Whitefleck, I have come to understand the rightful place of all men in this world - groveling at the feet of women. However, your complete virginity and lack of any human contact have taught me a valuable lesson and when the chips are down and I cant look at myself in the morning you make living worth while. Because of you, i can say "Yes I can!"
Wow, while some of those questions are pretty much exactly right, I have to say that half of them are incredibly... um... out of touch? Like, people written by a bunch of stereotypical old people from a "I don't understand the young people!" movie.
I mean, "Because it makes me feel like a rebel"? Seriously? No seriously, seriously!?
Most of them don't even count as "motivation" so much as "excuses". Of the ones that could even be considered "reasons", one is the best and only reason I need, it allows me to do more with my PSP. That's all it comes down to for me, and I would assume most people. Aside from that, they seem to be (since they can't really get away with directly lying about it) trying to "hint" to people that it's not legal (though it totally is, although if you are downloading entire PSP games or something from somewhere then yes, that is very illegal).
So we're d/l VC titles and wishing they were updated for things like wifi multiplayer, Lan, integration with Mii's or the Wii hardware in general (specifically the controller), graphics updates and hey, just like what the Xboys get when they d/l some blast from the past, right? Nintendo decided on a different approach. The VC has the original game in its original state, save for some issue here and there with passwords, coded gamecheats and whatnotings.
Enter WiiWare. In about a month you'll be able to d/l Bomberman WiiMare from Hudson that allows you to use your Mii's, has Wiimote integration, crisp grafix and of course up to 8 player wifi. Also from Hudson is Alien Crush WiiWare, its Alien Crush updated, you might remember it as that weird organic pinball game with aliens.... crushing.... things. I never played it.
So that's the combo, get VC for the original game and if the game sells well enough on VC or there's demand for it, it gets updated with all the goodness and put on WiiWare. This could mean a big change, this could mean that people will more or less stop using the VC channel and switch to the WW channel exclusively just becuase you're getting the better package. Of course, I expect the amount of updated older games to be sparse and no where near the average of 3 a week like VC. Not to mention getting some of those rare or 1P-only games that probably wont make the update list.
News like this makes me think Goldeneye/PD Wifi Updated Holy Shiny Shitmyselfhard Edition EO+ will make a crater soon but you know MS wants it just as bad. PD with the wiimote has the potential to blow ass or kick ass, but ot6her controllers will be optional like always.
Okay, the original Gravis Gamepad was amazing. But while the Gravis Xterminator was pretty cool, it broke (power problems, it just stopped being recognized) after just a year or so after I got it in around 2000.
Anyway, now my Saitek p880 has had the same thing happen to it. Just in the past week or two, it failed... and now it just won't respond most of the time. :( :( It is several years old though, so it did pretty well...
This got me to want to see if the xterminator still worked at all. It doesn't even recognize. Anyway, this got me to want to try to open up my Gravis pad to see inside. Unfortunately, even with all the screws off, it won't open. Obviously sometime inside is glued togehter or something...
So the question is: Do my best to break it apart, and quite likely permanantly destroy it (when it comes apart I bet it will physically break...), or just leave it in its current non-working state, but don't take the thing apart?
