yeh, we had the ONM dvd running just briefly and it garnered a lot of attention. makes me get more hyped when people stop, watch it, then ask a lot of questions lol!

what is ur reasoning behind this? and what examples can you give to back it up? and all made-for-Wii games use the standard controller (as in the wiimote), the classic controller may have been standard last gen, but it is now relegated to an accessory for classic games (hence the name), your argument makes no sense, i'm sorry. the Wii has more support than the last two generations of nintendo consoles had, and its all thanks TO the new controller. the classic controller is an add-on, bundling it with the console goes against everything! if it's bundled THAT might give warning signs to developers! no classic controller in-box nintendo, it'll send out ALL the wrong vibes!

i wouldn't put too much into what's been said. i work in GAME (leaving it actually, long story) and i've heard someone i work with telling a customer that instead of pre-pre-ordering Wii they should go for PS3 as only nintendo make games for Wii, whereas everyone makes games for Sony! too tired to go into why i'm leaving, but i will in due course... the managers over here would be in a lot of shit basically if the reasons behind that little incident and many more in the belfast branches got out. nothing against GAME as a whole i should mention. anyhoo... back on-topic....

or the Bates Motel...?

it won't be included, and i actually hope it isn't. it will push the cost of it up, and will give an overall impression to newbies that nintendo's new controller, the wiimote, is just a fad/gimmick/whatever if a standard controller is bundled with it. it should be sold seperately with a box that pushes the fact that it is mainly for playing VC games. after all, the wiimote and nunchuck are the main reasons behind this console, you don't want to negate all that outta the box of the console!! the VC is something that not all buyers of Wii will use anyway, so giving them an unnecessary pad is silly, and like i said it will push up the price and make the wiimote look like an accessory rather than the other way around. and all this talk of 3rd parties not supporting the console if the "shell" isn't bundled is rubbish! LOOK at the amount of support the Wii has gathered, much more than Cube or N64 and that's because of the new control scheme! developers love it! bundling the "shell" (or whatever) with the console will make people think nintendo has no confidence in the wiimote and THAT lack of confidence is what would push developers away, not the wiimote! and after reading about marvel alliance and mortal kombat wii, i'm hopeful that SSBM will drop this "classic shell" only control sceme and go with the wiimote, otherwise there's no point in shouting about this new-fangled system if one of your biggest franchises isn't going to use it. much much much better to have two wiimotes. the classic controller will be very cheap anyway as it plugs into the wiimote and uses it's transmitters.

i'm gonna go with you too demonmike with 10th november. my reasoning? well, the timeline in the free book with NGamer this month shows "November" as the month for Wii. there's no big hoopla around it, very understated in a matter-of-fact way, so i'm gonna go with it anyway since the magazines might just know but can't say... who knows? the latest ONM has that competition to win a Wii, with Nintendo delivering a Wii on launch day to the ten winners. the closing date is monday 6th november. i had already eliminated 17th coz of the ps3 and i can't see ninty changing everything because of sony, and in the section where people send in quick questions for one-word answers in the letters section someone asked if it would launch on the 24th of november? the answer was a plain "no". again, no hoopla, no pretense (sp?) just simple answers that can be added together which is why i think the 10th. (what a long answer! talk about around the world for a short cut!) i think it'll retail for £159.99 with a game (possibly Wii Sports but maybe Metroid and Zelda bundles will be available too...?) with two wiimotes but just one nunchuck. saying that, i wouldn't mind if it was a little dearer with a bundle like that, but this is my shot-in-the-dark guess lol.

hi there rocky... millisle? lovely part of the country knew a girl with that same nickname a long time ago! deary me.... lol... anyhoo, welcome aboard.

that's it, had enough, not gonna be talked to like this when all i did was come here to mourn! only one thing to do now...

but he isn't easing any grief. he has no grief, and that's fair enough, but what you don't do is come onto a thread where it is obvious from the posts that there are people on it that ARE grieving, big time, and make jokes about how that person died! you may as well go to any of the mourning events his fans are arranging and point and laugh! it's the same thing, i was mourning the loss of a hero, and someone comes in to the place that's been set aside in these forums to do that, and he laughs about it. if he had no grief for steve irwin that's his choice, no need to come to the thread at all, never mind what he's done! i was trying to mourn the loss of a great saviour of the sharks (which is a VERY important cause for me and my friends) and he has completely ruined it for me. beyond forgiveness.

no, i have RESPECT and you just wanted to ruin it with ur immature childish jokes. you always have to be right, see it all across this forum. just because you didn't want to pay respects but wanted to play jokes! NOTHING gives you the right to come onto a thread meant as a sign of respect and make jokes! anyone with a bit of sense would KNOW there'd be people there that'd take offense, and i have, massively! if you didn't wana come into this thread to pay respects you shouldn't have entered it in the first place! i would NEVER do that!!! no mature person would! and you actually think uv done nothing wrong!! and i'm pompous? no, i'm just trying to show some respect and have taken offense! as i have already stated the man was a role model to me, and i actually AM mourning his death, that is plain to see to anyone on here!! to say that i'm just being pompous shows how inconsiderate you are!! congrats, just when i think u can't upset me anymore you've just managed it! when someone like steve irwin dies, someone who ISN'T a murderer for example ffs(!!) and you open a thread and see there are people who ARE actually upset over his death you feel the need to make jokes!!! then you accept no responsibilty, and when i get even more upset you call me pompous!!!! unbelievable!!

