| Anyone still whining and griping about the name?
Give this a read. http://blog.wired.com/games/index.blog?entry_id=1467976 It doesn't say Wii is a good name (which it's not  ), but it certainly does explain why Nintendo would go with the name.
Summed up? People on the internet are hating it. Core gamers are hating it. Reality? The internet is not real-life. Core gamers are not the biggest source of revenue for game pubslishers. So feel betrayed, but if Nintendo's notion behind this system is correct, you'll end up playing Wii anyway. |

| Ya know, I'll laugh so hard if Nintendo switches the name back to Revolution at E3.
They'd be getting all of this free press, and then ANOTHER wave of free press, and still maintain a cool name. I don't expect it, but it WOULD be pretty amusing. |

| Dude, you think WiiNES is bad?
Haven't you heard of NESticle? Seriously, that's the name of an NES emulator. Does it make the emulator any less good? Nope.
Anyway, I find this amusing. I just told one of my friends about it. She hardly ever plays games, but when I told her the name she said, "Wow, that's really cool and different! People need to be more open-minded. I like it." And when she saw the logo, she said, "Oh, hey the 'i''s look like little people! I get it!" Just an interesting muse there. There's something all of us core gamers need to keep in mind. Casual gamers don't CARE about names of products as much as wii do. Look at the iPod for example. Do people give a crap that iPod has nothing to do with music and sounds like a freakish device? Do people care that PlayStation sounds like a place 6 year-olds go for edutainment? Nintendo hasn't registered 'Wii' yet? Hm...in the immortal words of Bloo, "Suuuuspiiiiiciouuuussss." |

| I used to love tomboys, but...now I only like them as friends and never get crushes on them.
Don't know why. Maybe because I got rejected by the biggest tomboy in our high school class. Or maybe because I've realized just how metro-sexual I am and a tomboy wouldn't really dig that. |

| Anya mentioned it will be 'below $400'.
That's the only official word we've gotten from Nintendo. $200 or $100 is, in fact, below $400. 
Anyway, if you haven't read this article, give it a read: http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3150107&did=1 It really does make some more sense, now. Think about it: where is Nintendo making their money? Japan. Duh. The English-speaking countries have put Nintendo in 3rd place in favor of 'cool' systems, while Nintendo is thriving in Japan. So they could either have a name that's stupid to Japanese, or a name that's stupid to Americans. And since the Japanese are the ones eating their games up, wouldn't it make sense for them to have a more appealing name to the Japanese. I get annoyed when I hear gamers talk about about Nintendo is alienating us--we alienated THEM in favor of Sony and Microsoft. Sony is doing well in America and Japan, and Microsoft is basically eating up in America what Sony isn't, so it only makes sense for Nintendo to concentrate their efforts in Japan, where they're dominating the competition. And people here in America who want to experience the Wii are gonna buy it ANYWAY, regardless of its name, and the Japanese don't have to struggle trying to say 'Lehvorushun-nu.' Or whatever. |

| Based on my experience, girls as a whole don't seem to like nervousness--it makes them feel more uncomfortable.
But that's just based on my experience. |

| Of course not.
"I love you" and "I like you" ae FAR from the same thing. Here's one way to know--they tell you. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I'm all into the whole, 'talk so there's no confusion' thing. It really works, at least, when you're dealing with two mature people. I wouldn't listen to teasing/poking fun at your expense thing. Maybe not even the 'going out of their way to do something nice' thing, either. But maybe I'm weird in that I'll do things just as nice and out of my way for friends as I will for a girl I like, although yes, more so for a girl I like when opportunity arises, I suppose. But seriously, TALK about it. That doesn't mean ask them if they love you, ask them if they LIKE you in that way. If you're both mature about it (and honest) you can work it out. And if you both can't be mature and honest, you're probably not ready for a serious relationship, anyway. -- "signals are always mixed and interpretation is not always correct. what you think may suggest interest could just be your imagination... although, maybe if the guy is willing to walk you home, go out of his way to talk to you, take the long way to class because he is talking to you...probably that suggests something." -- Not necessarily. Some guys, like myself, do those things for friends in general. I did those things for a girl I liked, but ALSO for my friends, but because she didn't know, she thought I ONLY did it for her, which I didn't, and it made her catch on that I liked her when it shouldn't have because it's just something I do. I still do those things, and I still like her, but she doesn't like me (or doesn't want to, at least) so it doesn't matter, because we talked about it. If something's meant to happen, it'll happen. Talking is the best answer, as it avoids all misinterpretation--assuming both parties are honest and mature, which isn't always the case. (edited by D3stiny_Sm4sher on 05-04-06 03:58 AM) |

