Nintendo is fried the second they lose their software exclusivity. Look at Sega and tell me that's a more desirable situation for Nintendo than simply having a small market share. People who think Nintendo makes too many Mario games, lol, Nintendo would make nothing but Mario and Pokémon as a 3rd party.

These two drive me the most insane, more so the second (since I'm positive Nintendo won't be going 3rd party anytime soon, so it's basically a non issue). But what sense would completely dropping support for a system make in the long run? In fact, Nintendo is still getting crap for abandoning the Wii back in 2010 and not releasing a new console until 2012. (And rightfully so)It just blows my mind when people think Nintendo should:
- Go 3rd party. Sega was forced into 3rd party ghetto because they were broke, Dreamcast being the last of many failures. Just because PS3 lost a ton of cash it doesn't mean Sony should have gone 3rd party, it's the same here.
- Make a new console right now. It'd be prohibitively expensive to R&D and produce a new console right now, on top of being insanely risky since there's no proof it won't tank.
This means... I don't know what Nintendo should do, lol
Other than manage expectations and stay the course, Nintendo can't do too much for their current generation outside of price drops and MAYBE a Wii U re-brand, though I'm not even sure that would do much at this point.
The fact that 3DS was last year's top selling console and STILL performed beneath Nintendo's sales expectations shows how out of touch they were with the market in 2013 and really needed a much earlier reality check.

one that are tight. try a smaller size. just fill it with implants

See, this is like a woman padding her bra: there's just going to be disappointment when it comes off.
DM is right that something smaller and form-fitting would be beneficial. Microfiber/modal briefs and square-cut trunks are the ticket.
and start doing squats
It just blows my mind when people think Nintendo should:
- Make a phone. I mean, lol. Phones are yearly devices where specs DO matter and only a couple of brands make it big. A Nintendo phone would tank so hard.
- Go 3rd party. Sega was forced into 3rd party ghetto because they were broke, Dreamcast being the last of many failures. Just because PS3 lost a ton of cash it doesn't mean Sony should have gone 3rd party, it's the same here.

I don't know what they could do, I mean, beside mending their relationship with third-party developers, learning how to implement better online interactivity in your games, setting up an account system with cloud saving, releasing more games for the Virtual Console, slowing down on the tired IPs like Mario Party and releasing new games for their once awesome ones like F-Zero or StarFox, discounting the price of their games after some time just like they did with the Player's choice line back then, etc.
Well,actually, there's a lot they could do to try to salvage the damage the company has done over the years.
I've been an hardcore Nintendo fan since birth but I've lost interest around the Wii. I love my 3DS, but I don't trust them enough to buy a Wii U. They deserve everything they got coming to them. They can't go on like this forever.
I guess you mean his hair, his godly, perfect hair.
Iwata rocks If he has to go then he has to go, but he's one of my favorite gaming personalities ever. The guy really, really loves games. I understand, Iwata!

I understand, Iwata!I dislike Mario Party and I'd love to see the series disappear (because it drags down the quality of Mario spin-offs IMO), but the latest Mario Party game on 3DS which got bad reviews and lacks online play sold great despite being released along with Zelda, Mario and XB1, lol.
Nintendo as it is now really feels like 70's era Disney to me, right after Walt's death, where there's a great deal of confusion and lack of direction as to where to go. The company is having trouble because they've been trying too hard to act as an extension of Yamauchi instead of going off in a new direction. Yamauchi served them well enough, but after the 64 and Gamecube (which were the last two consoles developed while he was in charge.) It should have been apparent that his methods weren't really working in the new console market. I have hope that they can change, but this is an absolutely critical crossroads for them and part of me can't help but fear that they may change too late.
Tiny shorts it is then. I wish I still had my dad's weight set, Ho-hum.

