To get all anecdotal and shit, there are quite a few socially awkward girls out there.

Being an engineering major, there was no shortage of them when I was in school.  You'd think the socially awkward girls and the socially awkward boys would hook up but there's no way in hell that would happen.  You could tell who they were because they only had three items of discussion: their classes, what internships they were going to get, and what kind of jobs they were going to get.  Most of them didn't have a sense of humor or they'd just repeat 4chan memes ad nauseum.  I remember one girl before my fluid mechanics class just repeating the i can haz cheezburger memes with her porcine friends giggling like it was the funniest thing they ever heard of.

I think most guys don't think there are socially awkward girls out there because we don't pay much attention to them or assume that in spite of their awkwardness, that they have a smorgasbord of male options.  Hell, if EviLore wasn't trying to score with her groupie-style, I doubt I would have even paid attention to her.  I guess that is my problem.

On the internet there never ceases to be a cadre of men who pay attention to all kinds of women. In the physical world, at least where I am, one can be way more picky if they're a social butterfly.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. E3 hype is ramping up, Wii U hypers will keep hyping scraps and rumors while PS360ers will lash out more since they have no new system to look forward to (at E3.) Vita's failing, 3DS is staying the course but only really has folders to its name recently, and iOS continues being hyped as gaming's savior by the technorati.

One big melting pot of hate, name-calling, and fanboy butthurtness.

According to his blog on Japanese social networking site AMEBA, the Swedish teen became interested in Japanese culture when he was introduced to Anime at the age of ten.

First you're watching anime, then you're learning Japanese, then you're getting a gender/nationality realignment. This is where it starts, people! Don't let your kids watch anime! It's already too late for me, but maybe you can save them!!

im happy to be proven wrong, but i do strongly suspect that the zelda tech demo wont actually be representative of the next-gen zelda.

Eh we pretty much know that already, although it does seem very improved in some respects (RAM, specifically.)

At this point anything is an upgrade over Wii. Be prepared for months of GIFs of HD first party games.

You're dreading it?  I can't wait for the meltdowns.  AceBandage might even be an hero once the cold hand of reality pimp slaps him.

i was gonna ask a stupidly obvious question regarding the meltdowns, but there was no point. its the spins i want to see though.

tech demos are generally pretty misleading, but last time i checked i think most zelda tech-demos have undershot the actual game. so the fanboy logic floating around is that it'll happen again, but i'm not so convinced.

I don't see why it's impossible. As everyone here is quick to point out, the Zelda demo "doesn't look any better than your run of the mill 360/PS3 game."

What we know for a fact is that it uses Twilight Princess character models, unchanged, and was running in real-time. So I'm pretty confident an actual game would indeed look better.

Another sign that you've been "Bore-ified" is that you'll be able to laugh at people in your own ranks. If you can't see that these mouth breathers exist i don't know what to say.

You can take what i said to the bank - it'll happen - and it'll likely be AceBandage or Ignitus who posts what i said.

OK then, find me a post of a ninthing hating on Arkham City last year but hyping up the Wii U version. Or even Rayman Origins and doing a 180 for Legends. Go on, I'll wait.

Just like the GAF Hivemind meme I understand lumping everyone together into one gelatonous mass of ninretardation makes things easier and lets you feel good about yourself, but it's a fallacy.

[demi]

I can't believe I even see the words "I wonder if there will be a WiiU version" being posted at all.

You honestly don't do like, a second guess before hitting submit?

I was posting the Zelda GIFs before it was cool became annoying.

You can be highly worried about next gen dev-costs while still appreciating great graphics and a fantastic art style (in the case of Rayman Legends.) They're not mutually exclusive, and especially in the case of Rayman, the budget is probably half a shoestring with the engine already done.

In addition, the dev-cost argument, however much weight you personally assign it, still holds true for Wii U in comparison to the next Sony and Microsoft systems. Besides that, even with those systems a year off Wii U dev-costs (or rather, port costs) are negligible for most HD devs at this point.

[Tasty]

the whole ZOOOOOOOOOOOMG reaction to Rayman was an entire thread of implicit "Last gen : Finally awesome!"

I also really don't get what you're saying here. There were people in the Legends thread that have poo-poo'd Origins?

You seem to be confusing "Wii graphics are good enough for me" with "HD graphics suck and SD is all I want." Obviously that has never been the case.

You can say goalposts are being moved but that's always been the case for consoles. "PS2 is good enough" until this gen, "360 is good enough" even though you can build a far more capable PC, etc.

seriously - someone needs to update the Wollan picture of "next gen" to show Wii U fans crossing the line as well.

And as i say - we'll definitely see it going forward... we've already seen lots of "Concern" posts about how next gen dev costs are going to kill studios and WONT SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE DEV COSTS!!!!

Between worrying about Nintendo's profits and 3rd party dev costs i'm surprised Nthings have time to play all those new Wii games

Yeah but what happens when nextbox or ps4 come out and shit all over wiiu?

Videogame enthusiasts are strange

no we aren't. who cares if they shit on the wiiu. I'd be fine if we didn't go anywhere past this generation except in regards to more ram.

if wiiu can play games in hd, hook up to my hdtv and not look like shit, and step into the 21st century, awesome!

[Takao]

Will Wii U allow people to actually have a username or will those who buy that still be known by 16 digit friend codes?

[Himu]

will wiiu have actually decent online gaming?!

If you want to add me to play Super Smash Bros. my friendship code is 1311-9872-1239-1235 I'm on everyday 7-9PM EST

[Tasty]

They've said there will be an account based system, but from the odd way they worded it, it could just as well be multi-account single-console sign in like a Windows PC or something and not necessarily tied to some kind of easily-managed online account that allows you to transfer content across systems.

I'm 50/50 on it being one or the other.

Just made this. Not as good as Wollans hand drawn take but it'll do...

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I remember this really stupid joke Nintards would make.  This was right around the time Nintendo fans were fully into the mode where success was determined based on how many teenage girls, grandpas, and soccer moms played a particular game.  So a game would sell three million copies and then they'd crow "<game> has officially hit non-game status hnarf hnarf."  Yes, the joke was that after a game sold several million copies, they officially considered it a non-game.  They dropped this once stuff like Wii Play and Wii Sports Resort fell off the charts but it was still fingernails-on-chalkboard annoying.

I also remember Nintards chirping "Well, they should have put <game> on the Wii!" when a developer went tits up.  Yeah, like putting fucking Blur on the Wii would mean the difference between going bust and making record profits.  It seemed pretty vile to me to see people cheer on the death of development studios because they didn't bank their entire future on their particular console of choice.
