I want a list. Not just any list, a comprehensive list of ONLY reasons why the band Nirvana and their music suck. If you have something good to say about Nirvana, please keep your thoughts to yourself.
I'll start.
- They are way too overplayed, I am tired of hearing the same 30 Nirvana songs on the radio, it is time they came out with some new material.
- Kurt Cobain was holding Dave Grohl back.
I was approached on my way into Walmart today by some kid asking for Hurricane Katrina donations. I replied, "Sorry kid, I don't support hurricanes.", and walked inside.
What I should have said was, "Sorry kid, I don't support hurricane RELIEF.", because I don't. In fact I do not support any form of charity. I do not feel bad about not caring about affairs that do not concern me directly, and thus do not donate. I believe my only obligations are to my friends and family
The individual's responsibility is to himself, the government's responsibilty is to the people. If they need me for hurricane relief, the government will MAKE me help out.
This is my GoldenEye homage thread, because we all know that there'll never have been a game worthy to touch the ground where GoldenEye hath trodden! So, let's pull up a few chairs, sip got cocoa, and remember the good old days when GoldenEye was on every TV screen across the country, and Nintendo still had a sizable portion of the industry under its belt!
GoldenEye was the first console game I ever beat, believe it or not.
Favorite Multiplayer Character: For years, I would ONLY play as Bond... more recently, Russian Infantry.
Multiplayer Level: Complex or Stack
Weapon: Phantom
Single Player Level: The Archives!
LEAST Favorite S-Player Level: Easily, Control Center. That's the only level that I could never beat in OO-agent... thus, depriving my of the Egyptian level. All because Natalya had to go on and die one me every time.
Level music: All the music is great, but the theme to The Train Depot is the best.
250,000 puppies homed in the first week. Oh, and Advance Wars is not doing too badly either...
VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY GOES TO THE DOGS – LITERALLY
REDMOND, Wash., Sept. 1, 2005 – With sales of a quarter of a million units in its first week of availability, Nintendogs™ is not only America's hottest-selling video game, but the best-selling new game franchise ever for a portable system.
Retailers already are reporting that Nintendogs, made exclusively for the hand-held Nintendo DS™, has sold out in numerous locations across the country, and Nintendo will deliver more shipments as soon as possible. The three versions of Nintendogs and the DS unit itself consistently rank at the top of Amazon.com's best-selling list of all video game products.
"Nearly 15 percent of all DS owners bought Nintendogs in just a week, a virtually unprecedented adoption rate for any title on an established system," said Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of sales & marketing. "And it's also helping sell new DS hardware. Coupled with a price drop to $129.99, retailers are reporting DS sales up between one and a half and three times previous levels, and last week DS comfortably outsold our portable competitors."
Nintendogs lets owners train and care for lifelike puppies using the DS system's touch screen and microphone. It became a cultural phenomenon in Japan and launched in the United States on Aug. 22.
People who like traditional hard-core video games have plenty to enjoy as well. Retailers also report that the new Advance Wars®: Dual Strike military strategy game for Nintendo DS has become one of Nintendo's top sellers.
The worldwide leader and innovator in the creation of interactive entertainment, Nintendo Co., Ltd., of Kyoto, Japan, manufactures and markets hardware and software for its popular home and portable video game systems. Each year, hundreds of all-new titles for the best-selling Game Boy® Advance SP, Nintendo DS™ and Nintendo GameCube™ systems extend Nintendo’s vast game library and continue the tradition of delivering a rich, diverse mix of quality video games for players of all ages. Since the release of its first home video game system in 1983, Nintendo has sold more than 2 billion video games and more than 353 million hardware units globally, creating enduring industry icons such as Mario™ and Donkey Kong® and launching popular culture franchise phenomena such as Metroid®, Zelda™ and Pokémon®. A wholly owned subsidiary, Nintendo of America Inc., based in Redmond, Wash., serves as headquarters for Nintendo’s operations in the Western Hemisphere.

it down over Coconut Commander's back!*
1. Taco Bell, forever, is #1 amongst fast food. It is not only by far the best tasting, but it's also economical: and for a penny-pinching college student to say that gives it a lot of clout.
2. Burger King... has the best burgers, comparable prices, a superior dollar menu, and all-around better food than McDonalds. Not to mention that its mascot is, by far, the coolest commercial character ever, hands down.
3. KFC: a bit pricey, but sooo good... where else can you get cole slaw, mashed potatoes and fried chicken in under four minutes?
4. Quiznos is the reigning champion of sub shops. Their zombie hamster commercials are hilarious, and while a bit pricey, their grinders are nigh untouchable by the competition.
5. Wendy's has a viable dollar menu, plus baked potatoes, chili, and decent chicken yummies... but mediocre hamburgers and average prices.
6. Subways are a dime a dozen in Massachusetts. Jared Fogle is not only the most annoying spokesman, he's also the gayest... he makes me not want to ever buy Subway again. Beyond that, their modestly-crafted subs run from expensive to ludicrously expensive.
7. McDonalds is just all around poor in quality. Their one boon was that they used to be cheap, but nowadays you can't get a real meal for less than $5 anymore. It's supposed to be FAST and CHEAP! What's the fucking deal, McDonalds!? By the way, their new commercials: GAY. As in (see SUBWAY.)
Remember when video games used to have codes and cheats that could be unlocked by pressing certain button combinations?
Without looking them up, can anyone still remember their codes? What is your favorite?
My favorite is the full power cheat from Gradius III. Pause the game and press Up, Up, Down, Down, L, R, L, R, B, A. Be careful though, it is dangerously similar to the self destruct cheat. Pause the game and press Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start.
i think a poll is order, every month or so i change my avatar and sig, i want to change it something but cant decide so i thought you guys would for me.
