Don't get me wrong, the Nintendo 64 wasn't terrible, but it just wasn't a "complete" system in my mind. I switched over to Sony once the PS2 came out pretty much solely because the PS1 had such an amazing back catalog (especially cause I love the RPG's) Nintendo always does a great job of making party systems I must say. To this day me and my friends always play drinking games that revolve around the N64. I just don't think Nintendo is as adaptive as they should be. Hell, even Sony looks organized as hell compared to Nintendo. The Wii will still perform phenomenally because of its low price and mass appeal (given the current trends continue), so I don't think Nintendo fans should be that concerned. It just always feels like Nintendo is a few steps behind the other guys to me when it comes to synthesizing everything into a coherent game system..
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
