@Shinta: Pfft. I hate that argument. It's, as always, the parents fault for giving them the McDonald's in the first place, and it's their fault for letting them watch so much television that they get brain washed by various advertisements.

@Veit: This is more like suing the man who got mugged because he was carrying a laptop with millions of credit card numbers on it, and the password to it was "password".
@PatMan33: I doubt shareholders are really worried. All companies go through small dips in profit as research costs for new products often coincide with declining sales. And all the shareholders know once Nintendo powered 3DS games kick off, they will start printing money again. The only negative thing in this whole…
I was referring to the community as an average of personalities that are found within. I did not mention that the community had one personality, just that some personalities are more favorable to a social gathering, and tends to move the average in a positive direction. An unfriendly community has a higher ratio of…
@snake6778: You apparently do not realize that there are completely different average types of personalities for the group of people (for the sake of ease, let's call them, oh, communities) that vary between the MMORPGs. A tighter knit community that relies on others like early FFXI, EQ, or DaoC had a much friendlier…
Early adopters picked one up either because it's a new Nintendo product, 3D, or for some reason one of the lackluster launch titles. Come June, good luck finding one once Nintendo's first party games start coming out in force. 3D Ocarina of Time.... mmmm.....
@Aurailious: As a PC gamer myself, I feel the best way to do a console generation is to just get a good PC and whatever Nintendo is putting out. They have, I feel, the best 1st party games, and most 3rd party stuff gets ported to PC anyway.
@oldman: The first set of 3d cinema failed because it was butt ugly. The newest stuff coming out is better, but suffers from a horribly reduced contrast. 3DS 3D works well enough. It's not exactly movie quality, but it's a nice added effect, and as a bonus doesn't suffer the contrast problems movies and 3D TV's…
@shouryuuken: Also, Nintendo can easily make a profit from first party titles alone, as seen from the Gamecube. If it is indeed stronger than the ps3 and xbox, they will also be able to get enhanced ports of current gen games, possible knocking a lot of wind out of Sony and Microsoft. If Nintendo does it right, they…
@Veit: No, actually, that probably started with the NES, except replace playstation 2 and gamecube with arcade. It had the mario game, the zelda game, and a couple of decent RPG's and fighters. Hell, it even had an exercise game!
@ARCH_27 (TB-3279): Hey, you are getting a deal. This is actually half off the original price!
@Hyrus: I remember when all you needed was just 1 button, and those games were still fun!
@Mr C: Super Mario Galaxy 2 would like a word with you. That game took away everything about 2D and 3D platformers that I hold sacred and absolutely blew my mind!
@Cabs21: You were just hoping for a high polygon, glowing, naked fairy following Link around, huh?
@saeval: That's slightly inaccurate. I wouldn't put more than $500 in a gaming PC at this point. The next generation of consoles will be coming out in the next year or two, making PC gaming play a fun game of catch-up like it does every 6 years (PC gaming is doooooomed!). Instead, find a good deal online for a $300…
@Mack_Attack: So, we have casual game pillar, handheld pillar, and now XTREME NINTENDO pillar, featuring an M-rated Mario game at system launch! Hopefully the power in this sucker will be more in par with Nintendo's older consoles, rather than the quite weak in comparison Wii.
@Crazy Haze: Wierdo: Everquest is most likely a Meridian 59 clone, not a UO clone. Granted, both of those games are MUD clones.
@Cerby: That's pretty much how it works. You usually get a talent somewhere that increases in power based on how many points you put in the tree, so maxing one tree is always greater than spreading the trees out. In addition, most of the spells in the earlier part of the trees are just copy/pasted throughout all the…
@kickingtotalass: Nintendo lost the "hardcore" when the Genesis came out.
@dtptampa: Friends of Mineral Town is considered by many fans to be the best of the series, so getting into the new ones probably feels a little stale. I would recommend Rune Factory 3, though. It's pretty fun!