not really in the mood to post this now because of certain someone on here, but was my way here to post it anyways... it IS very funny, and well done, right down to the opening camera work: http://www.bebo.com/FlashBox.jsp?FlashViewType=TV&FlashBoxId=1931069312

oh for heaven;s sake!!!! wise up!! obviously some people deserve it, you're just taking "the letter of the law to defeat the purpose of the law" as the saying goes, anything to try to get the last word, to try to ruin this thread, to make yourself seem manly or whatever your pathetic reason is!! pathetic sums u up, there are plenty of words i'd use but i can't on here. i am actually saddened by what has happened, i'm a huge fan of conservationists particularly steve irwin, as he has helped awareness about sharks worldwide, which is something that i truly believe in!! it is a just cause to me, and something that is very important in my life! and in that regard he WAS a personal hero of mine, and someone i looked up to in many ways! so congratulations rokhed, you've ruined a thread all about having respect for a HERO of mine that has just died!!! uv ruined that for me!! ruined my chance to chat with my online friends about someone i admired and respected. i hope your happy with urself u selfish arrogant ****! wanted to come here and talk with other like-minded people and you have done this!!! yet u'll probably go on thinking uv done nothing wrong, all happy about what uv done!! how DARE you come on and ruin ANYONE's chance to mourn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD!!!!!!!!!!

actually i wasn't on the forum at the time. and you are actually DEFENDING making jokes about ANYONE dying! that means you're not worth arguing with, you've proven you'll never admit when ur wrong even tho so many here can see it. now, to get back on topic... my niece found out just there now that steve irwin died, she ended up crying down the phone to me the man touched so many, and the kids loved his shows so much we're bound to see a lot of repeats of his series now, which can only be a good thing, wish it was under better circumstances tho, obviously! if anyone hears of any such repeats can they post it here? don't wana miss any, cheers.

you're one to talk! you always come across here that you always have to be right about everything. well, taking the piss outta one man's death isn't clever, funny, nor right!

the forums would be much better there if they were run by the professional magazine staff, but unfortunately that is just impossible as they have enough work to be going on with. this means tho that it has been left to be moderated by a bunch of idiots to be frank.

he may have wanted the tape to continue recording so that his colleagues can learn from it, but he wouldn't have wanted it aired, that's the tabloids for you!! and yes your pictures ARE sick!! can you not get it thru to your sick head how messed up it is to make fun of recently deceased?!?!?!!?!

to be fair, that's the daily star which, as per usual, appears to have taken things said outta context. i doubt he ever actually wanted it aired. now rokhed, you want to come to a thread to make jokes, where people want to show their respect for the dead, and you expect NOT to get flamed?! jesus! can anyone who wishes to make fun of the dead, or speak ill of them, please leave this thread, we wish to continue discussing this in an appropriate manner.

incase anyone was wondering why i went off on one, there were pictures posted here that were taking the mickey outta someone dying, so thank you to whoever took them down. still looking for soon videos, a lot of tributes but mainly slideshows.

i'll ignore shino, if you wana mock the dead go elsewhere. lol, very good 3rd children, that's what i'm talking about need more stuff like that lol! looking for some youtube stuff now, a lot of tributes already!!

steve irwin was an hilarious man, this thread SHOULD be full of the humour he brought, but not this sick tirade. this thread was created to show respect and dicuss the man, not make jokes about someone dying. anyone who makes jokes about anybody dying is sick. simple as that. so, back to the topic, and to those of us who aren't immature idiots... was gonna start looking thru youtube etc for some of irwin's best moments and post them on here... who's gonna join me ?

exactly, so can someone delete the picture from rokhed's latest post please? some of us are taking offense at this sick humour when we've already expressed that we admired the man whose life has ended. he is only doing it now to get at us, syrely this breaks some forum rules somewhere? this thread was for those of us who wished to pay our respects.

lol, well, you get my drift lol

"The Hill" reminds me of The Firm's building in Airwolf Moria Eenuh, love the house!! I wish i had a pool! and the windows in the roof make your top bedroom look very interestig... your's by any chance? must be amazing with the corn fields there right now! and heaven... i had no idea athens was so built up!

don't sigh and give up shorty, many of us here agree whole-heartedly with you, i'm just going to ignore those that wish to joke about someone dying. they'll meet their maker some day and as g'kar said "the wheel turns", or in a more matter-of-fact way, what goes around comes around. and if anyone wants to say he was a hero to them, or to people they knew, or to their children, they are entitled to. he WAS a hero of mine, as i have a huge fascination with sharks and he did so much to help preserve certain species from extinction. he'll be greatly missed, and i mean that.

"shit" is fine for a PG, plenty have it, even ET (a "U") has it whispered once. as for the "F" word, it even appeared once in an old 80's Action Man cartoon, and that was a PG! although it was sung, so maybe not maybe people caught on lol! noticed the simpsons last night, about 7/7:30 i think it was, had the word "bastard" several times too... tsk, tsk, what is the world coming to
