http://nintendo-revolution.blogspot.com/2007/03/breaking-no-unified-gamer-tags-or-codes.html I do not own a Wii, but I have been fond of Nintendo in the past. I thought they might change things this time around (I was burned very badly by the N64), so I am confused as to how shoddily they are handling online. This article says that Nintendo will have users register for each online game individually rather than offering a unified service like XBox Live or even the PS Network. Can someone explain to me what in the hell Nintendo is doing? Apparently, even the friends lists are game specific. I want to be excited about the Wii, but I am too worried that Nintendo will botch things like they have in the past.
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
