I didn't need to read the article to know that last part says Creative's saying "say WHAAA?" I think it's smart to trademark similar names to Wii so no one else can use them and confuse people into thinking it's the real thing. But it won't matter if someone releases a product called "Super Weasel Fun Time Gone Wild". Everyone will be wanting that for the holidays.

Any takers?

Congratulations on your 1000th post, Penguinwizard!

Anyway, below is part of an exchange which took place between two eleventh-graders earlier today:

Girl: "...Well, there's no doubt that you don't listen to rock music."
Guy: "What, you mean because I'm black?"
Girl: "No, it's because you're probably too busy listening to rap music."

'Twas a LOLWUT moment.

Congratulations on your 1000th post, Penguinwizard!

Whoa, didn't even notice. Should I be worried that most of my posts here were in Forum Games? Chalk one up to "boards where I spend more time with the forum games than the actual board topic".

*checks post counts on other forums*

Got a whopping 5,147 posts on MystCommunity. It says I make an average of 1.68 posts per day although I stopped posting there four years ago. Which means if I was still posting at the same rate as I was, my post count would have doubled by now. Most of my posts there were in the "general chat" area. Probably because your post count doesn't increment when you post to the forum games section.

Got 1,283 posts on The Long Patrol, but those were substantially longer posts and I've discussed the heck out of Redwall. Even though I still like to discuss it to death, if anyone's interested.

I mean, I bet I still pale in comparison to a lot of you, and post counts shouldn't matter, but... 1,000. I didn't think I'd be here this long. Woo!

I wouldn't doubt you've posted in Forum Games a lot, but I thought posts from there didn't go towards your "count".

That last one is pretty confusing. Who's supposed to be getting finished?

CrossEyed7 · « **Reply #10371 on:** December 17, 2009, 04:54:08 PM »

And is that a guy or a girl?

Compare the shoulder width to hip width: it's a guy.

The tattoo is very dumb, because neither of the Kombatants are dizzied.

The person who took the picture is obviously dizzy.

I found something interesting.

In Modern Warfare 2, you can have a unique callsign so you can personalize your appearance in the game. Your callsign contains your gamertag, a title, and an emblem. For example:

I was looking through all the emblems you can earn, and I came across this one:

Seems the Infinity Ward guys were thinking of good ol' Mario when coming up with emblems. That "Mario" is supposed to represent Captain Price, a fairly major character in both the Modern Warfare games.

You can unlock this emblem by getting 10 kills in a row without having any killstreaks selected.

Doesn't that emblem border on Earthbound-style copyright infringement?

This may be a shirt soon!

The first two hats are switched and they're missing his Sunshine t-shirt and tropical shirt, but still... Saved.

Not mention the Fire Gloves from Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga are also absent.
