Nintendo Gaming / Nintendo on Life Support?

« on: July 14, 2003, 08:23:22 PM »

Interesting opinions, but if any of you guys get the Space channel (Canada only?  I don't know), you will of heard of the conspiracy theory guy.  He makes believable consperacies off the top of his head.
While reading your post made me think, it also reminded me that several companies opinions are actually waning towards Nintendo being the second place company.  Who do they say is first?  Sony.  Supposedly the XBOX has a few big-talkers, and big-spenders, which make us believe the world is going down the XBOX toilet.
By they way - XBOX without x's is just BO.

NWR Feedback / Stop stealing content from other sites ... ?

Well then that may be a problem that PGC could help to stop.  If one man jumps off a cliff, do the rest follow?  They do, and it brings all eternal damnation.
Copying is called plagerism ... in some spelling of the word.  True, what goes on isn't word for word.  But plagerising is stealing ideas, whether or not the sentences are the exact same.

General Gaming / Fight on Goemon! (long story)

« on: July 14, 2003, 08:15:39 PM »

I quite agree!  Once I was at my cousins house - he lived quite a wase from me - and he had borowed a friends N64 system.  Among the games was Goemons Great Adventure.  Possibly the greatest game ever for the system, including OoT and Super Mario.  True, the intense japanese culture and music can be a bit overwhelming, but bringing the series to 3D was ingenious, and the fights as the super robot were truly masterful.  If I could find this game, I would buy it on the spot.

"Cutting and Pasting content from other websites and posting it in our Forums is a BANNABLE offense. It's stealing, whether you give credit to those sites or not. Websites live and breathe on advertising revenue, and when you steal their content, they don't get the hits, so they don't get paid. I've already banned a few repeat offenders, but we will now start banning ANYONE who steals content from other sites, unless you can prove that you had permission. "

I realize I am a new member, however I have been visiting the news page of this site for several months.  I realize this may sound like a smart remark, however I am trying to be totally sincere when I say hypocracy isn't exactly appreciated either.  You see, as I do visit this site at least weekly, I have noticed that all information gathered here is just a compilation of news from other sites.  Occasionally, something original will become available for viewing here, and the reviews at other personal comments are 'home brewed' so to speak, but most 'news' can be found at www.ign.com a few hours before it can be here.  And if not there, another gaming news site.  True, you do often refer to these sites, but you still display all the information and sometimes even quote, without linking to their sites, and thus they are no longer getting the 'hits'.  I know by now I have some enemies among staffers, but I am sincerely trying to point out an error in this forum.
