I had a SNES as a teenager, and I loved it. It had Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, Axelay, Cybernator, Megaman X, Shin Megami Tensei, Wizardy V: Heart of the Maelstrom, Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, Super Mario RPG, Super Metroid, Castlevania IV, A Link to the Past, etc.
I skipped the N64 because the only RPG available was Quest 64, and I didn't give a shit about Ocarina of Time.
I bought a GameCube, but the only games worth playing were Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2, Eternal Darkness, Tales of Symphonia, and Viewtiful Joe.
I bought a Wii, and it collects dust unless I feel like replaying Trauma Team, No More Heroes, or Muramasa: the Demon Blade.
I'm not buying a Wii U. Since Nintendo of America has no intention of releasing games like Xenoblade, The Last Story and Pandora’s Tower in the US, I have no further use for Nintendo.
There's unfortunately no word that means "normal person who wants his music to sound good without buying into the woo" [skepdic.com].
We call ourselves "metalheads".
The US is a country where people with an interest in STEM disciplines are mocked as nerds, geeks, and losers.
The US is a country where American engineers and programmers not only have to compete with offshoring, but with H-1B visa holders.
The US is a country where engineers and programmers get a crappy salary unless they work in finance.
With these facts in mind, I find it surprising that Barack Obama has the temerity to go on record as saying "we don't have enough engineers", while saying that "private sector companies will promote science, technology, engineering and math education, offer students incentives to finish degrees, and help universities fund their programs. The participating companies intend to double their internship hiring." It's going to take more than that to get more engineers, and we have to start in grammar school.
You know, you could just start ignoring them right now.
I already have a PS3 and a 360. I want to get my money's worth out of 'em, and I don't feel like explaining to my wife why I'm going to get rid of three "perfectly good" consoles.
