How successful do you think the Wii U will be ?

[TheSonicRetard]

People should stick their noses up at the scumbags who think because someone/you have a cell phone, they have a right to call people at any given time or you have a right to do the same.

Lol wtf reason do you need a cell phone in high school or college, wait until you get home to call someone, if by some super rare chance, It's very important, use a office phone/payphone.

A) Payphones don't exist anymore, AT&T pulled their payphone service like 3 years ago.
B) your solution to a convenient tool is to revert to an old tool with built in deficiencies? All over an imagined problem (people calling at all hours)? The business world generally closes at 5 pm - no one calls past 5 because, guess what, they feel the same way you do. They don't WANT to call you from their home at 7 pm.

I was president of my fraternity in college. LOL if you think people have no business needing to be in constant communication at such a level. Do you know how infuriating it would be to fight traffic to get to a meeting, only to find out it had been cancelled and you weren't able to be informed because "lol use a payphone mirite?"

I'm a structural engineer who is currently an apprentice draftsman - smart phones and tablets do so much more than just send messages and receive calls. My smartphone or tablet means I can bring entire building drawings with me to show to a client without the need to reprint 10-20 24x36 pages at $2.50 a page. My tablet means I can make changes with a CAD app at the building site without having to drive an hour back to the office to reflect a 10 minute change. When I'm doing a change of occupancy, the camera in my smartphone means I can spend a few seconds snapping pictures of the service panel instead of taking a good 10 minutes writing the load down. It means I don't have to deal with keymaps to find obscure jobsite locations, instead relying on GPS. It means not having to lug around an entire library of code material with me to check and occupancy load for an obscure business type. It means being able to video conference from within my car rather than flying out across the state to meet a client. It means I can turn over dozens more jobs per month which translates into several tens of thousands of dollars extra earned each year.

The only people I see actively hating on cell phones are those who can't envision using one beyond vapid and superficial reasons. People who vehemently hate on smartphones and tablets, with such a smug attitude, speak volumes more about whats going on in their life than those who use them daily.

Cool, that is one very helpful thing, Glad to see that it makes your job much more easier! Right now I'm a artist in training, and I kind of hate today technology (I rather draw on paper with a pencil and ink brush) where artist can draw on computer screen and many things in photoshop, right I have to along with saying "If you can't stay away from it, join it instead" as seeing that I want to be very successful artist and I'm only halfway first year of college. I'll rep'd you right now

Sigh so now you don't make skillfully made drafts/blueprints anymore, tsk tsk. I must say, I see that as a bad thing(basically how the movie industry is all CG now, no more quality models being made)?

[GriskaGyoran]

Enough thread derailment with cell phones and all that garbage.

Fact of the matter is the issue is the controller itself. How much is a single controller going to cost. What if you are responsible for being Mr. Funtime where you provide the WiiU and controllers. I can't see the WiiU going anywhere good from my standpoint.

I don't see it costing more then the wii remote+ nunchuck, as that's really the breaking point of controller cost(people wont be willing to pay more).

lmao what the hell is this? CAD has been the industry standard for decades at this point. This is like bitching that someone uses a word processor instead of a typewriter. There is literally no benefit to drafting by hand. Not a single benefit.

Stop talking about subjects you're ignorant of.

[Sly Wolf]

Thesonicretard, you save lives buy just using a phone? COOL (thumbs up) you're a real hero for anybody on that job!

LOL, I guess we really need to stop talking about cell phones! Zoltor here seen to be quite the annoying cell phone destroyer.

It only uses one of the "tablet" controllers. Otherwise it uses Wii controllers.

Well no, I didn't save lives, I potentially prevented fatal accidents. But I don't work there anymore, about a year and a half ago, I inherited my father's architectural firm and I made a drastic career change.

Anyway, enough talk of cell phones from me. I believe I've made my point.

No instead you get a million calls during the day, cell phones should've stayed out of the public hands(It's easily the most annoying invention in the history of the world, and is very damaging to the structure of a society as well), you're bussy during the day, why do people call then, they have no life, that's why.

Yes you DO have a point. Zoltor himself doesn't have a good point, he only get point of a arrow to his knee.

The differance is, it actually takes skill to draft by hand, and is art in its self, were it takes no skill to use a computer for such.


I'm gonna try to stop talking about the POS cell phones now.

Just stop talking about cell phones, only reason why it was annoying because many people is using them wrong way because of their selfish reasons in some ways.

He's NOT trying to be a artist, it's a job for crying out loud!

Edit: he's more like designer (artist who work for jobs), NOT a fine artist (artist who create things for themselves)! Okay? now quit talking and go find a different thread, you're just a guy who is most likely reason to get this thread locked!

[Zoltor]

Yes true, but that hardly changes the fact, that the majority of people with cell phones are using them in such a way.

Yet somehow you're expected to go to a college for such lol.
