Vanity of Vanities Poll .... creating your own Wikipedia page ... yes or no? -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Aug 1, 12:27 2
- Until I get valid independent reviews, mine would likely be removed for astroturfing -- nm - Qale as Folk Aug 1, 12:29
- (I fully expect this to get LIR) -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Aug 1, 12:27
These ads would not work today -- (link) - con_carne Aug 1, 12:22 1
never judge a song by the bass line -- (link) - znufrii Aug 1, 12:20 [youtube]
I remember in years past my Thursdays were my longest day of the week. They still are, but they've become shorter - CQ Aug 1, 12:14
Armpits 4 August -- (link) - znufrii Aug 1, 12:11 2
- I really liked Armpits 3, but nothing beats the original Armpits: The Movie -- nm - con_carne Aug 1, 12:14 1
  - well, there *is* talk of an Armpitsnado movie in development for ScyFy - i'm not dead yet ! Aug 1, 12:24
[deleted] 1
- Meh, it's got less pwerful specs than the Nexus 4. p.s. I *heart* my Nexus 4. -- nm - Shaun Aug 1, 12:27
Damn that Nokia Lumina 1020 is a sexy beast -- nm - oblique Aug 1, 11:57 4
- Is that the one with the really nice camera? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 1, 12:16 3
  - Yeah. 41 megapixels - oblique Aug 1, 12:18 2
    - How many pics can the memory hold? - Spawn Aug 1, 12:22 1
      - well, since you don't have any apps to take up space, lots :) -- nm - oblique Aug 1, 12:25
[deleted] 30
- ouch....nm - x Aug 1, 12:24
- I wonder if the earthquake and tsunami had any effect on them? -- nm - Qale as Folk Aug 1, 12:22 1
  - Doubtful. They don't have the new element of fun with this one, plus soccer moms and grandparents aren't buying them. -- nm - Shaun Aug 1, 12:28
- Is it motion controlled like the Wii? - Cuzzin Todd Aug 1, 12:18
- Our used media store always has some. That's unprecedented for a new system. - David Aug 1, 11:58 25
  - If it stays like this thru Xmas, that'll really be sink/swim -- nm - budice Aug 1, 12:00 24
    - The only question given the PS4 and the Xbox coming is how heavy are the anchors around this thing's feeet. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 12:03
    - [deleted] 22
      - It'll be fine. A price drop plus actual games this fall/winter will be a jump start. - Inigo Aug 1, 12:09 5
        
        I don't see how. People still aren't sure if it's a new system or a Wii add-on. -- nm - Ender Aug 1, 12:15 4
        
        The same reason the 3DS went from a floundering system to flourishing. - Inigo Aug 1, 12:21 2
        
        That they finally broke the in case of emergency re-release Earthbound glass IS troubling. -- nm - Qale as Folk Aug 1, 12:25 1
        
        Yeah, that was shocking. No doubt they're in panic mode for the console right now. - Inigo Aug 1, 12:27
        
        This. I really think they failed with the name. Even Wii 2 or Wii Too would've been better. -- nm - Tim Aug 1, 12:20
      - They need to knock off $100 from the price asap. I called this faliure. -- nm - Shaun Aug 1, 12:03 15
        
        Im sure they will drop the price when ps 4 and xbox one come out. -- nm - eag Aug 1, 12:09
        
        I don't much about it, but from what I've heard they really don't even have big anchor games? That true? -- nm - MDH Aug 1, 12:05 13
        
        Other than New Super Mario Bros, no big name first party game has come out. -- nm - Inigo Aug 1, 12:13 11
        
        And third parties are avoiding it like the plague. EA doesn't have a single Wii U game in development. -- nm - Ender Aug 1, 12:18 6
        
        No different than the Wii, Gamecube or N64. None of those "died". -- nm - Inigo Aug 1, 12:22 3
        
        Those systems had a lot more 3rd party support. -- nm - Ender Aug 1, 12:34
        
        you're right, it won't die. but a company never wants a reversal of market share like this....nm - x Aug 1, 12:27 1
        
        Oh, it's bad news, and will probably cost Iwata his job. Which sucks because I love how honest he is. - Inigo Aug 1, 12:31
        
        I thought Madden was suppose to come out for it - eag Aug 1, 12:21
        
        I'd consider that a bonus. (the Worst Company in America two years running nt) -- nm - Qale as Folk Aug 1, 12:20
        
        Just released Pikmin 3 though. -- nm - Ender Aug 1, 12:18
        
        So, no Mario Kart, Zelda, etc? -- nm - MDH Aug 1, 12:14 2
        
        They are coming at a latter date. -- nm - eag Aug 1, 12:15 1
        
        Well that's a huge fail. -- nm - MDH Aug 1, 12:17
        
        Mostly its there first party games - eag Aug 1, 12:12
Like I said the other day, USOC, it's on you now... "Russian Sports Minister: Sochi Athletes Will Be Subject To Anti-Gay Laws" -- (link) - MDH Aug 1, 11:50 15
- this is crazy. -- nm - Andie Aug 1, 12:00
- then they may as well just cancel the marquee event$ in Figure $kating. This is stupid. -- nm - Diva Aug 1, 11:54 13
  - The laws only ban "propaganda" -- pro-gay speech, demonstrating, etc. Not to say these are reasonable laws, but there's no reason to think the skaters - mara Aug 1, 12:20 1
    - I was being facetious. I did read the article and I've been keeping up with the issue from other news sites as well. -- nm - Diva Aug 1, 12:27
  - The Russians are calling the West's bluff. Putin has much personally invested in Sochi's success. He doesn't think the West will boycott. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 1, 11:55 2
    - At this point, Putin is literally Dr Evil of the Earth -- nm - Jovian Aug 1, 12:18 1
      - Huh? Putin is effective. -- nm - Roger More Aug 1, 12:26
  - could you imagine if the Lady Miss Weir was to appear? -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 1, 11:54 7
    - she'll never make the US team, but it would be interesting if she was asked to skate in a ceremonial exhibition-like capacity as she has adopted - Diva Aug 1, 11:59 3
      - If you haven't seen it, the video below will make you fall even more in love with him. -- nm - MDH Aug 1, 12:01 2
        
        that's adorable. -- nm - Diva Aug 1, 12:05 1
        
        "Turqwaz, my eyes." -- nm - MDH Aug 1, 12:06
    - Please please tell me you have seen this... -- (link) - MDH Aug 1, 11:59 2
      - what in the hell did I just watch? -- nm - CQ Aug 1, 12:16
      - ooh - shimmy... -- nm - Diva Aug 1, 12:01
Spamlet, do I remember right that the Chevy Cruze ( I think) is getting a diesel version this year? -- nm - Truman Aug 1, 11:48 2
- I put them in the Ford camp. - spamlet Aug 1, 11:53 1
  - Hmm, I thought I had heard that on that PBS auto review show. Like that they were reviewing one - Truman Aug 1, 11:55