| I'm not entirely interested in marrying someone (or dating someone) for sex, but I do really want to have children.
What would I do? I'd adopt. It would be really cool to, like,m marry an Asian woman, and adopt, like, an African/Asian/Latino kids, or something. But I'm all into the cross-cultural thing. Too bad people from other cultures often have beliefs so weird that I can't seem to work it out with them. 
Like, "I have a policy to not ever spend time alone with boys." Right. Because obviously, all boys are evil, or something.  |

| Well, first off...
Why are you and Elmo the only people on top now, despite that this is now the 'Femine's Corner?' Anyway, on to my actual question... I have this friend in college--she's a year ahead of me. We've known each other for almost a year now. However, we've only ever touched each other twice: when we first met, she shook hands, and when I said good-bye to her for the summer, I gave her a good-bye hug, but she seemed to hate it.  ;
Our relationship is very strange because she acts nice and kind, and everything, but somehow, she always seems nervous when we hang out. She's a kind, sweet, caring person, but for whatever reason, she's not herself around me. She treats me differently than the rest of her friends. She tells them how she wants to see them, how much she misses them, she laughs at their jokes... But whenever I do any of those things for her, she doesn't respond. She does adorable and sweet things and when I do them back to her, she completely ignores it. I found out that she's been talking about me to her friends from home (Taiwan), where all she's had to say about me are bad things... She's called me 'pitiful,' 'lonely,' 'socially awkward,' 'strange'... And instead of referring to me by my NAME or even a title like, "My friend," she only called me the equivilant of 'strange/suspicious schoolmate.' She's said a lot of things about me to her friends at home that part of me is angry at her about. She makes me feel unappreciated, etc. But she's a good person--why would she act differently toward me? Sure, we've only known each other a year, but a year is a long time. I'm sure she was MUCH closer with her friends a year after she knew them than with me. To be honest, it feels like she's trying to force herself to be my friend, but she doesn't really want to. What should I do? I want to tell her that I'm not an idiot and can tell that she doesn't necessarily mean some of the things she says to me, etc. I can't just 'let go' and stop being her friend, though. I don't know, any ideas? |

There used to be four of them at some point, I know there did...Hm... Oh, well, we need Grey to answer our questions before we can launch more. |

| LOL.
Well, now that YOU have one, too, I'm gonna ask you the question I asked Grey about my friend. If you'd rather I post it here, fine, but I won't waste space unless you want me to. |

| What games do you love to play on your Nintendo DS (assuming you have one).
And if you don't have one, WHY NOT? [Oh, and thanks. Yea, it really feels like she patronizes me, I really don't like it, but it's also that she's just not being herself around me. I do intend to tell her how she's been making me feel, it's all a matter of how--as much as I want to just drill her with all the stupid things she's done, I shouldn't--and when. The reason why I can't just ignore her is because a.) I'm not like that, and b.) she's a good person, I see how she acts around everyone else, like HERSELF, and I know if she would just act like herself around ME things would be great.] (edited by D3stiny_Sm4sher on 07-14-06 07:34 PM) (edited by D3stiny_Sm4sher on 07-14-06 07:35 PM) |

