I just thought of something else.  Lindy, did you ever beat Super Mario Galaxy?  There's gotta be a rule against the director of the largest independent Nintendo fan site not being the best Nintendo game to come out this generation.

Probably not, too busy with his Playstation Triple :) ;) .

Actually I heard he is still watching MGS IV's final cutscene and has no time for anything else.
WIN!
Maxi is dead. I killed him and took his posts and changed genders.

Hey guys, remember...

Long cutscenes are RELAXING! The staff needs their R&R after dealing with HD trolls all day. Leave them alone! :(

It's still on the list.  In my defense, I've beaten both Twilight Princess and Metroid Prime 3.

Oh yes, the ending to it is pretty epic. The way Tom Nook dies as he abolishes Tortimer's rule, making you the leader of Animal Crossing its just...wow...

Well I haven't beat it fully. I still have to beat Dark Samus on Hyper Difficulty.

I've been visiting this website since about a month before the GameCube launch, where I remember being so full of anticipation that I constantly refreshed the main page to see if any new GameCube news was poasted. I imagine I'll still be visiting until there's nobody left to run it or Nintendo goes back to making playing cards. Let's hope neither one happen. :)

This site is still bookmarked as Planet GameCube, which shows two things:
1. I'm pretty lazy.
2. I've got a PC that's ancient by PC years.

there's like 51 cards in a deck, they'd never make something that confusing. Congrats Lindy

True. Just imagine what Nintendo must think of a card game like Uno. It's got 108 cards! There's different numbers, colours, and even wild cards! Now that's hardcore!

Congratulations to Lindy. Let me take this time to petition the unbanning of a political prisoner named the Rat.

Yep, that's the kind of trolling I'd expect. There are hardcore board games BTW. Agricola, anyone?

Not good enough!  I will accept no less than 120 stars!

This is your homework for this weekend.  Good luck to you, soldier.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

120? Screw that, he needs to do 241. None of this half ass garbage.

Even better, 120 in Sunshine, now that's a real challenge.

As the "fourth director" will we get to see a regeneration scene (ala Doctor Who) from Windy to Lindy?

Don't forget the Luigi coins.

Congrats Lindy. Now we need to have an online match of Gears or Halo or something. Get a big group of us together.

I think making people do that is considered cruel and unusual punishment.

Replacing Windy with Lindy?  I'm sure someone already accidentally swapped the names in a sentence.

Congratulations Windy... uh I mean Lindy.  Or if Windy is getting more real life time maybe he's the one who should be congratulated. ;)

Four directors but NWR has still never named one that I felt wasn't suitable for the role.  That's a compliment for Lindy but also for the site.  Few sites have managed to maintain a level of quality to keep me tuned in for so long.  Keep up the good work guys!

Congratulations, Lindy, and goodbye.  If history repeats itself, you will soon stop posting on the forums.  ;)

The number 108 pops up a lot in Eastern religions and cultures, so they might see some significance.

Congrats Lindy!  I have faith that someone you will tear down the evil empire of GoNintendo with this new direction for NWR.

That was my attempt at humour, I was just rolling with the poasts. It wasn't my intention to annoy.

Are there any plans for changing the visual approach to the site?
