Random Gaming Thoughts

But when I bought my second Wii, I was interested in get a specific revision. Not too early, and not too late.

Why is that?

Can't get into COD Advanced Warfare, yet somehow I still get a blast out of playing Operation Wolf.

[BoneSnapDeez]

Well Operation Wolf is simply a better game.

I do prefer Thunderbolt to Wolf though.

I was surprised to learn Wii continues to sell (from VGchartz)

I wonder who is still buying a brand new console, that was dry for the last 2 years of its life time, and its next generation console is 2 years into its lifetime. Especially when there is no shortage of used ones (it sold 100m!) . You can easily find a Wii with a 5-games bundled for $50 on Ebay .

The majority of people are stupid.

I don't think I'd buy a used 7th gen system. They're not incredibly expensive to buy new.

Indeed, i was even considering on replacing my PS3 slim with a super slim just because i like top loaders.

I think is more stupid to buy a 8th gen console new now than a 7th gen. I mean what gen has more games in it?

Thoughts...

- It seems like the default high scores on so many video games are embarrassing low. I played some Capcom arcade games the other week and just by screwing around I was able to set high scores that were 4x higher than the defaults. And I'm not good at video games at all. What gives?

- The fact that I still haven't finished Ys: Memories of Celceta is somewhat embarrassing. Probably won't even get to it until 2015.

Don't want to make a thread on this but I just picked up a Sega cdx. If anyone has one can they give me any advice on taking care of this bad boy. I also heard you need a special ac plug for it? And should I buy a CD lens cleaner for it or will it damage the lens.

It requires higher Amperage than a regular Genesis power brick puts, out, yes.

There's some disturbing implications to the term "Maverick" in the Mega Man X world. The Reploids are fully sapient robots that are basically human, aside from being made of metal instead of meat. They have opinions, think for themselves, and even fall in love. But if they turn against humans in any way, which includes wanting to go their own way and be left alone like Repliforce in X4, then they're considered to be Maverick and are killed. It's actually a bit Orwellian when you start to think about it; the robots suffer from the thought police.

I don't think I'd buy a used 7th gen system. They're not incredibly expensive to buy new.

I don't feel like they are any less reliable than Saturn, Dreamcast, PS2, or oXbox . Of all the CD based consoles, the only reliable one I heard of that lasts a long time is the Gamecube.

Any way, we are talking specifically about the Wii here. It sold 10k units last week only. That is a lot for a console that hardly had any game released for in the past year. Unlike PS3/360 which still get Triple A releases like Destiny and Day Zero.
