And Paris France surrendered without a shot being fired.
They may get it, but for most people, it's in one ear out the other. I would venture to say that way too many people couldn't point to the UK on a map.Quote:

You guys honestly find geography talk more interesting then Hitler, Disney Wars, and the Nintendo Switch? ... Well I can understand the last one, but come on.
Most people under 30 maybe. The education system has gone to crap. One of the sales girls in my office has a college degree, yet she can't even point out Utah on a map. Blows my mind.
Here's my thoughts on switch: 2 games at launch, a long software drought for most of the year......yeah, Nintendo's never done that before.:lol:
^My only hope is that we could see more physical releases of games that would normally get stuck in download-only purgatory.
Interesting, just read an article kind of about this: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...more-expensiveQuote:

A stones throw being 550 miles, and a small mining town being one of our biggest cities. Oh America.
I'm pretty sure Europeans think Texas is full of Cowboys herding cattle:
That's the one thing that I think will be a positive. It would be nice if the game you got didn't require patches on day one to work, because they would be like fool's gold if that was the case.Quote:

A lot of TBA and Japan only RPGs that will need translation for the West. It reminds me very much of the N64's launch.Quote:

You mean Texas isn't actually a huge metropolitan state full of all sorts of different kinds of people and not just stereotypical cowboys?Quote:

I'm a geography teacher so rest assured I know my stuff.Quote:

I merely ask the sole reason why germany conquered the netherlands, not even taking into account the fact that it's army was 20 times as large, which is good enough of a reason to be conquered in itself.Quote:

West Midlands is the equivalent of a US county, Texas is the equivalent of Scotland or Wales (Texas is as big as France).
Maybe something like knowing what and where the Piedmont is would be equivalent. But I wouldn't expect someone not from the region to know, especially not a foreigner.
Provided Arms, Splatoon 2 and MK 8 Deluxe gets released on schedule that will make a fairly solid schedule of releases. Mario releasing for Christmas '17 (if it remains true) will have capped a good year of releases.Quote:

So, you compare a tiny county of 348 square miles to a state that is larger than most countries at 268,597 square miles? :? Some geography teacher you are.Quote:

I guess this is a bad time to mention I failed high school geography once.
QuickSciFi, what country doesn't teach lies?
Sull56, how about a link to that review. Especially since sometimes some of us are on tablets or phones. That and people are more likely to check things out if it's linked.
What are you talking about? I have bigger priorities in real life unlike you. Also, I'm doing my contributing on this site and I'll be happy to keep plugging away at doing reviews for Sega-16, putting up efforts and giving exposure to Game Gear and Genesis games.Quote:

What review are you talking about? If you can't mention the game, don't bother replying.Quote:

Oh yeah and someone find me a NES Classic Edition at retail. Still can't find the damn thing here in Texas.
Retro AVS + Everdrive N8 solves that problem.
I asked an employee from Gamestop yesterday regarding the NES classic Mini. He said Nintendo won't be restocking those anytime soon before the Switch. He added that Nintendo is really concentrating on the switch right now. I don't know how much of it is true, but it's what I got.
I've heard that the NES Classic was nothing more than a promotional tool to create hype for the Switch. Nintendo was supposedly going to stop production in March.
Nah. It was a way to p.o. certain people.
An enhanced version of a 3 year old Mario Kart game isn't what I'd call a solid release. It's good for those that never owned a Wii U though. It's just not a very compelling list.Quote:

Had some time off because I had to do a system rebuild for PS3, because PS3 never stops sucking, not to mention I had to look up how to do a system rebuild again (among other PS3 BS I'll spare you the details of). And I just noticed this video and halfway through it. I think this was the guy Sull was talking about. Anyway, here's a nice juicy video link for you guys;
