Once again this is absolute tard, Violent individuals are caused by mental rage and insanity not because they saw a violent tv show or video game.
Millions of people go and see horror films and action movies and millions more play GTA3 , But why arnt thousands if not millions of those players going out reinacting what they see? Isnt odd that the crime rate is also going down?
They said the same shit about comic books years ago , Infact the violent imagery in comics has gone up yet nobody cares since it isnt popular.
Kids that are agressive and rebelious is because they lack a good relationship with their parents.
As for obesity well there isnt much difference then having them watch tv , They complain that these kids sit around eating chips and junk yet who is buying it for them?Yes their parents who need shut up and sit down and talk with their kids about diet and physical activity, It seems that many dont even make the effort to attempt it they just blaim it on somthing as a scape goat.
I myself have put on weight but I blaim it on the cold winter and the high cost of going too a gym. Despite that I try to walk atleast 15 minutes a day outside.
Now you get to see the man behind the posts. I took a bunch of pictures from the Illinois/Northwestern game I went to this past weekend. I wanted to chronicle the entire day, but my camera battery ran out after the game. Pretty stupid of me to leave the power cord for it at home. I'm hoping to eventually find the time to set-up my own webpage, but for now it's hosted on my dad's webspace.
Quote:In an interesting turn of events, Nintendo of America today stated that its reservoir of GameCube consoles has nearly run dry. Nintendo news hounds may remember a time when Nintendo discontinued their console’s production in order to clear a backlog of unsold systems. It seems last year’s price cut certainly did the trick! NOA is now looking to acquire more units from international waters.
Store shelves are just running very dry," Nintendo spokeswoman Perrin Kaplan told Reuters. "I'd say about 50 percent of our stores are out."
Perrin assured Reuters that Nintendo has brought its manufacturing plant in Japan to full capacity to meet the demand in North America.
Well hot damn! Looks like people are finally starting to see the Nintendo Difference...well, probably more like the Price Difference :). Still, good to see the system is selling.
Quote:This morning, Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar confirmed both the name and the date of next Grand Theft Auto game. "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" is currently in development, and is scheduled for an October 19 release in North America and October 19 reelase in Europe.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will be exclusive to the PlayStation 2 for a limited time. The period of exclusivity has not yet been announced.
"In the past couple of years, we have put an enormous amount of pressure on ourselves to ensure we do everything possible to exceed people's expectations with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas," stated Sam Houser, President of Rockstar Games. "Even though we still have eight months to go, we are starting to become very proud of what we have achieved and we can't wait to get the game into players' hands."
Leslie Benzies, President of Rockstar North, stated, "We are extremely humbled by the success of the Grand Theft Auto series and it has made us push ourselves further than ever to create a title in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that will hopefully redefine the Grand Theft Auto series and revolutionize open-ended gameplay and video game production values."
Yay, GTA in a San Francisco-like city! That's so cool! Now all they have to do is make GTA: Hong Kong and GTA: Tokyo and I... I would be very happy!
This is the first time that I've really watched the oscars very much, mainly because I want to see how many times Return of the King wins an Oscar [it's 3 so far]. Anyway, Billy Crystal is a hilarious host and it's really fun to watch all of the things that go one during the Oscars. I especially liked the intro which had Billy Crystal playing different parts in a bunch of movies that came out this year.
There was one part of the intro that was just so hilarious I had to mention it.
The scene: Billy Crystal is in Return of Kings and he's fighting against the giant elephants. Michael Moore pops in.
Michael Moore: Shame on you, Mr. Crystal! This is the wizard's war not your war! It's a war that is not sanctioned by Congress!! *is squashed by a giant elephant*
Quote:The Japanese website GC-Inside points out something that you might find interesting. Forbes new list of billionares for 2004 is out and Yamauchi ranks at 377 with 1.5 billion dollars. He's still swimming in money despite his decline from 162nd place a few years ago. Even though he is no longer at the head of Nintendo, he works as an advisor and has funded some game developers of Nintendo machines with his personal money. If Nintendo ever were in serious financial trouble he'd probably help out.
