An image is always 2D. Something drawn with 3D aspects isn't 3D. But yeah, it's just a semantics joke.

Well, yeah... because it's a 2D image!

So, I don't know that I agree with not getting a 2DS for youngsters just because you can turn the 3D off. I KNOW that my kids will snap a 3DS in half, but the 2DS has a fighting chance.

Would love to hear what experiences you have with it!

Wow how'd you get one already?

I wonder how the camera performs. That is one of the things that really matters to the person I would buy this for. Any Motorola phones out there with similar camera specs that might give a good idea of how the camera will perform?

Yeah, makes sense. Slow downloads definitely make the time factor very different. Good luck with your Black Friday adventure!

We'll have to see on Battlefield 4 :D But I rarely see something offered in retail that doesn't appear online shortly after retail tries its hand at it. But be ready for a digital copy.

But you'll be able to find those same deals, or similar ones, online. Or almost any time of year during event sales.

I've never been too big on Black Friday. It is a time drain, the really good deals are gone instantly, and driving around ends up adding to the cost of things quite a bit (gas is a bit expensive, you know?).

Not all the motion controls were bad. The frustrating things boiled down to mostly two major pain points: Swinging incorrectly registered quite a bit and, ultimately, DIDN'T rely on the 1:1 motion that the Wii Motion + was capable of delivering, and aiming and menus all DID rely on the Motion + when they should have…

Well, it's good to know some people enjoy the frustrating bits of games! :D

That... is exactly the point I was making.

It's just one of those things: Everyone is going to abuse it at first until people get used to it and it's not a big deal anymore.

Well, I just don't even know where to look right now...

"Wait... Did I really just throw that ball?"

Because the original XBox was a landmark in design.

It's what you get when you try and cram relatively high-performing hardware into a console form factor while trying to cut corners here and there. Happened with the PS3 and the 360, and it's going to happen with the PS4 and the XBone.

OK, OK, Skyward Sword. It has people who defend it, and will TO THE BITTER END. There are some great things about that game. Some of the boss-fights were interesting. I had fun flying the bird around a few times. The lumpy pumpkin was memorable. The development of Groose as a character nearly brought me to tears with…

Funny, my family is from Minnesota, and not even they had cheese with apple pie. Nor did any of the apple pie I ordered in diners in Minnesota include cheese that I recall. So apparently the practice is pretty confined to our proud cheese state, as it didn't even jump to neighboring states.
