Ha ha. I love that line. I remember it! What about, "Holy marathon Batman. I've got a stitch!" and "That poor shark threw itself in the way of that torpedo to save our lives!"
Oh, and I almost forgot. What about, "It's a good thing that matress sale was going on there or our helicopter would have crashed down and killed us!" I can't really remember the last one but it went something like that. Ahhhh well.......those were the days.

Dave... very familar to my post a week ago... along a different viewpoint but similar.. nice post!

Or not. ;0)
Did you ever notice that when the Batmobile broke down... the Batbike would be RIGHT next to where they broke down? And when that broke down, they would be at a pier... and straight into the batboat.
Oh yeah, prime topics.
Buy every console...
Hmmm... but not everyone can afford it...
Which is why I think we need to find the best console for our needs...
So in other words, console wars. You can't get away from it. Yeah, I'm sure it would be lovely if we had everything, but life is about choices, and those we make should be the best ones.
So let's all write topics about why the console WE choose is the best.

Where would we be without the console wars, eh? Yep, it’s that time again so buckle up and get ready for another round of ‘Who will win the next-gen console war?’
The battle now is obviously between the PlayStation2, Xbox and GameCube, with Sega now providing software support. I will highlight the main pros and cons of each console in turn, beginning with the PlayStation2.
The PS2 has the considerable advantage of being released long before the other two. It now has the chance to build up a good user base before the others are even on the market. Although it has made a poor start, with the pre-order fiasco and a lack of quality games, there is better to come. Killer app like Metal Gear Solid 2, Gran Turismo 3 and Final Fantasy 10 (yeah, they’re all sequels) will sell thousands of PS2s, as will new titles like The Getaway, Ico and Devil May Cry and an expected price drop will also be welcome. Also, it will soon have online capabilities.
Next up is the Xbox. Of the three, least is known about Microsoft’s first console, although already the signs are not good. There are fears that it may become too much like a PC (with the Pentium processor, etc), and it is notoriously hard for a non-Japanese console to crack the Japanese market (those Japs like to keep their own economy healthy). Still, we shouldn’t really pass judgement just yet, and it will certainly have strong financial backing from Mr. Gates.
Thirdly, and lastly, we have the GameCube, Nintendo’s 128-bit offering. It’s started off on the right foot with a projected selling price of £199 (and comes with four joypad ports, so no £30 MultiTaps here). Stunning titles like Luigi’s Mansion and Star Fox: Dinosaur Planet have already been unveiled, there will quite probably be games featuring Nintendo’s many other mascots, like Zelda, Donkey Kong and of course those annoying/cute (delete as applicable) Pokemon. And not forgetting Mario of course – Shigeru Miyamoto is rumoured to have been working on ‘100 Marios’ since he finished Mario 64. The only criticism of the GC could be that some still find Nintendo a bit childish.
Any of these three super-consoles could succeed, but there is one other that will almost definitely do well – the GameBoy Advance. It has no real competition in the handheld market, is much cheaper and can be played on the move.

Each console has its own good points and bad points and equally deserves to do well. One thing’s for sure though: the healthy competition will mean that there is one true winner – the consumer. Yes, that’s you!