just use random things at home. a jug of water or some cans or a ps3/xbox 360
Really ? That's such a shame. To be honest, I would have consider buying it if there was an online mode based on mini-games (because we all know how frustrating it would be to play a board for 1h only to be interrupted by a player rage-quitting or some random "communication error"). But as it stands, it doesn't interest me in the slightest. Even so, I guess it would have been a limited online mode, with absolutely no way to chat with your opponents.
And yeah you're right, I forgot the game was panned by critics ! Well deserved, in my opinion. Mario Party was great in its few first installments. Now it just looks like the same old thing over and over again.
I didn't mean "cute" in "handsome", but in apparently innofensive.
Tried Rekorderling cider for the first time a couple of weeks ago, was so tasty.
Love me Some Jameson
Never tried Whiskey with gin before. Whiskey is my favourite spirit, I might have to try it with gin this weekend
mmmmm Baileys god tier drink.
Had some red wine last night, I've become a really big fan of red wine lately.
Bless you guys and your flawless tastes in alcohol

I take you don't like Scotch then, so your tastes are not flawless
edit: I meant Baley!
I tried a single malt once, and apparently a pretty expensive one when I was twenty (I know, pearls before swine and all that) and it was like the worst thing that ever entered or left my mouth. It tasted like smoky diesel or something.

haha I have to agree, I'm no fan of single malt ones, I like blended much, much more.
I think my palate has matured because I can enjoy some single malt now, I even tolerate bourbon which I hated before.
Just don't let senior slump get the best of you
Far too late.
Oh wow just been outed as a drinking newb. Lets be honest you're tempted to try whiskey and gin now

Scotch is awesome. I can only drink it if it's mixed with coke though. So my flawless taste is redeemed
I had an Irish coffee over christmas (coffee + whiskey) and I enjoyed it
shame that coffee on its own is nasty
Well, the Uganda bill was sent back to Parliament... but it's not necessarily good news.

My crush's birthday is tomorrow but he's celebrating it tonight. As you might remember he told me a couple of weeks ago that he wanted me to be there. I found out he'll be hanging out at his pool somewhere and then he's going out. I'm not sure if I'm going to the pool thing (I'm not really ashamed of my body but I'm not sure if I want him/his friends to see it). Maybe I'll hang out and not get in the pool.
I DON'T KNOW!!!!!
I'll probably call him when I leave the office and see what happens. If he really wants me there I'll go, otherwise I think I'll join him at the club.
EDIT: Also there's a chance another old crush will be there, who told me a couple of weeks ago he wanted to
see me before he/I leave the country (he plans to study in Europe in a couple of months or something like that). I'm not sure if he and his boyfriend are still together though.
EDIT 2: CRISIS AVERTED!!!! Called him and he didn't mention the pool thing

What's the best way to drink Bailey's Irish Cream now that it's brought up? I had a bottle over the Christmas period but found it far too sweet for my taste, as if I was drinking milky caramel (probably a bad comparison). I hadn't mixed it with anything, and had it cold, while it was also my first time trying it so I'm unsure if there is an optimal way to drink it or if it simply isn't to my taste. I do very much like red wine however.
I agree. Not so much about "appreciating Mexico" (as I've never been and am unaware about the situation there) but it is odd to see some countries appear to regress (such as Uganda and Russia). This seems to be a small minority (admittedly I'm not well on the subject, but I am under the impression that the number of areas changing positively outweighs the number of areas changing negatively) however, so hopefully it's only a momentary setback and as elsewhere becomes more accepting/reasonable, they too will change their tone.

bailey's is really nice in things like coffee and hot chocolate. there are some cool shots you can make with it though.
i recently used it to make zombie cocktails for my friends. they tasted great, but the bailey's curdles as it enters the shotglass. when you take the shot, the bailey's part slides out of the glass and down your throat like an oddly shaped bunch of gelatin, separate from the other liquids.. the feeling is just as gross as it sounds. it tasted great, but i can't recommend them with the gross way they feel.

Is it...... is it the 50's...?
I've always been under the impression that Putin gives zero actual shits about what he's saying and just does whatever he will to keep power.
The comparisons in Russia's Anti-Homosexual Propaganda to pedophilia are hurtful.
This is Russia you're talking about. American 50s would be an improvement.

Whew, that's some very dirty poetry. I like it!
So Vice finished the gay thing in Russia documentary and now I feel depressed. I still think is important to see it, I'm pissed off there's nothing we can actually do but I don't feel like just leaving it behind.
linkies for watching:

btw it's really awful vice separating their docs in 5 parts for what it seems to be only a way to get extra views, but whatever.
