Re: BBC iPlayer Finally Arrives On The Wii U eShop

freaksloan

This is bullcrap! I am here in the States and I use Unlocater so I can watch BBC and ITV. I would like the option to watch on the Wii U.

I mean I have it on my Wii, Roku, Laptop, PC and my Android tablet. But it is not fair that I can't have it on my Wii U. (sarcasm)

Re: Let's Educate Parents About Mature Titles, Suggests Game-Loving Teacher

Most teachers are MORONS! You know what the easiest degree to get is? It's teaching, you know what major has the lowest act/sat scores? It is teaching. When I lived in New Mexico, graduates with teaching degrees couldn't pass a 7th grade level test to become teachers.

This crap is just the whole Tipper Gore thing all over again. I remember when they held a parents meeting at my school telling parents not to let us listen to Ozzy Osbourne. I listened and I didn't kill myself or bite any bats heads off.

I am the only person responsible for how I raise my kids. I am a gamer and my 12 yr old plays COD, GTA, and Far Cry and it doesn't concern me one bit. My kid is a straight A student and has never been in school and he knows it is just a game and make believe.

These are the same morons that call me a bad parent because my son has his own shotgun, rifle, handgun and bow. His #1 goal in life right now is going to the Air Force Academy and becoming a drone pilot.

Re: Nintendo Reveals the Final Club Nintendo Elite Rewards

Surprise Surprise! Nothing but a bunch of crying babies!

I am VERY HAPPY WITH THE CHOICES!

Nintendo doesn't have to give me crap, Microsoft has never given me anything for free and Sony has never given me anything for free.

I just downloaded Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, The Wonderful 101 and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and it didn't cost me a PENNY!

I will be downloading OutRun 3D, but it does piss me off that we are not getting the same discounts that Europe got for the Sega 3D Classics.

I will pay full price for OutRun and Super Hang-On, if we would of got the same discount as Europe I would of bought all the rest.

Re: Pokémon Bank Subscribers to Receive Final Evolutions of Meganium, Typhlosion and Feraligatr as Free Gifts

I like Pokemon Bank because they only allow one save file on Pokemon games

My kids also play Pokemon, but I am not buying 3 copies of every game. So I play the game first and when I am done I transfer all my Pokemon to the bank and then my kids take turn playing.

When they are done - I transfer my Pokemon back to the game.

So the Pokemon Bank comes in really handy for me.

Re: Editorial: Nintendo's YouTube Creators Program 'Beta' Provides Vital Feedback - It Won't Work

I can't make money off of other people music without giving them a cut and getting their permission.

I can't make money off of the NFL, NBA, MLB or NHL without giving them a cut and getting their permission.

I can't make money off of other peoples movies without giving them a cut and getting their permission.

But when it comes to Nintendo I should be able to make money off their products without giving them a dime and without their permission?

Re: YouTube Stars Aren't Happy With Nintendo's Revenue-Sharing 'Creators Program'

I honestly don't get watching people on UTube play video games.

Call me crazy, I rather use that time playing the games myself.

I am about to ban UTube in my house - I swear that is all my kids do is watch other people play Minecraft on it.

We have two sign-ons for PC w/private server, we have it on PS3, Xbox 360, Kindle Fires, Ipad Mini 2's, Samsung Galaxy S5, Samsung Tab 3 8.0 and Samsung Tab 4 10.1. The only thing we don't have it on is 3DS and Wii U and if it was available we would probably have it on those also.

Re: Sega's Digital Restructure Means 300 Staff Will Be Offered Voluntary Retirement

freaksloan

I took a Voluntary/Mandatory retirement from Citibank 6 years ago. I was one of 35,000 to do so Worldwide. I got the notice the same day they got their government (taxpayer) bail out.

I received a nice payout so I took the retirement to heart (became a stay at home dad) - about three years ago I decided it was time to go back to work, and NOTHING!

Basically, if you are long term unemployed they just throw your resume in the garbage. The only time I get a call is when I lie on my resume and say I am still employed or just was laid off.

Thankfully, I know how to handle my money and have always lived within my means. The bills are still getting paid and nobody is going hungry. My gaming hasn't suffered either.

Re: Reaction: Nintendo Direct Went Crazy With Reveals, and Was Delightful and Confusing in Equal Measure

freaksloan

They should of just scraped the regular 3DS all together and just make the XL (LL) the only model available.

I was given a regular 3DS as a present and after only a week I sold it and bought an XL - I now own two 3DS Xl's and was/is considering buying a 3rd (have 2 kids) - I honestly see no reason right now to buy the new 3DS. I am gonna wait to see what kind of deals come out for the old 3DS XL's or I will buy a refurbished one from Nintendo for $135.

The $200 I has set aside for a another 3DS XL's I spent on buying a new 2nd PS3 500 GB on Amazon for $220. Will be putting it in the kids game room so they don't need to come into my game room and play Minecraft online with their cousins - it is so annoying having to listen to them Worth every penny.
