Topic: You will be Wiiing in less than 100 days. (A pre-countdown topic)

[JonLeung]

August 8, 2006
86 days until Nov. 2, 2006 (a possible launch date, says IGN)
96 days until Nov. 12, 2006 (a possible launch date, says IGN)
100 days until Nov. 16, 2006 (the last day before the PS3 launch)
101 days until Nov. 17, 2006 (PS3 launch day)
107 days until Nov. 23, 2006 (Thanksgiving (US))
139 days until Dec. 25, 2006 (Christmas)
145 days until Dec. 31, 2006 (New Year's Eve)

As you can see, there are 100 days (or less) left until you Wii!  Well, assuming that Nintendo holds to their insistence that they'll launch before the PS3.  I really don't think they'll launch the day before...but the point is, it's now got to be a two-digit number of days remaining!  (Unless they launch this week or next - which is, of course, extremely unlikely.)

If you're not getting one until Christmas, then you'll have to wait 139 days regardless.  (Unless, of course, Nintendo pulls a fast one on us, but keeps their promise of 2006, in which case you may not play with your Wii for 145 days.  Unlikely, but I put that date there anyway.)

(I call this a pre-countdown topic, no sense making a countdown topic until an official date is revealed.  And someone more worthy should make the "real" countdown topic.)

((Man, can you believe it's been five years since we were counting down to the GameCube?  I remember PGC having animated .GIFs on their front page of a Harry Knowles-like guy (unless my memory is screwed up) doing different dances on the last 20 days counting down to the GameCube, until he was arrested for dancing in his underwear (like Cameron Diaz did in Charlie's Angels).  Good times.)  (I like parentheses.))

(Do you have these amimated .GIFs you speak (type) of?)

[JonLeung]

I don't have them.

Maybe the PGC staffers who have been around since five years ago might have them still?

PGC had good comics then, too, one of which was also tied into the whole arrest thing, with that guy singing "Do The Mario" while in prison...and there was one about causing Eternal Darkness's Insanity Effects using a Pentax camera for the flashes, and kicking Ken Kutaragi in the nuts.  Funny stuff.  Again, hard to believe that was about half a decade ago.

Why didn't they continue the comics?  Did they lose their artist?

Ugh... another thread where someone assumes that no matter what it will be out before ps3...

it's such a silly assumption.

Also, I hate to do this, but we already have so many launch date discussions.  Please use Windy's thread.
