He's totally right. Geek and Otaku ARE the only ones who want more storage space. It's kinda like the definition, after all, we're the ones who care about video games, it's pretty much by definition, like only ambidextrous people want tools that aren't designed to be used in just your right or left hand, or only tall people want doorframes to be higher.

If you think being a geek or otaku is a bad thing, then get out. There are already plenty of us who are proud to admit what we are, so we don't need any posers. Some of us actually have meaningful well rounded and healthy lives on top of it.



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.

Are you living in your own world? I mean have you seen the amount of Hardcore games that are coming to the Wii.

Welcome to the real world.

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.

^He wasn't being sarcastic, as he spammed a lot of threads with the same post. Learn to understand what is sarcasm or not.

I do not doubt that something like this happened.

However, the quotes mean that it may not be what was actually said.
It could have been -- only a small percentage of gamers have expressed a need for additional storage.

Edge does not have a good web presence (linked up with Next Generation) and does not seem to do much for the Wii -- so not sure who was jabbing who on this one.

But I imagine by the holidays we will have a solution better than the current refrigerator model.

PS -- I cannot find an organizational chart for NoE, but it does not seem this person is in position to make decisions or know everything.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

 I was being sarcastic. Learn when to say learn to understand what is sarcasm and learn to not say it to people who are being sarcastic about people being sarcastic.
