lol, I remember for some reason why nobody seemed to understand why Wii online was shutting down and I had to point out it was because Gamespy did it and they had been bought out and shut down. Then everyone was all "oh".
Gamespy doing the Wii/DS online was one of those things it seems you only knew if kept your ear to the ground on industry stuff.
They're putting in their yacht preorders as we speakZeni's lawyers
I'm trying to find the article where the Gamespy guys talk about how they struggled to get them up and running, and how Nintendo didn't have anyone that had ever used XBLA or PSN before, so they had no context of what was being said to them or what they needed functionally.
Edit: It wasn't the Gamespy guys, I heard that story on a podcast and it was a ride in of itself... I don't remember which one. But this is the article I was talking about.

I am no lawyer, but i am pretty sure when folks are suing you, you shouldn't admit to doing exactly what they said you did
He's a brilliant idiot.

Thought he could get away with it.
Like the saying when someone is about to do some extremely stupid or dangerous just to look good?
Apparently Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is up on Netflix. It's a fantastic sci-fi comedy show with Elijah Wood.
I thought it was from a new comedian or something. I knew it was a variation of "you might be a redneck"
I hadn't seen it in ages until the Elections. The joke was that Britain was boasting to the U.S about Brexit and fucking up so badly that no one could ever top it, then the U.S says "hold my beer". Trump wins the presidency. A new idiot is crowned.
People kept asking for Nintendo to embrace mobile. Monkey's paw, bro.

I've been watching Celia lately for the past month. Might make a thread about it tonight or I might wait until I finish the whole thing. It's a lot longer than I expected. The last episode almost had me crying. Other than that I've watched The Host, The Killer, Tai Chi Master, Changeling, and Black Snake Moan on there.
I also just discovered tonight that they took off Xena from the service. That upsets me. That was one of two shows I never wanted taken off.

I feel like this could be used for something.
When wypipo show up in a thread discussing blackness and racism and the conversation is about 3 levels too deep in the matrix for them so they just ride on through the thread just like that.
It's not new. If you've ever been around country ass white folks in their 20s (thank you USMC) and you're drinking, hold my beer is bound to be said and something profoundly dumb is about to be done.
I actually have a story of someone saying "hold my beer" and then killing themselves in a motorcycle crash in the barracks parking lot.
Actually, that's pretty much the story.

Oversized Chopper Suits are coming back in style?!
Boy... just waiting on the day Girbauds, Flight Jackets, and XXXXXXL tees comeback and it's a wrap. Gonna be flexing on them from my head down to my shoes,

Folks over in OT are outraged over the treatment of a dog on a movie set, yet I'm reminded that movies about animals do consistently better box office numbers than movies starring all black casts because "white people struggle to relate to black characters", but have no problem relating to a whole different Ass species.
Point is I wish the threads involving unarmed black men getting killed looked like that dog thread.

Look at Big Pimpin' over here
Just messin, that's actually really cool. Angela Davis came to Memphis but that sold out so quickly
Um white folks love dogs why you think people only know Michael Vick as the dog killer and don't talk about how he served time, donates money to organizations meant to help dogs, helps out at shelters, actually got rehabilitated.
The LIST
White Men
Pets(Dogs and cats really)
White Women
Robots
Asian Men
Asian Women
Other minorities that aren't white
Black Men
Black Women
Hispanic/Latino Men
Hispanic/Latino Women
Native Americans because god DAMN are they on the bottom
You could draw some parallels to Contact if you really need to.

The hell they STILL give Michael Vick over that shit fuckin sickens me. Like you said, he served his time and is continually paying back the community.
That's why I was so happy when Atlanta give him a huge ovation despite that weak ass attempt to ban him from appearing at the Georgia Dome a few weeks ago.

Fucking dead 😂😂😂
Nope he had a dog fighting ring and knew about it, Ron Mexico, lalalala I can't hear you say something reasonable
Like it'd be different if Vick didn't do everything he could to do better, but he has. SO has Ray Rice. He and his wife have gone to counseling. He speaks to High school and College athletes telling them not to hit women! But people don't talk about that
That is why i don't put much stock in those awards. They aren't reall for everyone. They are for hollywood to jerk each other off
Not to say i am not happy when a minority wins, because we put in a lot, we should get some of ti back
About a 5. To go higher it would need to be a surprise.
If it wasn't for the fact I have known it would happen since I heard about La La Land, about a 7 or however mad I was when Taylor Swift won album of the year of TPAB
Now if Manchester by The Sea wins any awards over Moonlight...woo buddy

Whatup, y'all
This acquisition turned out to be historically bad in the realm of video games, and Oculus keeps finding a way to make it worse.
I didn't even hear of La la land until yesterday. How was it, and what went wrong with it?

Reggie really said you have to get a damn app on your phone for matchmaking on Switch
Walk me through this because I can't understand the defense force.
So you'd start the game on your switch and select multi player. Then whip your phone out to see whose online, start a party, invite people, connect, launch, and chat.
Then go back to your switch and start playing?
Am I painting an accurate picture?
This is what it seems like, yes.
Which is all kinds of fucked up, even for Nintendo.

It is weird folks are defending the bullshit, not just defending it. But tickling Nintendo's balls for this

A Nintendo employee could come to their house with a bat and beat them for a minute every time they booted up the switch, and dudes would still be out here trying to rationalize it, and say they don't even notice the disturbance.

Was going to post something but I ain't trying to get banned for possible derailment when I'd just be posting a possible similarity
