I feel sorry for the Wii. It's the Nintendo curse. Gamers only buy the Nintendo games on the system. Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart. That's it. I reqd Iun's review for this and it pretty much summed up why I'm looking forward to this game. But, why aren't others? Gamers cry for these "mature" games. This is that. We want games with good Wii controls and a good experience. This is also, that. So, why aren't gamers jizzing their pants at the sight of games such as this? I know I am. If the main character was replaced by Link, this would be a million seller. Yes, the games need to be advertised. That's a fact. It's no longer enough to just put a game on the shelves and expect it to sell. The market is saturated now. There's 3 leading games consoles, so many, many different games in different genres. People feel overwhelmed when they go shopping for games, and as consumers we really are spoiled for choice. To make your game stand out from the crowd, you need to market it. What do Mario Kart and WiiFit have in common? They were heavily marketed by Nintendo and are still selling. I turn the TV on and still see adverts for these games. STILL. How long has it been since the release of those games?! These sales didn't just happen by chance. If you aren't being made aware of something, then you simply do not know that it is there. The Wii Console is only at fault for certain aspects of this puzzle. The online system is not as diverse as the 360 or PS3, that is a problem. The system is at fault there. However, the system is not at fault for the sales of this game. The system doesn't dictate what games you choose to go out and buy. The gamers do that. The simple fact here is that people either did not know the game existed (due to lack of marketing) or they simply saw the game and thought "no thanks." This is, by all reports, a great game. It's not shovelware. This deserves to do better.

Did you know that an anagram of yours is Ale Shy? Or...Lash ye!
I'll fucking Lash Ye!
Also, another anagram of your is MUDKIPZ.
I can't take the credit for that. I quickly googled an anagram your name thingy on the interwebs. By that same token, an anagram of interwebs is New Tribes!

Oh behalf of all men, I apologise for the boob talk. Similarly, I also apologise fully for Dannyboy of Daneland.

The Materialism Thread (a.k.a Things I Want)

Hahahhah. Nooo. I didn't mean the actual insides of boobs. That would like me saying "Hai Shorty...I love your spleeeee-eeeen!" -
Yeah, it really works. Also, what Caris said earlier: 'Erbal stuuuff. Go for that. My Mum also sprinkles a little bit of this lavender shtuff onto her pillow as it helps her to relax and get a good night's sleep. I used to be a proper sissy girl when it came to doing presentations at Uni. Also, whenever in school or at uni, where you're having a whole class discussion and you want to say something, but feel afraid of speaking out in front of everyone. I used to hate that feeling. In the end, what I felt worked for me is when I slowed myself down. Not exactly deep breathes, but breathing as a slower and more natural rate. And slowing down my speech when talking. Panic leads to talking fast, leading to stumbling over words, leading to more anxiety, then panic. Talking fast, not getting enough air in, not breathing as naturally as I should be. So, I slowed down. Keeping calm is a really, really difficult thing to do if you're not naturally a calm person. But, you can train yourself to do this. Slow things down, and maintain that you are the one in control. In control of what you say and speak, and in control of your breathing and your body. When you get anxious, your heart races so fast, but you can learn how to keep your cool. With your interview with the police, take your time with what you are saying. Think about what you want to say in your head and in your heart, and say things slowly and precisely. Be cool. You can doo eet!

Happy Birthday, Tellynsaurus Rex. For you, I might crack out the whip and give you 18 Birthday Lashings. Right on your big, white arse. -
The Materialism Thread (a.k.a Things I Want)

