I vote N-Gage. I mean why would you want to buy one of those, when you could wait a while until the portable playstation thingy comes out. It will play these cartridges, but they are actually disc, weird.

Don't know much about it, but it might be really good. Certainly a lot better than this Notorious-God-Awful-Gamers-Experiment...*N-Gage*

****Replies to the 2 post BELOW PolishedWeasel's****
**Zaneatron & anwserman**

*Ahem*

How can me calling the Ngage *gay* offend you *anwserman*, when you yourself voted against the Ngage...I am at a crossroad...and there's no directional sign.

I did not refer to the term in that manner, I have no beef with any type of person...well except morons. There are several ways to use that word. I wasn't calling anyone names...just the Ngage.

Oh and people express themselves in many different ways. If we all expressed ourselves the same way, then how would we be different and original.

I hope I have made myself clear.

theres a particular word in that statement that i thing you should change, ill give you a hint, it begins with G and ends in ay. this is not the place to use the word gay in that context, and there probably never will be :S so change it before you get caught by the mods. they wont take to it too kindly.

To the actual poll, i would like vote for 3 of the things possibly more, so i wont bother voting. it just would leave me torn up inside :S

Nov 15, 2003, 06:11 PM

I second Zaneatron's thought. Using the word 'gay' as a put down is not only insulting towards me (as I am so) but it shows a major lack of maturity for someone, at it shows that the person cannot seem to express their thoughts in an adultlike manner.

I vote for N-Gage, as I think it is a horribly flawed system on many fronts, primarely the nasty design.

Microsoft getting into video games is the worst thing to happen in a while. They will buy out nintendo and sony eventually and then make a really crappy sub-company so there "isn't" a monopoly, just like they did with computers. *yes, microsoft owns apple) We won't have any alternatives. Will all have to become retarded "twitch" gamers (those who play crappy action games, fighting games, and 1st person shooters and nothing involving actual skill or intelligence)

BTW- I really despise HALO and everyone who thinks that it is the greatest game ever. You know who you are.

I would say that for microsoft, entering the videogame business was definetely not a mistake. I hate bill gates for it, but it was a great business decision. He WILL take over the video game industry in a number of years, and there is no hoipe of stopping him, unless nintendo or sony can pull something obscenely drastic. Microsoft could create a practical monopoly on everything on earth if they wanted. not all at the same time, but eventually, bill gates could be the king of earth because he has just so much goddamned money. He can out spend anyone one th planet, and could probably buy Iran for himself. Nintendo will die out because of Xbox, and This makes me very sad.

Solstis

Nov 15, 2003, 08:44 PM

Um... people, Nintendo and Microsoft are competing against SONY. It is SONY that controls the market, SONY that took the candy away from the baby that is Nintendo. SONY (not microsoft) made the Playstation which crushed the N64, and it is SONY that basically owns the market.
Both Nintendo and Microsoft are either losing money or barely squeezing by with the 2nd generation products (or on we on the third?).
If the demise of Nintendo is anyone's fault... it is 1... NINTENDO'S for not making the crucial transiion from cartridge to disk. If they listened to the makers of the playstation, Sony would not control the market as they do. Bleh!

Anyway, that's what the chip in my head tells me to say. *twitch*

I'm not a huge anime fan, but i think it will be/is to anime what DBZ was. Thousands of kiddies will grow up thinking that it is the one and only anime experiance.

And i would not be so sure about the microsoft thing, as all companies fall. It is what it is because of its bitch-making of the personal computer market. What will happen when the new age of home technology is developed by a small non-microsoft owned company? The same thing that happedned when the phone kicked the telgraph's ass. My point is that the buisness world is very unpredicable, and it is best not to assume too much.

I have to say Arnold being governor, but not because he is stupid, just because I hated hearing about all that re-election business. No offense to Californians, it is just that I am in Chicago.

The fact that an election is approaching does not mean that ANY politician should be immune to criticism. There is still a year's worth of influence left in that man, not to mention what mistakes he may or may not have made in the past. The fact of the matter is he is at least partly responsible for the situation our country is in now. If the people do not criticise and monitor their elected officials, corruption runs even more rampant. Without the input and voice of the people democracy dies.

I think the saddest thing in the world is people don't take an active role in their country's politics because they feel that, "Oh, just one more year," or "It doesn't effect me," or my personal favorite, "I can't do anything about it."

All I pointed out was that you could offend someone.

If you'd of botherd reading my previous post you'd of read that there have been several huge revelations over here recently.
(I wasn't going to go into details but one revelation is about some of Diana's personal letters being made public. Which suggested she knew something would happen)

And by saying "Am I still hung up about it?" That's a big enough insult to my country as humanly possible. It was a huge tragedy which even you pointed out(!?) so yes, I am still 'hung up' about the tragic event.

(oh lookee, theres gonna be a cutsey remark about when i said something about the taliban etc...) im not the type to be really afftected by things. not to say i wasn't affected by 9-11, however.

maybe i should just stop right here, since you're a strong British nationalist, and im just another American to you. so there really isnt much reason to keep this debate going since you think me as such. but feel free to flame me all you want, since you're still angry at me for something that isnt even in the origonal post anymore.

(It's still a sore point over here. Need I remind you again of the big revelations about her death that have only just recently risen.)

And why would I tell you to feel angry about 11/09?
You don't have to be, it's up to you. Why even bring it up?
Hell, I haven't even demanded you feel angry about diana's death. I'm just telling you not to jump to conclusions about the limo driver!?

ok. This was almost as cold hearted as Symbios's i don't care about those who died post.

First off, I don't think that you should look at what Mother Teresea did out of religion but out of an act of kindness for 234159678 years. Hey she might have help this world out more then you expect.

Bradicus

Nov 22, 2003, 09:19 PM

religion is merely what moved her to help all of the people that she did. Mother Teresa gave most of her life selflessly for the good of underprivileged children.

To say that you do not care because it is religious is either senseless or ignorant.

I was saying that Princess Di was a rich wannabe compared to mother T. and yet, because she was not a celeb, people didnt care when Teresa died a month later.

read my posts, it doesn't matter if you care about her actions. All i am saying is that people who claim to love diana because of her acts of kindness, are merely buying into the media's guiltstory.

As opposed to sounding unbiased, you actually sound bitter. would it not be best to leave the beliefs of others alone?

Delsaber

Nov 22, 2003, 09:49 PM

That is partly true, some might "love" Diana because of other reasons besides her media coverage and her acts of kindness... What acts of kindness did she do? Did she help needy families or just smile for the camera and needed a nice story to go along with it?

Hrith

I agree with you on the Diana part, that's why I didn't bother arguing or anything. I couldn't care less about her death.

Have you considered what the world would be like if everyone made a point to not offend anyone? If non-offensiveness/political correctness ruled the world? I read a book about that, once. It boiled down to the arts being pitiful, the intelligent being forced to not being able to carry a thought, the beautiful had to wear masks, the strong were suppressed, and those who could see were made to be blind. There is no balance in a world like that. Political Correctness can go to Hell, as far as I'm concerned. Respect is to be put where it is earned, and taken from where it is not.

And for the record... N-Gage is gonna cost Nokia a LOT of money, and disappoint a handful of unfortunate gamers. Biggest mistake on that list (seeing that the 5 biggies on that list don't strike me as mistakes...).

Have you considered what the world would be like if everyone made a point to not offend anyone? If non-offensiveness/political correctness ruled the world? I read a book about that, once.

i read that book, yes, quite a F*CKED up world.
