My biggest dream is to make something that's not very good yet tricks millions of stupid people to buy it, like this, the snuggie, and the shamwow.

@tmac


I hate to say it but anyone who bought a shamwow was asking for there money to be taken away.

I mean its in the name sham-wow as in wow this product is a sham. Now that some clever marketing.

I didn't buy a wii, shamwow or snuggie precisely because I knew all 3 were ripoffs beforehand.

No way, snuggies are not a rip off. I've got more joy, entertainment, and warmth out of mine then anything else that $15 would have bought me.

seriously though,

Magic lost a tough one last night. They'll have to win it in 7 I guess!

Couldn't give a shit about you're bashing of the Wii... akin to how you couldn't give a shit about responsibilities living with your parents and all.

WAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! WII SUX!!!! WAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

THEY FORGOT THE HARDCORE!!! WAAAAAHHHH!!!

Honestly, quite crying on here all of the time airjordan and just stop commenting on Wii threads. I've been gaming for over 25 years, started out with tapes in the Commodore 64 and the Atari, and I could care less about what you bring to the table.

If you care that much about the other systems then go cuddle with the other fanboys in their threads. You'll never change anyone's minds here.

I didn't even buy a system last gen because all its really been for awhile now is same sh*t, different resolution. But I've been enjoying this fresh take on controls and soon enough, you will be too. Everyone is gonna waggle sooner or later. E3 proved that.

Well it's good to see all it took to bring you back to gaming was waggle, at the cost of depth and substance.

Congrats, you're part of the problem.

Tmac. There are a variety of game types. I found just enough depth and substance in several Wii titles as I would find in any other. You have to go in knowing what you're getting. You can't compare the depth of Fallout 3 to Punch Out. That's just unfair.
Street Fighter IV looks shallow in comparison to the depth of Fallout or any huge RPG. Sometimes I just want to punch the crap out of racial stereotypes. Sometimes I want to explore the wastelands. Sometimes I want to experience a totally fucked up game like No More Heroes, or sit and crack out on Peggle for hours. If you go in with such a high criteria for every game, you're limiting yourself to a lot of really great games. It seems like you have a homogenous view on what games SHOULD be as opposed to what the game is. There's nothing wrong with that, but to flat out say that Game A doesn't have X amount of Z is just plain stupid.

Ha ha Tmac.. The more popular and the more influence the wii has on gaming the crazier you get. You keep flipping out tapping away at the keyboard trying to convince us "dirty masses" or "lemmings" that we've been tricked because we like something you don't... but nobody will listen, whats up with that?. That must be very frustrating for you.

With the way things are going (Microsoft and Sony trying to play catch up to Nintendo) you're going to have a nervous breakdown one of these days. Make sure you do it in a Wii thread. I don't want to miss out.