The inner boob. The cleavage. So, if you squeezed both breasts together and put your hand in the middle...that bit. I love that bit. When I was younger, I didn't understand why it would be fair for men to walk around topless and not women. So, I said to myself that when I become President (this was before I knew how things worked in the UK - Political wise) I was going to make the men wear bikinis and bras for a day and the women could walk freely. A telescope would be super sweet. I think a drumkit would be ok, too? For things that I want, I don't think I neeeed much. Games and doovdes would be nice, but deep down there's only a few things I would want. I would love to have my own house, and my own car. Having your own place would be great. Kinda like being in charge of your own castle. I'd be the general and I promise I'd keep it tidier. Living in student houses or renting, it just isn't the same, because you know it's only temporary and you know it ultimately belongs to someone else. It's quite someway off though, since I need proper employment before I can even consider such a thing. Aside from that, what I'd love would be a new drum kit. In particular, I would love the kit that Alan White (ex-Oasis drummer) had when he was in the Don't Look Back In Anger video: And, there is no way I could ever get this, but I would love to get this: Eric Cantona's shirt. I'd have that over my bed. He was the King. -
Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much about bumping really old threads, as long as your post is relevant to the topic. It's only when you're bumping up threads and spamming or asking something that isn't relevant that it becomes a problem. I think it's better to bump up the Zack & Wiki thread than making a new one anyway, heh. As for the question in hand, I haven't got the game, but I'll get the female to answer eet for you, since she has it.
-
Haha, I'm the same. Football isn't fun if you can't rant and rave about it to someone, though. If there was a Nuclear War, every single person on the planet was wiped out apart from me, I would miss the football watchings and the discussings.
-
Just wondering, when you hear of other team's results, do you associate them with forum members? I do. Whenever I hear Colchester now I think "Noodle-munnn!" That day, my arse tensed up during each of those 7 goals they conceded against Preston.
-
Haha. I was watching that game and told my brother that if Stoke keep banging balls into the box, they'll get something eventually. They had 10 corners that game. For most of them, Pepe Reina was the only Liverpool player attacking the ball, so I had a feeling that if Stoke were going to get something, it would be from there. The United game against Burnley was pretty entertaining I thought. Burnley had some great chances, but couldn't finish. On another day, we probably would have drawn that game. How we managed to score 3 times is beyond me, but once that first goal came I think it helped the team relax, somewhat. Also, bluddy hell, Valencia is now seemingly crucial to our attacks. I thought him and Berbatov were great today. (except Berba should have buried that chance he had just before the goal. He did the hard part fine.) Also, I was in the gym and let out a wohoo when I saw that Everton had beaten City.

A little, yes. I had the image of Dannyboy raising his eyebrows up and down behind his glasses and pulling a geeky grin. Maybe sticking a little tongue out, too. Molly, if you want to de-size your breasticles, then go for eet. However, if Ine ever even thought about doing that, I would cry so fucking hard. I'm not joking. Breasts have magical properties. There's the upper boob, the under boob (best part, imo) and there's inner boob. Side boob is a bit over-rated though, it's no match for the inner boob. Everyone just thinks it's about the nipple. They are so wrong. The nipple isn't even in my top 3 parts of the breast! Nowhere near. -
Wohooo! I love that film, but I don't think it's a particularly well known film. I've rarely met people who have seen it. It's also got a cracking soundtrack! Definitely not for everyone, but it's quite quirky I think.
-
I did imagine you to look different, Ramar. Not an Asian, but...I pictured you wearing a biiiig Fallout Boy t-shirt, with a baseball cap, black flesh tunnels in your ears, and pulling a "rawwwwk!" pose.

Thanks for the posts and this lovely thread. I loooove that Friends clip, and I play it about once every week because it makes me chuckle, heehee. I woke up this morning and got a phone call off one of my best friends from Uni, so we had a little chat. Then, I went downstairs to get all showered up and watch the game between Stoke and Liverpool, as I had a feeling it would be a good game. Got two presents off my Mum, which were 2 pairs of Simpsons socks and the Cardiff Edition of Monopoly. I have no idea what her thought process was when she bought these gifts. The annoying thing is that my brother recently bought a car, so he was going to give me his old one. This week, it's been having a few problems, and it turns out that I'm not getting it now. Which put me into a bad mood as I've been really struggling for work without one. My Mum says she's spoken to my Dad and he's on the lookout for a cheap car, but I'll believe it when I see it... So, very annoying considering I've either been making long journeys to get to schools, or I've just not been called up for work in the morning...because I won't physically be able to make it there on time using the train. If I'm in the same situation in 2 weeks time where no progress has been made, I'm just going to have to get a bank loan or something and get it myself. Grrr. Spent the rest of the day watching the United game against Burnley, and then went to the gym for a few hours afterwards. I can safely say that this birthday is one to forget. The high points being this thread, the lovely Facebook and text messages, the phone call off my friend and hearing a Happy Birthday jingle when I inserted my card into the reader at the gym. Edit: Oh, also, funny story: There was this asian guy at the gym, pretty skinnyish, and he seemed a bit lost with what he was doing. So, I gave him some advice and tried to help him out. Then, he asks me: "Oh, how do you get a bigger arse?" "...what?" "how do you get a bigger arse?" "Well, there's a number of things you could do, I think. Whyyy do you want a bigger arse?" "Cos girls love that! They love having something to squeeeeze innit!" "yeah...good luck with that."
-
Haha, that's one of those jokes where I laughed and took an intake of breath at the same time. Like when you're watching a game and the other team takes a shot at your goal that just goes narrowly wide. "hooooooo."
-
I got both because I grew up with them. Also, I love the "muppet face" which the muppets do after they laugh. Like Animal does in that picture. Ine has started doing it now, hahahaha. I just remember seeing them in store and thinking I had to get them. They were only a few quid each, too. My favourite t-shirts. Also, for some reason, that Slimer t-shirt is really comfortable. I recommend.
-
Why not? I didn't think I had many geeky t-shirts, but apparantly these two count: - ignore the face. I'm flying a kite, and I was a bit too engrossed in what I was doing. I'm surprised a tongue wasn't poking out. Geeky or no? The Slimer one is borderline maybe, but definitely not the Animal one.
-
I've seeked the opinion of my female and also ViPeR/Joe: Both have said that this is a geeky t-shirt. But, I think I don't let my geeky side out enough. I'm not sure if it'll suit me. Bugger it. Geeky side wins. Orderings.
-
Oh my God. A Tetris T-Shirt!! I hope it would look good on me. Would it suit me? Screw you, Caris. I want eet! GIVE EET TO ME NAAW.