| Thanks, Danielle.
Although, honestly, I spend a lot more time socializing than SHE does. She's a music major, meaning she has little to no time for socializing. Fake...That's what it is, she FEELS fake when she's with me, I just KNOW she's not being herself. In high school, when she found out a boy liked her, she would purposely not be herself around him, purposely not be as friendly, avoid them, etc., because she didn't want to hurt their feelings. I don't see how the HELL that makes any sense--yea, completely ignoring someone, breaking up a friendship, that will OBVIOUSLY make me feel better.
At this point, I don't care if that type of relationship isn't going to happen, I understand, yea, if she doesn't like me, it's all right, I'll get over it. But a lost friendship is a LOT different. I'm not going to be able to talk with her for another month or so. She'll get back from taiwan about a month from now, and I'll try and get some time to talk with her before classes start--once classes start, it'll be really hard, because she gets real busy. Don't worry, I'll definitely tell you how it goes. |

| I AM honest with myself.
And she's just as 'socially awkward' as I am. And she probably could tell I liked her before, but she KNOWS I'm not going to act on those feelings, and it's ridiculous for her to conclude that I'm 'suspicious' JUST because I like her. And if she doesn't want to hurt my feelings, why is she PURPOSEFULLY not acting like herself and trying to dismanyle our friendship? How the hell is that supposed to not hurt my feelings? And how is patronizing me supposed to not hurt my feelings? 'Keeping me around?' If that's really the way she views it, that might be a problem. Friends don't 'keep me around.' Friendship is a mutual thing, not an 'I own you, I guess I'll let you stay' thing. The only reason I'm asking for 'more drama' is because the 'drama' hasn't been taken care of. I don't want more, I want to get rid of what's there, and it doesn't work when she acts so weird and doesn't treat me fairly. And what is she 'maybe right' about? You're not really clear about what you meant.
Anyway, I'm not letting my feelings for her disrupt our friendship because I value our friendship! If she DOESN'T value our friendship, then she will let feelings like that get in the way. The whole point of me talking to her is to find out if she actually GIVES a crap, because real friendships aren't apathetic. Those are acquaintances. If all I am to her is an acquaintance, I want to know so that I'm not spending time building a friendship that doesn't EXIST on her end. (edited by D3stiny_Sm4sher on 07-15-06 01:21 PM) |

| Yea, I get that, what I'm saying is, if I'm socially awkward, she qualifies as being socially awkward, too.
And yea, I know girls tend to be like that. And I'm not trying to climb some ladder of hierarchy to be her boyfriend, I just want us to be actual FRIENDS, period. If it goes to something more, that's great, if it doesn't, that's great, too, I just want it to be STABLE and meaningful instead of confusing and pointless. I give her the time of day because she's a good person and a good friend--just not a good friend toward ME. And when I see her being HERSELF, I realize that we could get along great. And on the RARE ocassion she actually acts like herself around me, it's amazing, and a friendship with that person is worth it to me. And by the way, women don't really 'got game' like you think. Yea, she could tell I liked her, but guess what? EVERY girl I've made friends with this year has thought, at some point, that I liked them. And most of them would be wrong. I'm not saying they can't tell, but they do seem to be so preoccupied that they put those assumptions first, when they shouldn't be. I've lost potential friendships because girls automatically assumed I was 'interested' in them when I wasn't at all. Ironically, all of those are friends with this girl I'm having issues with. That's not 'game', that's blind assumptions. |

| Hey, I was wondering...
Now that I have a plan here... How should I go about asking her to talk with me about the matter after shje gets back from Taiwan? And what if she declines? She seems to have a habit of avoiding spending time alone with me, no matter how innocent it is. I've never done anything to give her reason that I'm 'suspicious,' yet, a year later, she still seems to think that I am. What's a guy gotta do to disprove such notions? Oh, and get this... She's 20, right? Her mom still tells her when to go to bed, scolds her about doing homework when college is in, and when she gets home at the end of her day, her mom doesn't let her get online because she's already had "enough social time for the day."
Maybe her odd, over-controlling mother has a little something to do with how weird she acts... Or maybe it's the her being Taiwanese in general. But that's a narrow-minded way of looking at it. |
