Can you even get HD over the air?

Yes, as long as your TV has an ATSC tuner. (Pretty much all HDTVs do. Otherwise they'll be labeled as HDTV monitors.)

I meant for the Wii.

So did I. :)

We have a HDTV in our living room, and the HD channels don't show up right, there are gray bars at the top and bottom of the screen, effectively letterboxing what doesn't need to be. It looks just as muddy as regular definition channels.

For a short period of time, that wasn't the case, the gray bars weren't there, and it looked really nice, because a repairman fixed it a bit, and moved some wires around for the audio to work on the mode that showed HD without the gray bars. Though, one of the cats ran behind the TV and caused the wires to come out, and we have no idea where they go.

Usually there will be a setting in the menu that will let you change it from 4:3 to 16:9, which should get rid of the gray bars.

And if it looks as muddy as regular channels, it sounds like it's connected via composite or s-video.
Just make sure the component or HDMI cables are plugged in, and you should be good to go. (This is assuming you're using cable or satellite. If you're getting your HD over the air, I have no idea why it would be looking bad.)

High-Def Robotnik was from a game on a high-definition system, right?

Yes, In the game he would've been high-def. I was just saying that particular screenshot wasn't, as it is only 749 x 432 pixels.

In elementary school, we had a bunch of old pre-mac Apple computers. They may have been Apple II's. I liked number munchers alot.

And when playing Oregon Trail, several people liked to name the characters after our teachers, so when they died, it would have the teacher's name on the grave.

I had this game called Spiderman Cartoon Maker.  Man I had such great times making cartoons about various things.  I think it was that game that taught me how to come up with plots.

I had that game too. It was pretty cool. I also figured out how to add your own characters and backgrounds to it, which made it even better.

I have no idea why people want HD so much.

Because it looks awesome.

The block of cartoons on the Fox channel was called the Foxbox. 4Kids was never called that.

Uh, Foxbox and 4kidsTV are one and the same.

I wonder why they would care. It's not like they have anything to lose from it.

Meh. I bet you wouldn't be missing much. Since there is no voice communications, it would be like playing against a more slightly clever computer opponent.

You could get a wireless headset thingy, and have Skype running on your PC while you're playing. Unless you're playing against a random person, that is.

Yeah, that seemed totally unnecessary. It's not like you gave the link to the site or something.

what exactaly does "pwning" mean anyway?

Pwn is a slang term that implies domination or humiliation of a rival, used primarily in the Internet gaming culture to taunt an opponent that has just been soundly defeated. Past tense is sometimes spelled pwnt (pronounced with a t sound) or pwned (with the standard d sound). Examples include "pwnage" or "you just got pwned". It can also be used, especially by non-gamers, in the context of getting "pwned" by The Man.

You have to look really hard for them because theyre old. I have one that I found at a Walgreens store for five dollars. Best . Cartoon. A. Kid. My. Age. Could. Ever. See.
Actually I barely noticed it and almost left the store, but i got it. Its called ''Mario's Movie Madness.''

1. Don't waste your money on those. Just get the complete series sets.
2. You just quoted a 2 year old post. lol

I've only played 1, 2 and 5. I liked 1 and 2, but 5 was boring. I also hated how story mode could only be played in single player.

1. It doesn't have 32-bit graphics.
2. The amount of bits doesn't really effect whether the game can be 3d or not.
3. The GBA is a lot weaker than the Saturn.
