3 Things I Miss

I did not grow up in the 90's, but whatever. Here are things that have died in the 2000's, which I miss dearly:

1. Fansites. I know that there are a few still around, but alot of them have moved on. While other things are great, such as cbr's, roms, and torrents, this is one thing I will miss.

2. Great action games/Great third party support. I might be a little to bit into this genre, but I love them. When the Wii came out, I was very intrested. But as time wore on, it became apparent that the games( with the exception of a few) were horrible. I am glad that Nintendo is making money, but I miss games like SMB3 for the GBA, Sim City 3000 and 4 for the pc, and others which were awesome. I am glad that I discovered roms, so I don't get bored with the crap they are making!

3. Intresting test demos. What..... I know this seems a little bit odd, but I miss the GC displays very much. Nothing against the NSMB, but nothing beats a test drive of Chibo-Robo!

About the Wii

Wii all can agrii (agree), the Wii has made a tremendous impact on the American (and other ) cultures. But the thing I still find lacking on it, is the third-party support. It has gotten so bad that the game 'Chicken Shoot' has appeared on the Wii (it deserves  1 cent!) I am not saying the Nintendo games are bad though (speaking of which, I was walking through Wal-Mart one day, and I saw a grown man playing NSMB, odd I know) But there would be two games that I could think of that could bolster the few good games on the platform: Time Crisis and Brave Firefighters. If those were brought to the system, along with maybe a few others, I think they could boost sales. But to their advantage the are bringing Netflixs  online, and the new Sonic 4 look good( especially to all the crap on the Wiiware), and like I said before, it has a good first party lineup.My personal opinion about the Wii: the 360 is better because of the third part support, but also I would not buy one because all the good games you could play on the Wii, you could play on Dolphin. ;)

News.

Hi there. Long time no see! There is alot going on , so lets dive in. Apple releses it's ipad today amongst much fanfare. But isn't there any alternatives? Why yes, there is! Have you considered Google's Nexus One (which has the same speed as ipad, but is cheaper with the phone contract). Or what about the Pandora? While it may not be as fast as the Nexus or ipad, it has a huge gaming library, it runs Linux, and (supposedly) as a 4 Ter. drive! So that is something to look into. And it is only 329 US dollars. In other news, have you heard the conference call for Bioshock 2? I am not necessarily intrested in the game as much as the mechanics behind it. It sounds very intresting. As for the site in general, there is not much content to upload as of this current moment, so for the sime being I will be posting articles. And what am I up to? Well, outsmarting cleverbot, enjoying spring break, and learning C++ ( I might eventually release a game or two on here). Other than that, not much.
