I texted you about it! And you responded! Do you not pay attention to the things I tell you?!
In other news, I finished Zelda: Skyward Sword today and it was awesome, and I started Shadows of the Damned just now and it is awesome.
Nintendo could make the controller render in 3D 1080p and cure cancer, but they'd all give the conference a 2/10 if a Metroid game isn't announced

I'm still sad that the Wii U screen isn't capacitive.

Hell it's looking good for them this year. I know I'm excited as hell for E3 thanks to the rumors coming out pre E3. I'm honestly leaning toward Wii U as my next gen console right now.

Oh, I don't think they're THAT bad. I spend FAR too much time in the Wii-U thread, and they're all just genuinely excited to see their favorite franchises in HD. All Nintendo really has to do is showcase some good-looking Mario game or whatever Retro is working on, and they'll be happy.
There will be some crazy mothafuckers, no doubt, but that's E3 in general and that kinda goes for everybody. Just wait for the MS conference and all the Kinect bullshit they do.

Rightfully so.
Retro is the shit, so whatever they are working on is the best part of Nintendo.
Honestly though, we know how the Nintendo conference is going to go: Horrible new controller, some awesome first party games, some awful spin-off first party games, no third party support, some outrageous statements like HD and online multiplayer gaming is a fad (oh wait, they finally realized they were wrong on that one), and come people on stage with poor communication skills.
So basically, you endure the shit for something like Retro showing their new game. Nintendo simply doesn't put on a good performance for their conference, even if they have good stuff to show.
Oh wow, that's pretty disappointing.
Wat. I don't think this can be right.

Reggie is far and away the best E3 presenter out there. He has a stage presence that commands attention. MS/Sony just have talking suits.
And I definitely disagree about bad performances. 2010 was a great showcase for them, as it gained a lot of positive attention and interest in the 3DS. More importantly, 2010 just had a flood of games. Games that could actually be good, like Skyward Sword and Kid Icarus Uprising and MOTHAFUCKIN' DONKEY KONG COUNTRY RETURNS. While MS/Sony were just getting on-board the motion control train, trying to play catch-up and having their own embarrassing, gif-worthy bullshit, Nintendo was the one actually giving us the things we came to these conferences for: new cool systems and announcing potentially awesome video games.
I think 2012 will be similar.
As of the last time we saw it, anyway. Or they'll just license some multitouch tech for the resistive screen (it does exist) so they can keep the accuracy for stylus input.

Reggie is good, but when he's not out there, it all falls apart in my opinion.
I don't know maybe part of it is Nintendo just has a large amount of products or facets of their products that just don't interest me. I am in no way interested in the Wii U. People are excited about it being HD, well everything has been in HD for the past 7-8 years. Yes, the motion controls of the Wii was pretty genius, and they were certainly there first, but they are so woefully behind in areas that I find more important (HD, online, third party games, among others), that I don't really take them seriously outside of wanting to play Zelda and Metroid.

They are most definitely behind in a LOT of important areas, no one will argue that. Here's hoping the Wii U can fix some of that.

I hope 343 does its own Recon armor sort of thing.
Okay, someone explain what this means please.
Doubt it.
Touch sensitive using electrodes or some shit. Like how normal pens won't work on iPhones.
More excited for Marathon personally
Guessing they are waiting to reveal it since it will be a "720" title as well.

iPhones have a capacitive screen, Nintendo DS has a resistive touchscreen (Wii U screen in resistive).
Basically, the Wii U screen requires a stylus for optimal use.
Capacitive is on phones and tablets and is more awesomer. It uses electricity from your fingers. Then there's receptive. It uses actual pressure and is more old school. Nintendo is behind the times so of course uses it.

Yeah that's the easiest example to use I think. Modern smartphone and tablet screens are capacitive, and screens like the DS and 3DS are resistive.

Isn't that like, several months old? At least?
Possibly.
They really need to implement Waypoint within Halo 4. I have no motive to log in and have to launch waypoint seperatley.

Speaking of feelsbadman.jpg, I think the left bumper on my red controller is dying
It's been my baby ever since I got my red astros. Do they still sell those neat lookin' chrome controllers? I might pick up one of those.
Or maybe I'll wait for the inevitable Halo 4 special edition.

I guess I should have said I don't know the password to that account. I just made some shit up waaay back in '05. I was a dumb middle school kid, and I have the same account ever since :/

Oh, well in that case go to live.com to attempt to sign in and say forgot password, and they'll email you and you will be able to change it.
Try this link, if you can remember some details about your account you can get a new password sent to any email you want, instead of being limited to whatever backup email you have attached to your account.

Won't they send it to that e-mail? The E-mail I don't have a password to?

Man, my 10 year old cousin is over playing campaign. It's all AR and melee with him.
If you added a backup email to your Live account, it'll get sent to that. If you can't access that email, try the link I posted, and as long as you have enough information about your Live account to prove that it's yours, a new password will be sent to whatever email you choose.
Welcome to my life.
They are going to ask you for a billion items of proof and no amount of proof will actually satisfy them.

So reading this:
Activision could have terminated the contract with Bungie if Reach:
1) Didn't release in 2010;
2) Didn't fall in line with the contract obligations (other than the firm release date);
3) Didnt get a metric score of at least 80 after one month of release;
4) If retail sales on basis of sell-in had not reached six million during 6 months after release.
Geez, I knew developer and publisher relationships where shady but this takes the cake.

I always imagined it would be something like that, but it's rather unsettling actually seeing it in print.
Makes me wonder how much this effected the game quality.
The release cycle for Destiny also seems like a death march. Good luck to Bungie, rooting for them that everything goes fine.
Not so much quality, but certainly the direction it took. However I didn't check how far into Reach's development this contract was made. They could have easily had all the shitty mass-market ideas in play before the pressure was put on.

Wow, that Bungie stuff is crazy. Sucks for them that all these details got out. And some of those things Destiny could and can get terminated for are just stupid.
Getting hyped for their game though. This stuff always happens when I go to sleep
Nope son, I turned 18 the 23th of April

Well, to be fair, I wouldn't exactly consider it leaked, as the contract was legally released because of the lawsuit. Sucks for them, perhaps, but I doubt they didn't know it was going to happen.
