With regards to the Nintendo losses, Nintendo is in too deep as their missteps with the 3DS and WiiU have proven to be rather painful. We could talk about what could be considered poor architecture decisions and their failure to pay attention to Sony and Microsoft. We could talk about what could be considered their failure to court third party publishers once again. We could even talk about the perception that many of the franchise releases have been ho hum thus far. The fact of the matter though is that the only absolute that is worth talking about is that they have been losing money for three years now and sales-wise are fairing worse than the Dreamcast. Barring a dramatic reversal, I think Nintendo's days are numbered.

I don't know about you but I am excited for the day when Chacha.com becomes a spam blog with the owner being the sole employee who reaps all the ad revenue

You learn something new every day...

I always thought a slacktivist was someone who was obsessively devoted to the support of the Slackware Linux distribution...
A normality test:
+++ATH
If you are no longer connected to the internet, you need to apply more wax to your modem: it'll make it go faster.
If you find this funny, you're a nerd.
If neither of the above apply, you are normal. Congratulations.

One of my friends in college was a big Slackware guy. He had a giant sticker of the Slackware-guy on his laptop:

Yeah I fucked up and didn't know he had a name. In my defense I did read the wiki on the Church of the Subgenius and all that bo right after I made that post.

I did not feel compelled to edit my post though because that's sort of what makes IndyDDR the magical place that it is.
