Yeah, screw everything else. What is that Zelda game? It looks fucking incredible, and no mention of it at all. That fucking better be a WiiU zelda game they have in development and not just a tech demo.
Also, I love the idea of being able to see no HUD on the TV whatsoever, and having all that stuff on the controller. You still get all that info, but the game can still have that really cinematic experience without the HUD.

I'm fine with the Wii U. I'll buy one. I never play my Wii except when first party nintendo games come out. The good thing about this new console is that it seems like, at the absolute minimum, it'll be a console which allows traditional gameplay that is powerful enough to match the competition. Third party developers will have no reason not to put their 360/PS3 games on the Wii U as well, so it seems like there will be plenty of 3rd party games. Hopefully every now and then one of those games will use the new features in an interesting way.
That being said, if the online functionality is as shitty as it has been on Nintendo's other consoles, that'll be a real problem.

You know I've been one of the few on here who HAS been doing the research. I have been following what has been happening closely and I have ALWAYS so far been willing to give the benefit of the doubt to the US government. But alas it is the government that has been messing us around.
You do realize that the official story has been changed 3 times already don't you. And at every juncture of the change I've been told to 'Take the Governments word for it'. Which is incredibly naive.
You stated the government didn't have live feed. Guess what, the government told us after the initial Obama speech that THEY DID HAVE LIVE FEED. Now the head of the CIA Leon Panetta says there was a total blackout for 25 minutes during the operation. So someone was telling fibs... oops. But I gave them the benefit of the doubt.
They've had almost 5 days to get the story straight and yet the official story is still not straightened out. Was Osama executed during or after the raid, conflicting reports? No one knows. Who's the woman? Was she used as a shield? We were told it's his wife and he used her as a shield, but again they fucked up and said no she wasn't and no shield was there.
Osama was meant to be shooting back initially as told by the always right US government. But alas they went and changed the story and told us he not only didn't shoot back, he wasn't even armed. So again who am I to believe?
We then come to dubious claims about respecting Islamic burial rites. They had to bury Osama's body within 24 hours, this law by and large doesn't exist in Islam, it's non-binding. And on top of that they dump the body in the sea, which is anti-Islamic anyway, makes a mockery of them respecting any laws to begin with. But again I waited for the government to clarify this position.
I was told by Obama that the US thanked Pakistan for its support in all of this. But Leon Pannetta, the head of the CIA stated there was no Pakistani involvement and they were kept in the dark. Later reports stated that Pakistan had been informed. Exactly who am I to believe? No seriously what am I supposed to believe? Obama or Leon Pannetta?
People keep telling me, like I'm supposed to be some naive idiot to just 'believe' the government. But even if I did just believe, what exactly am I supposed to believe??? There isn't a straight story to believe? If I believed everything the US government has so far said I'd be contradicting myself.
Before mouthing off and telling me to get my 'facts' straight, you should send your post to the White House and tell them to get their facts straight and once they do, tell them to send me a copy of the facts as well, I'd very much like to know.
P.S. Also I'd just like to point out I have NEVER claimed Osama was alive or in fact EVER refuted he was dead. It bothers me not one iota whether Osama is alive, dead, or making sweet butt love to Bush at his ranch as we speak. All I ever wanted was the truth of what happened. Nothing more. I just want to know what went on.

" He is definitely dead. They would not do any of this if they were not certain that was the case one way or another. However, the evidence for him dying how and when they claim he died so far amounts to "Trust us". Sorry, but Nixon (Watergate), Clinton (Lewinsky), Bush (WMD) already burned through any weight carried by the word of US administrations. Recent US Presidents have not shown themselves to be above lying when it was convenient for them to do so. There's a slam dunk re-election riding on Obama portraying himself as the Slayer of America's Enemies, so there is plenty of plausible motivation for shenanigans.That's just false. If you really think this photo could prove his death any more than has already been proven, then you just don't have enough of the facts.
I think it's likely they're telling it straight(ish), but if you're going to hastily dispose of the body where it can never be found, and then refuse to release any evidence at all (for very tenuous reasons), then nobody should be surprised that some people aren't prepared to just take them at their word.

I think this is bullshit. I think people just need to man the fuck up. Using real names was a great idea. It would make people more accountable and help cut down on the bullshit. Anyone who scared by this needs to grow up. So what if people know you play Warcraft? Grow a pair and stop hiding who you are. it's 2010. And how could anyone be afraid that some asshole you piss off is going to come find you or something? Thats the sort of thing people threaten to do under cover of anonymity, and don't do when everyone knows who they are. There's some crazy people out there, sure, but just don't post personal information and lock your fucking doors. The chances of anything bad happening are pretty slim. Americans like to convince themselves that they're in constant danger from robbers and terrorists and crazy people even when they aren't. This is just more of that shit.
I'm completely over people looking down on gamers or seeing games as toys, etc. Gaming has been mainstream entertainment for a long time now. Anyone who hasn't caught on yet is just stupid. But if you're still looking for a way to further legitimize gaming, isn't this it? Shouldn't gamers prove that they're ready to grow up, stop hiding behind fake names, and co-exist peacefully on the internet? We could debate on whether or not this is the best way to do it, but I think it's ridiculous to think that something like this could never happen in gaming.
