SMB3 was kinda when it started, but at least I remember times where I had to redo a stage. Super Mario World really made getting lives easy. I remember spamming "Top Secret Area"... Oh, the memories...

I'm missing your point. The established base that had the 360 had was a big factor to others buying it (your friends playing a multiplayer game on 360, so you follow suit), so that was great for MS. The new casual players the Wii brought in was insane - senior citizens were playing video games!

I share that sentiment, as I don't want to end up like a Steam Sale hoarder.

Playable on an unmodded homebrewed Wii, to be exact...

Nintendo did the same thing with the Wii as far as bundling a family multiplayer game and I can see how some people aren't impressed with that.

How can you not care about Nintendo Land?! Are you against good clean multiplayer fun? Do you hate puppies and candy, too?

Good news, everyone! I've decided to adopt you into my family, Xbox One user!

I hope you're married and not planning to have children is the reason for the vasectomy, and not so you can have copious condom-free baby-free romp around the block with many questionable women - lest you wish for the risk of many a disease in your private area.

I think part of education leading to less children is because they end up with the same mindset that TheDude has - the decreasing importance of having children in comparison to another goal (i.e. career). And where did we get the idea that us having less children is solving a problem? You having dozens of children is…

I get what TheDude's is saying, he just has a weird mindset about it. Raising kids well is VERY important. But using the amount of people as to the the reason new births aren't as important is a humanist mindset I don't identify with.

I try to be frugal myself, but my goal isn't always about price drops (even though my last two posts were about price drops). I want all three major companies (Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo) to succeed. Their competition squeezes out the creative juices in their think tanks to produce the innovation and technology…

While one thing that keeps me from getting into PC gaming is the high entry point - I have no need for a PC as I own a decent laptop (but too old to play anything current) and an iPad - console exclusives is a huge factor for me. I wish I could shell out for both PC and gaming, but consoles have less hassles when it…

I don't think "real gamers" (pardon the expression) actually skips a gaming generation. They may hold off for a long while, but they eventually crack once the price drops come for hardware. It's hard to stay away, and regardless of the painful decisions gaming companies make, the love for gaming will prove to be…

I've thought of trying to stay a generation behind since I bought a PSOne when the PS2 launched. On paper, it's a great system - dirt cheap games for the same experience everyone else has had (only many years ago). MAJOR downside is the inability to discuss it on sites like this. Eventually, you're going to read an…

I wouldn't call them swears, as much as "improper."

I used to do the same thing, but then all these scares about "using our personal information" stuff came about, and suddenly I became Control Alton Deletus the 7th, born January 1st, 1985.

It won't let me...IT WON'T LET ME!!!

Cuz ya gotta show some skinz!

Things I've never said in my life: "Numbering paragraphs is pretentious."

But it ain't liquid black! Xbox One, whoo!
