Honest truth I love the evil eye thing. It's like owning Sauron: The Phone.

I think the branding could work if you gave it a really terrifying, Darth Vadery voice, and had it trying to terrify and threaten people, and then they pick it up and go oh cute, it has a keyboard! Look, it has Google maps! And the phone is just all ARRGH STOP POKING ME

Looking at this nonsense makes me think that Verizon really does deserve credit for getting the hell out of Google / Moto's way.

I hate to say it because Verizon are generally a bunch of sleazy jerks who run a multibillion dollar telecommunications company with all the panache of a third-rate carnival huckster. But somehow someone convinced them to play it straight for once.

an SE rep told me that the translation was new!

Oh good, I was just thinking it's been five or six minutes since Square took something that needed no fixing whatsoever and then slathered it with weeaboo nonsense.

@kev:

You're just angry cause all that hard work and education will never make up for not getting a date for the senior prom.

I think it's time to let go, don't you?

26 - You know I thought pretty much exactly the same thing. The first RE actually had a lot going for it in terms of suspense and storytelling, the second was just a dull march through a sequence of events that felt loosely if at all connected.

I think you should have referred to him as the "Spielberg of Spielbergs."

That's all I've got, really.

Now.

*!!FANBOYGASM!!*

Sorry, just couldn't help myself.

I mean, you know? Biological humor aside, it's just a horrid-sounding, ungrammatical little afterbirth of a word.

Every time I read 'Wii' it's like someone jabbed a stick in my eye. Or maybe just raked their fingernails across the chalkboard of my soul.

This is pretty simple, really.

Once your VP has to go around selling people on your name...

It means you picked a stupid name.

You know, for all that people are trying to say how really Playstation was such a stupid name, when the Playstation came out? The VP of Sony didnt' have to go around everywhere trying to explain the name.

Hey Nintendo, you're selling conosoles here, not names. Nobody's paying you money for a name. Pick a name that helps you sell consoles, not a name where before you can sell anybody a console, first you have to sell them on the name.

You guys needed a Phantom/Infinium joke, a J. Allard joke, a Steve Jobs joke, and a Final Fantasy joke.

Aside from that, that was pretty great.
