Right, I'm ending this now.
Tell me why the Gamecube is crap.

This argument is really out of order.
Listen have you ever played it and who gives a donkey's mother about the graphics?

Conker is not a decent game, it has kiddy cartoony graphics for a start, and no decency whatsoever. If my cage contains Sony and Dreamcast product, then I'm staying put. I would suggest that should you ever want to visit you are quiet welcome. But you are obviously a Ninty, so you would probably not accept due to the tunnel vision that Nintiness has imposed upon you.

Wrong. The most hated company in the world is actually, Grindle Bearings of Aldershot. This company produced countless number of faulty bearings during both the 80s, 90s and are still producing them today. These bearings are the major fault with most major products today, ranging from the lowly gyroscope up to the mighty space shuttle. But hardly anyone realises this, because hardly anyone has heard of Grindle Bearings, they just think it's gremlins instead. (Or pixies in some cases....)
However, further research shows that Grindle Bearings is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jamaica Offshore Klussriech Encorporated, which in turn is an investment partner in...you guessed it...Nintendo.
Therefore Nintendo are to blame for the most hated company in the world, just slightly edging Microsoft to the topspot.

'Clip Cull' is due for release in the fall 2002, according to developers Stationery Inmotion. Look out for my thrilling review later on next year, and I'll send you a copy to play on your X-Box when you get it, which you undoubtedly will by the time we've finished this thread. :-)

That's just business, and it works. If they steal all the best ideas and produce great games because of it, and release them on the X-Box, then Nintys will loose out, and X-Box gamers (hereinafter referred to as 'Boxys'), will benefit all the more.

Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, Sega and The Sun are all guilty of this crime. Again, it's a marketing tool to sway the masses. Personally, snow boarding is not my kind of game, so I'm not too worried if they blu-tacked a picture of the sun onto an X-Box picture, and then cut out a drawing of a boarder and then sellotaped him on as well. I judge the X-Box by it's specifications and the streaming demos that I have had access to. They are truly awesome, and put its nearest rivals the PS2 and the Gamecube to shame.

Microsoft cannot be both incompetent and a world leading monopoly at the same time. In fact, the two things in the world of business are mutually exclusive. I would suggest that Microsoft are in fact SO successful, that the US Government had to cut the company in half, because the competition just was not worthy. Again, this is a side issue as to how crap the Gamecube is in comparison.
Lets try to stick to the issue first raised rather than spin off on a typical Ninty rant, shall we?

They already have, look at McDonalds, the malls, the multiplex cinemas, the war babies, Greenham Common and the tourist industry. The yanks are already here, whether we like it or not. Japan were here first though, with the Walkman, the Gameboy, the Gamegear, the Megadrive, and the Datsun. If they had had their way, they would have been here in 1944 along with the Germans and Mussolini. The yanks are just trying to catch up.
An American console will be like a welcome breath of fresh air on a hot summer's day. (Compared to the Gamecube, whose analogy on the meteorological front would be a cold icy blast through your pyjama bottoms as you reach into your fridge at 3am in the morning for a Diet Coke.)

Bill Gates would NEVER be involved with any game that misrepresents cute furry animals. Cute furry animals do not make lewd suggestions, swear,or have a sense of humour (this trait is unique to the human species, no other species has a sense of humour, even Nintys don't have one.)
Nor would he produce a game that cost £60 to buy, even if it DID include cute furry animals. Cute furry animals should only be allowed in games if they are to be represented properly, and Nintendo have abused genetic copyright here, and can expect to receive many lawsuits from many cute furry animals in the future.
My own opinion on this is that cute furry animals should be left out of gaming on the whole, precisely because of the abuse that their chariacatures are subjected to and the followthrough on misrepresentation that then results.
They make good gloves, cushion covers, and subjects of experiments where you need to grow an ear on a furry animals back. So they can be put to much better uses than just being the butt of zany Japanese humour on the N64.
What this has to do with the Gamecube argument I have no idea, except for highlighting the exorbitant prices and poor subject matter of the games it may come to play.

RBS, if you want to see my true views on vivisection, see the LIG forum. This is not the thread for serious discussions, believe me.

All right, lets put you in a cage and force feed you dangerous chemicals for the rest of your life.
