I still think it's going to be November 19th.

None of those are correct. You, and I'm talking to you directly, will be playing the Nintendo W¡¡™, sometime between thoses dates, this year. Unless of course you are incapable of such i.e: sick, broke, in school, grouned etc...

I say 12th.

Pale, if the Wii comes out earlier than you predict, will you still pick one up no earlier than the 19th because you're that adamant about it?  :P

Huh?  What would you change it to?

I want a cool title.  Maybe something like "unlike a mad woman's breakfast around the TV" or something.

GO Nov. 12th!  We should set up one of those gambling thingies.  A pool or whatever.  Yeah.

Oh - I was talking to Pale; a while ago we had a bet, where he said that if the Wii launched before November 19th, I would get to change his title until the end of the year or something.. If you want to change yours, though, you can go here.. The posts often go unnoticed, though..

Really? I can't see the relation; I quite like Nile and his crazy upside down opticla mouse-type ideas; at least he doesn't take himself as seriously as nemo..

Then what is the double meaning in "somewhere"  

With this statement, I believe you could be talking about Wii demo units.  If I was in school, I wouldn't go to the store and find them...if I was broke I could not drive, and if I was sick I wouldn't leave the house.  

Grounded...I think not unless my wife gets a hold of me.

Hmm...I am still trying to figure out the riddle.  NOBODY knows the actual launch date...or rather nobody who knows would talk without getting in huge trouble.  

So it leaves again riddle, speculation, or deceit.  

I am a trusting person, so I won't call foul.  

Speculation perhaps.  There are tons of stories that present a sooner release than not...but September is absurd...nobody has predicted those times.

Now I am leaning towards demo kiosks as the riddle.

So question.  Will you and I being playing the Nintendo Wii "somewhere" between September 24th and 25th in our own individual homes?


Could you use a synonym for "somewhere" that keeps the double meaning?

Barring some early release surprise, that sounds most logical to me.

That's two days before my brother's birthday, one day before the girl I like's birthday, a rumoured date according to IGN, a Sunday, it's before the PS3 launch, it's before American Thanksgiving, and it's only 66 days away now...


Yeah, I'll go with this. Why? Coz it's my birthday!

In the words of Inigo Montoya, I hate waiting.

If they don't reveal price and launch tomorrow, I'm going to kill someone.

No you won't.  Smash Brothers never kill anyone!

Oh, wait, we're playing Stamina Mode?  o_0  *runs*

But again, I stress...the revelation of the release date doesn't make it any closer or farther.  It just tells you in advance which day to cancel all your other priorities.

I've been dropping in on occasion, but WoW has been eating a lot of my time lately.

I want to know the release date because I want to be sure that the Wii will arrive before WoW's expansion pack (which releases on Nov. 26th, I believe).

I'm just playing WoW because it beats sitting around waiting for the Wii to be released, and come tomorrow, we should know when that'll happen.

Well, SB, now you know that the Wii release date is Nov. 19, 2006...as if we didn't know that already...  >_>

So the question is:

Wii or WoW?

March. 2007.

If that is true then tins of tuna around the world will spin in an anti-clockwise fashion while they dispense their dislike with a hydrogenated oven.

Or, i will be very unhappy.

Haha.  So IceCold gets a new title and Ceric gets an avatar.  It will probably happen late sunday after I have all my impressions written up.

Ok, so now we know the launch date is the 19th of November...what was your little riddle?

And Bravo Pale.  Surely you are a god among Nintendo fans.
