I guess I'm just cheap. I'd rather pay 2 bucks at a used stor than 10 online. Passing is the only thing I can see using the remote for on football. I think everything else will be done using the nun-chuka attachment with the analog stick. I'm thinking the D-pad on the remote will work more like the right side of a PS2 or X-Box controller, where the buttons will speed burst, dive, etc. I'll be looking forward to seeing Smash Bros: Brawl. So many possibilities for an already great series.

Hey, you never know. I don't think it's too out of the question that if they really wanted to, they could find a way to design a single slot that could accept all three types of cartridges. A row of pins wide enough for N64 games and long enough for NES games, something like that. I mean, technology is crazy. Whoever thought we'd be carrying around 2 gigs of memory on a keychain? Thing is, they'd make no money making it so full compatible. The VC will force people to buy old games from them. If it could read all the old cartridges, people would only be buying games from used stores and eBay. Read a review about Madden 07 for the Wii, and they were very impressed with how well it played. Golf, tennis, baseball, even hockey make a lot of sense with the nun-chuka controller, but football was one I thought might not work as well. I'd love to know how it works. Actual throwing motions with the remote maybe?

Hainsey was not traded, he was lost on waivers, and has become a solid player in Columbus. Still can be a 2nd pairing guy if he builds on the season he had last year.

Also, Savard was injured and played very sparingly in the playoffs that year.

Yeah, but that defeats the purpose in my mind. I own probably 20-25 NES games (got rid of half my games a while back because they were wasting room). I'd rather hook up my NES than pay 5-10 bucks each to play them on the Wii. I just think it would have been cool if they'd have found a way to make it 100% backwards compatible. People who loves the NES, SNES, and N64 would be able to put all those systems into storage while being able to play all the games they already own.

I've only followed the thread off and on. When I saw backwards compatible, I thought they meant it would actually be able to load NES, SNES, and N64 cartridges. I figured they came up with a way to stick the cartidges in a slot that fit to each size cartridge and be able to read them. Having to pay for them on the Virtual Console isn't nearly as cool. Still, at $250 and only $50 a game, it is for sure something I will have to look into. With the pricing of the Xbox360 and PS3, I thought I was done with new systems. Wii might just change that. About NCAA Football: I certainly hope EA would make it for Wii. Actually, if EA made NCAA for PC, I probably would never have gotten a PS2 in the first place. It is pretty much the only game I play that isn't also available on PC. I guess Fifa isn't either. I think their new-age controller will make or break the company. If it goes over well, they'll be fine. If it doesn't they could very well turn to producing only games.

I pay $3.50 to see new movies. If it's a movie I want to see, but not at the top of my list, I wait till it gets to the $1.50 2nd run theater. If I want to save 50 cents, I'll go on "Buck Wild Wednesday." Movie, popcorns, 12 oz. beers, all a buck each. I could pay 7 bucks to go to a movie, but I don't go to the "popular" theater run by a huge company making millions off people dumb enough to pay that much when there are at least two theaters within 5 miles of it that cost half that much.

Life's tough. Get a helmet.

The Nintendo Wii seems like the only system around that should really be tried before you buy it. I think some people are going to absolutely hate its innovative controller, while others will love it. Wow, I just read that the Wii is backwards compatible all the way back to the original NES, that is awesome! Given PS3's insane price for the system and its games, it might be time for me to go back to Nintendo. My only worry is that EA Sports won't have NCAA Football for the Wii. They stopped releasing the series for GameCube after the 2005 game, so I'm worried EA has cut ties with Nintendo on that particular title.

15 bucks for a movie and popcorn!?!?! :puke:

I'm not scared.

I'm not validating any of these silly rumors by posting here, but knocking Malkin's weight is silly. He's still just a 20 year old kid. He has a great frame and shouldn't having a problem getting his playing weight up over 200 pounds. He didn't need the weight in Europe, so he didn't try to put it on. Now that he needs it, he'll start eating a lot of carbs and protein while hitting the gym.

Similar thing happened to me when I got my PSOne years ago. Played it for about an hour before the AV cable gave out.

The link is to a place where you download the montage, I believe.

He put up 28 points while getting 13 minutes of ice time.

Smarten up. Stupidity isn't limited to America.

Don't kid yourself. For years Iraq was breaking the rules that the UN kept placing on them, but the UN never did anything about it. We begged them to enforce the rules, but they refused. Thus, we had to go in without them. Wow, a person who actually realizes that. You and I are in the minority there. Still, had the South not rebelled to fight for state's rights, slavery might still exist today. They could have continually threatened to rebell if the North tried to outlaw slavery. Any number of things could have happened. Ending slavery was a direct effect of Federal rights winning over state's rights.

Great, now they let their domain name expire.

If guns never solved anything, then America would just be a huge, western province of Great Britain. Slavery would still be acceptable in the South. All the Jews in Europe would be dead and Naziism would be a way of life. While diplomacy is obviously the first option during conflicts, sometimes war has to happen. Sometimes wars don't solve anything, sometimes they do. Sometimes diplomacy works, sometimes it doesn't. The UN is supposed to combine the two in order to keep peace in the world, and they have failed horribly. They don't enforce their own sanctions. Leadership is often corrupt (i.e. Food for Oil Program). The UN has allowed feuds between member countries take precedence over doing the right thing.

This whole Dumont thing just gives me a bad feeling in my gut.

You though something was an annual grass grown for grain? Hehe, I think you mean something was "awry." Sorry, I couldn't resist, it made me giggle.

My "Join Date" is not accurate. I first joined on March 2nd of 2004. After the site got hacked and we moved to the new forum, my old account would not work, despite sakiqc's efforts. We tried resetting the password 10 times to no avail. Thus, I had to get a new account and he simply ammended my post number to reflect my old account.

That has got to be one of the most illogical things I have ever heard. That's a new one on me, blaming Bush for not liking your local sports teams. Cards beat the Cubs tonight, but the Cubs have done surprisingly well against the Cards this year. Don't know where to look for team slipt-stats, but I know the Cards have a losing record against the Cubs.

I'm Fanpuck33 pretty much everywhere I've ever been online. I didn't know any of your guys real well, but I knew you guys were the elder statesmen of the board. I do recall a lengthy night-time debate about politics I had with you about the time the US invaded Iraq.
