^^^I remember seeing a variation on that joke but meant against the 360.
My thoughts were "so what, do you moonwalk away from it?".
Well that's the thing, the person who originally said that meant it as an insult, apparently not realizing that if you turned 360o and walked, you'd be walking toward it.

I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
I haven't really been following it, admittedly; the launch titles I know of don't really interest me, even though I like Nintendo...if anything I want Paper Mario: Sticker Star, a 3DS game
Just off the top of my head, it has what is possibly the worst controller I've yet seen in the current console generation, it doesn't really seem to have too many games, or at least any I'd be interested in buying, but really the big thing is, it just seems like such a shameless cash-grab.
Most of the important differences between the Wii and the Wii U are things that have nothing to do with the games themselves at all. It's all this social networking bullshit.
Will it sell? Absolutely, it's Nintendo, and Nintendo has the same thing Apple has, a fanbase that will literally buy any fucking thing they put out. On top of that, they also rake in a very wide casual audience of people who are only buying it for (for example) their children.
Frankly, I think there is no noticeable improvement from the Wii to the Wii U, the reason neither Microsoft nor Sony have put out a new console is because they don't need to--neither did Nintendo--the current systems can keep up with gaming technology that's coming out now just fine. There is no reason for the Wii U to exist at all, and it pisses me off that people snap the thing up like it's ambrosia.
If Nintendo really wanted to move away from the motion control format, they should've just released a peripheral, which would've made them mountains of cash anyway.
and in case anyone thinks I'm just some sort of Nintendo hater in general, I don't really mind the 3DS, even if from what I've heard it doesn't use the 3D aspect very well.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
Argh, I have a really bad headache. :|
I took some painkillers. Hopefully, they'll start working soon.

No; it and most of their other old intellectual properties were sold to Turner Broadcasting in 1986 (the studio itself was included in this sale, but it was sold back to Kirk Kerkorian after only 74 days with Turner keeping all of MGM's back catalog and portions of that of their sibling United Artists; United Artists was sold back immediately). It's owned by Time Warner now.

rant over.
I find that calling any game system a "shameless cash-grab" is rarely accurate.
(one of the things that isn't included in Turner's library is the original Flipper series, which Turner sold to the Samuel Goldwyn Company in the '90s. SGC was bought by Orion, which was bought by MGM)

Anonus: They can be, yes. The reality show drama parts are dumb, but I usually try to ignore them.
I haven't really seen anything else on the History Channel's current lineup. I wonder if they still become the Hell Channel every other Sunday.
it stopped being The Hitlery Channel for a few years, and therein was the golden age, with shows like Digging For The Truth and Engineering an Empire, which were both genuinely fascinating and had charismatic hosts who presented the material in an interesting way.
then
then the Da Vinci Code craze hit, and it became all conspiracy shows all the time (Ancient Aliens is probably the most infamous of these, being the origin of the Aliens Guy image macro. Erich von Daniken is an asshole by the way, I threw away three years of my life believing his bullshit.)
Nowadays it's....well stuff like Pawn Stars, which is sort of history, but it's also very much a reality TV show, and there's not a lot of actual interesting, large-scale history behind it.
I have always wondered what happened to Josh Bernstein, he briefly had a show on Discovery after Digging For The Truth got canceled and I ain't heard of the guy since.
I like to think Clarence, being a coffee cup and all, would probably get all steamy and hot if you got him mad, like how Todd did in this comic-thingy I'm making, I guess. I couldn't really resist the "steamy/coffee" pun.
Also, it's kinda funny to see how even though he looks a heck of a lot different (and better) than he did the first time I drew him, he's still fairly recognizable as being the same.
Also also I messed up his left (right?) leg. Whoops. :P

Bio. spun off from A&E, not History, I think.
I thought A&E spun off from Nick (ARTS was ABC and Hearst's arts channel, and The Entertainment Channel was NBC's entertainment channel, and they merged into A&E)...Nick at Nite was meant to replace A&E when it became a full channel.

WHEN WILL THIS MADNESS END
dohohohoho.
I could talk all day about why I don't like the Wii U, but do you really want me to?Well that's the thing, the person who originally said that meant it as an insult, apparently not realizing that if you turned 360o and walked, you'd be walking toward it.

It's amazing to me that this song is almost three years old.
(also it features one of our many HH mascots at her best)
Me, I'm still stuck in the Super Mario World era
Obviously.
Also, does anyone remember when the History Channel used to show good shows? :|
oh man, you are far, far too late for that.

the History Channel, everybody.
that retro stuff.
so I get that Teach The Controversy shirts are supposed to make fun of creationism
but I'm having a hard time understanding what some of these are actually parodying in particular.
??? ??? ???