In fairness, not all the players he has bought are bad buys. Pepe Reina for example is a great goalkeeper, and I think that's what the main discussion was about when you brought it up. Park's had a problem with his knees though, the swelling that he gets when he returns from International Duty. He hasn't been the same Park that we all know and love, but even then you can see that he's trying. It's a shame, but I think his injury problem is becoming very serious now. Nani is such a strange one. The fans want to see him do well, and he impressed me in his first season. I think part of the problem is that he doesn't have a left foot, and he always needs to cut inside when he plays on the left, which makes him look very predictable. But, he's been there for a while now and this is something he should have worked on. He hasn't progressed at all since being here, which is a bit annoying. I want to see him do well, but I don't think he's helped himself. There's some serious money issues at the moment. We posted something like a £42 million profit, but £80million of that came from the Ronaldo sale. If we hadn't sold him, we'd have made a hefty loss. Considering that the only possible game we could have played but didn't play last season was the FA Cup Final, that isn't very good news. The Glazers have fucked us right up the arse, and part of me thinks that we're now beginning to feel the burden that they have heaped on the club.
-
I think this is why a lot of United fans are particularly warm to Park Ji Sung. He's not the most naturally gifted or most technical footballer. But, he always puts in the effort, and he's willing to put himself on the line for the sake of the team. For some reason, he always seems to do well in big games too and he is usually in the right place at the right time. By comparison, Nani tries to be too flashy. Yeah, he's got talent, but I don't think he's quite got the heart that Park has. He doesn't do half the tracking back or defensive work that Park does, and he doesn't do the simple things right like Park does.

I hope you did well with your exams, Chair. Good luck to any more that you have. My God, I wanted to smash my own skull in last night with a rock. I went to bed at around 2 or something. But, I didn't get to sleep until 9 oclock. NINE! I could have cried. I tried sleeping on the right, I couldn't do it. I turned over to my left, and my shoulder felt uncomfortable. So, I slept on my front, and I needed to pee. When I came back from the loo, the whole process repeated. I heard my Mum's alarm clock going off, my brother leaving for College, my other brother leaving for Uni, and I heard my Dad leaving the house. They'd all slept and were officially starting their days. I hadn't even slept! It was the single worst night of sleep I have ever had. Now, I feel unclean even after showering, and I don't feel good.

Didn't he score something like 15 goals last season? That's pretty good considering where he was playing (on the wing). I remember speaking to one Liverpool fan last season, and I asked him what he thought of Kuyt. He said "as a hard-working player, he's 7 or 8/10. As a Liverpool striker, he's about 3." I think the formation that Rafa chooses to play doesn't help him, though. Its usually a 4-2-3-1 with Torres at the top, Kuyt and Yossi on either side of that midfield with Gerrard through the midfield. Just say if Liverpool did buy another striker, like David Villa, where would he play?! I can't remember the last time Liverpool played a straight 4-4-2.
