    G4 - Who's The Hottest Host?

    Who cares? It is a crapfest of a channel. And I don't see what people find attractive about Morgan Webb. Her face is so mannish and she puts on makeup like she's hosting a late night horror show on public access cable.

    So sum it up, was there ANYTHING of interest at the press conferences?

    I think you are putting the cart before the horse. The Wii being popular is a result of the public at large becoming more comfortable with video games in general because they have been around for decades now and are an established part of popular culture. The Wii just happened to be in the...

    N64 vs Playstation

    Nintendo stuck with carts because if you wanted to make a 3rd party game for their system you had to buy the carts from them. This meant that Nintendo made money not just on every game sold for the N64 but also every game MADE for the N64. Same went for the previous systems, hence the lawsuit...

    My first day with a Nintendo 64 (ever!)

    I hooked mine back up a year ago after having it sit unconnected in my entertainment system for several years. It really wasn't a pretty sight. I had this idea to play through several of my games but just couldn't do it. Seeing Shadows of the Empire from a modern perspective is really kind of...

    So sum it up, was there ANYTHING of interest at the press conferences?

    If the thing has become little more than a dust magnet (Like quite a few Wii owners I know) and you don't see anything coming out in the future that interests you, then I see absoultely no problem in people selling it. I do find it insane though that people get actually upset that other...

    Boom Blox sells 60,000 units since release.

    Your original statement was "I find it amazing that EA can't find the funds to advertise a game." They HAVE advertised the game. It has been aired on numerous channels aimed primarily at the family market which this game should have appealed to. You keep spinning your wheels trying to say that...

    Boom Blox sells 60,000 units since release.

    Yeah, well by that logic E.T. should have been one of the biggest selling games of all time. Sorry, but the argument doesn't work.

    Best Computer Part Store

    Pretty much all you really ever need. Built my current rig with parts ordered from them.

    Boom Blox sells 60,000 units since release.

    It was based on a short story he had originallly written with Amazing Stories in mind but other than that, he wasn't really actually involved with any of the games development or even publishing. The wiki seems to support that. So, technically it wasn't really a project of his. Just based on...

    I made a one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater.

    Boom Blox sells 60,000 units since release.

    I simply mentioned two channels that I thought of off the top of my head. I'm watching Batman the Animated Series on Toon Disney and they JUST ran an ad for the game. Because you haven't seen the ads doesn't mean they aren't running them..you're in denial about the amount of money EA spent on...

    Best ergonomic keyboard and mouse?

    I need a new wireless mouse and my keyboard isn't wireless so I'm thinking about buying the Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 4000 combo that comes with keyboard and mouse. Anyone else have one of these? Is the battery life on the mouse long enough to stand up to heavy usage? Here's a pic of it:

    Boom Blox sells 60,000 units since release.

    I watch a lot of Boomerang and Cartoon Network and they have tons of ads for this game. I've also seen them run the commercials during other family oriented programming so to try and pretend that they didn't advertise this game is just plain silly. They ran plenty of print and TV ads and then...
