Thanks, JP, that's really interesting. (reads...) Oh, they actually invented the stereo version. It had existed in mono form for little in-ear speakers, like hearing aids and transistor radios. So what they did was make a <i>backward compatible</i> innovation. Evan, yeah, I know what a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platformer" rel="nofollow">platformer</a> is. It's totally not what those games are that I mentioned. Oh, and how could I have forgotten Super Monkey Ball 2? Particularly with its superfun mini games, Monkey Boxing and Monkey Glider? No shit! Thanks, JP, that’s really interesting.

They just keep hoping 1979 is going to happen again. For what it’s worth (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headphones/), Sony, wth the Walkman, were the first to use the 1/8″ (3.5mm) headphone jack.

Pikmin! Metroid! Mario Kart! And did I say Pikmin enough times? And let I be unclear, it's Pikmin 2 I'm talking about. Pikmin 1 was good, but it lacked the single best thing about games — <i>playing with your friends</i>. But Pikmin 2 is terrible amounts of fun. The handicap system makes it so Jeff and I can actually play on even ground, even though the game belongs to him and Jonny forced him to play it for 22 hours a day for a month while they were, uh, "cohabitating". I think you've confused the Nintendo Game Cube with the Intellivision. Are… you… we…

What?

Pikmin! Metroid! Mario Kart!

And did I say Pikmin enough times?

I can't wait for their next console though. The only think I don’t love about Nintendo thus far has been the lack of quality games except for platformers on the Game Cube.

JOSH. Conversely, Nintendo has just announced that instead of more proprietary memory cards and weird-ass storage like that, <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/features/6146540/index.html" rel="nofollow">their next console will just use USB Mass Storage devices</a>... like flash keychains. Or USB hard drives. Or iPods. SIGH. Nintendo rocks so hard these days. Jeff + Nintendo = TLF Boy, somebody’s not afraid to drop the f-bomb… JOSH.
