Yeah, I think Emasher was trying to explain the same thing. I admit that's a new perspective on the subject for me. I'm suddenly a lot more positive about it.

My die-hard optimism slipped away for a sec there. But seriously, we need more devs like the Conduit guys who realises the Wii's full potential. I admit to not having seen the Conduit in action, and thus I can't judge their work, but what I'm hoping other devs to copy from them is their attitude towards the Wii. The image in my head ...

Hm, didn't think about it that way. I guess you're right.

I'm flattered, I really am. Damn right, they do!

A.k.a. things SOME people want. If you want those things so desperately, go buy a 360 or PS3.

But this isn't Microsoft, it's Nintendo, and their focus is entirely different. They don't focus much on hard drives, horsepower, graphics etc. but instead rely on the gameplay. It's in keeping with their strategy of minimizing the price to cater to the casual audience.

Nope, 'cause the lag changes the gameplay. Button smashers might actually get an advantage over people who use precise attacks, as they will be severely hindered, while button smashers will just keep smashing. It also brings in a new element to master, and I for one am not very good at adapting to the lag.

I can just picture the situation ... :p

That was my intention. I was aiming for the "pity cuteness".

Latin AND Drama! You guys have some awesome subjects!

Not exactly. Solipsism is the philosophical view that nothing you see, hear, or experience (i.e. everything outside your own mind) is necessarily real. No one can know for sure that anything else exists. Everything outside your mind may just be thoughts planted in your mind. Solipsism (Latin: solus, alone + ipse, self) is the philosophical idea that "My mind is the only thing that I know exists." Solipsism is an epistemological or metaphysical position that knowledge of anything outside the mind is unjustified. The external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist. In the history of philosophy, solipsism has served as a skeptical hypothesis.

I'm gonna have to agree with you there. The "Scenes we'd like to see" part is always hysterically funny because all sorts of different funny and unexpected scenes can be created. This is just ... too restricted, I think. There's only so much fun you can get out of a row of letters and a picture.

O_O' 'S all I have to say.

Bravo, sir. Bravo.

You do Latin? And you do it well? You, my good sir, rockz.

Having had enough of the guy always blocking him, Robbie decided to throw him in the trash can.

Of course! You're right! Thanks, man. You just gave peace and rest to my soul. : peace:

I do pretty much ALL these things! Whenever I'm doing something that only requires my mental attention (often reading), I begin playing around with something. Depending on what's nearby, I ... - Open/close the battery lid of remote controls/my cellphone. - Play with my pen, Boris-style. - Throw my pencil case up while it spins around and catch it, seeing how many spins I can make it do before I catch it. - Twiddling my facial hair. - Twisting my hair around my finger. I once managed to tie a knot that I couldn't undo. I had to cut the knot off. - Twisting my necklace, making the little links break and fall apart. I've already managed to wreck one necklace that way. I'd hate for this to break, too, but I do it almost unconsciously. - Click open and close my metal wristwatch. - Twiddling my lips with my fingers. Yes, I know it sounds weird, and it's hard to describe. You have to see it to undertand.

If it wasn't for the kittens ...

Ah, okay, my bad. I've never seen that part of the show.

But then it's just picture caption like the other thread ...?

"There's a radioactive gas-leak in the station?! Well, we don't want people to pani... wait, is this thing on?"

The image in my head is hilarious! XD
