Wii 2 to be called the "Stream"

[sheath]

Yeah, the upload size limit must be the problem, I'm happy to upload stuff to my own site, but I might as well use my own template if I'm going to do that.

It's interesting to look back at past news and see if it came out to be true or not.

Just curious to why a Christian, and a person who has been on mission trips to Mexico would use terms like "WTF"?

I don't see what being a Christian has to do with cursing. Plenty of Christians curse.

WiiU isn't much better than Wii Stream imo. They both sound ridiculously stupid.

Technically speaking, there's nothing "wrong" with using profane language as long as it doesn't take the Lord's name in vain or is actually cursing (actual cursing, not referring to all vulgarities as cursing.) Read some of Martin Luther's writing sometime, he used vulgarity as a tool to get his point across.

I'd argue that you should use profanity in most situations for entirely different reasons.

Why is this a public discussion? Anyway, Ephesians 5:4 and James 3:6 make it clear that Christians should be very careful about what they say. Also, I find it a fun fact that "taking the Lord's name in vain" has more to do with claiming him while having one's own agenda than it does simply saying one of his names in a nonchalant manner.

As always when talking about biblical law and morality it always comes down to what was in the individual's heart, which is between that one person and God in most cases.

I refuse to install steam on my computer and I will refuse to buy the nintendon't stream if there is only a digital download I hate DRM it makes no sense if you pay for the game you should be able to use it on any computer or system not just the one that I bought the game on. If I need a digital download there is a DRM free website called thepiratebay.

I still prefer the Wii2, or in other words, the Wii-Wii.

EDIT: Well I guess Wii-Wii is a kind of stream, right?

They should just name this thing PeePeeUrineConsole and get this shit over with, we get it Japan! you're into weird shit, we get it.

[Obviously]

The digital age of gaming is coming whether we like it or not. I certainly don't like it either. Still it's just a name and we shouldn't jump to conclusions just yet, even if it does sound pretty damning.

Also I really wonder if Nintendo is just making fun of all of us with the naming of these things.

I was just checking out the PSN store, and they got like full games for download, stuff like Red Dead Redemption and Batman Arkham City,
enormous digital downloads really crept up on me there.

According to this: http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/200...ice-for-a-wii/ naming a video game system after pee related stuff can be deadly:

I can't believe it's been less than two months since last I followed-up on the Wii U and I've, since, lost all my interest on the subject. There is absolutely nothing new the Wii U will be bringing to the table (at least in my eyes). It has a quirky controller (which I think is pretty rad), but that's about it. The world could have kept on going just perfectly with the 360 and the PS3.

To be honest, the one bit of thread that kept my hopes hanging was the notion that, perhaps, they would indeed make the Wii U as they had originally advertised (a console mainly aimed at the core audience). But after E3's lineup, all I saw was the same shovelware/gimmicky bullshit that plagued the 3DS' launch line-up. I've since been less than impressed. I'm sure that, like the GC and the Wii, it'll grant us a handful of proprietary exclusives; but other than that, there's nothing else that warrants the purchase of the system.

On the bright side, though, I may just get me a 360 or a PS3 by then. I know they made a new version of the PS3 I saw just last week at Best Buy (I'm talking about the removal of the "clickity" buttons, which crack easily, and replacing them with regular buttons). Can anybody confirm this? It was a display model.

I think if nintendo truly wanted to break away from the casual market they would not have named the system "wii U". that's just a terrible name for a system, I think the controller looks neat but that's about it. the shovelware shown at e3 for the wii u was quite dissappoining.

what's even more dissappoining is how nintendo of america is basically giving up on the original wii in the us when there are quite a few games released in europe and japan that never got localized here that they could be releasing during the final stretch of the wii's life span.

one decent rpg, a kirby collection and followed up by a bunch of shovel ware being released in the next few months is rather disappointing, it leaves a lot of wii owners thinking "that's it? where's the rest?" I only see 2 more titles beig released for wii this year that are worth buying and that's it.
