player that caters to and is encouraged to play with children - yes - that's very dark. Neverland dark. And isn't he horse just the worst ever rendered? I mean it's creepy. Next play-through I'm naming it "ZombieHorsie".
BTW: I own a Wii, but that doesn't mean that Nitendo has been all saintly along the way. I'm still imagining the Borat level comedy unfolding as the "casual gamer" get's whacked upside the head by Zelda. It's a great game - but not a great "casual game". In fact - has anyone noted that the control scheme is now the most complex version ever done?

Nice repost of email spam - you may now fuck off, and I hope your dog dies hillbilly cocksucker. Enjoy your next Nascar event.
Does this mean Duke Nuke-em is going to come out? Holy crap - someone borrow some ice from hell.

Oh fuck this guy is a moron:

This is a developer? I call bullshit.
"Cartridges have the advantage of being sturdy and chewable, thus good for little kids, but they're slow and expensive to make,"
Slow? Since when the fuck is RAM slow? They were SMALL compared to CDroms, but they were NEVER slow.
Either he went out of his relm of experience in going over the N64 - or he's one dumbshit of a developer.

re:" and the Wii did not have supply issues"
Um - then why not walk over to Best Buy and buy one - right now? Fuck - you can't even get CONTROLLERS FOR THE FUCKING THING.
Those "blue laser diodes" that are in short supply are even making Wiimotes hard to find! Fucking amazing!
Oh no - no supply problems there. Oh sure you can't buy one - but no supply problems....FUCK!
Cool - can I use that argument when I'm arrested by the cops in front of the ballpark next time I'm scalping tickets? Fucking communists interfereing with the freemarket. Fuck them in the ear!

Fucking simple - Wii - it's for casual gamers!

Actually you're off about 23 years. It was the year they were going to initially feature Steve Jobs on the cover, and then discovered he was a prick.
Right - highest grossing game series for the PS2 series. That didn't appeal at all. Um - you never played it did you? That would explain the no-depth argument. How do you explain your retardation?
And ID and most other shooting game companies are based in Texas. What's your fucking POINT?

Oh right - so Napster never carried "approved bootlegs" either. Fuck you mr. apologist. Isn't there some Holocaust you're supposed to be denying?
So those fuckers going in front of congress about Napster was just a lie? - no wait - you're a dumbshit:

.... oh yes, go fuck yourself and I hope your dog dies you lying fuck.

re:"Nintendo's game plan is surely influenced by the fact that Sony hasn't launched PS3 other than North America"
Japan is in North America? Holy FUCK - continental drift is really moving FAST these days. No wait - you're just a fucking retard. Never mind.
