I still have yet to go into one. | Vaporman87 | Oct 12, 2013 |  |

| 4216 | Virtual Console Thursdays | And now... another piece of (unfortunate) Virtual Console news: Yoshi's Cookie is going to be delisted from the Wii Shop Channel on October 18. The reason they're doing this is currently unknown. My guess might have something to do with Nintendo not entirely owning gameplay concepts that the game used, since that was the type of thing Bullet Proof Software came up with themselves. It's kind of like how Donkey Kong Country 1-3 was delisted from the Virtual Console service, possibly due to Rare owning certain elements to the game, and Nintendo not being able to retain those rights. So, if you're looking to buy Yoshi's Cookie for the Wii, then you better do it before next Friday, because after that, then it will be gone for good. Although, footage from Yoshi's Cookie was used in the Wii U Virtual Console launch video. I wonder if the delisting of the Wii VC version shoots the possibility of seeing a Wii U version down to hell. | blueluigi | Oct 12, 2013 | |

| 4214 | Excitebike | I never played 64 or World Rally. Wanna check em both out sometime. I do really like Excite Truck, Excite Bots, and Motocross Maniacs for the first Game Boy. MM has great music! | shakin steak | Oct 12, 2013 | |

| 4211 | Things you don't like about this era. | <blockquote rel="Vaporman87"><b>Vaporman87 wrote :</b><br> This is the American dream, is it not? To rise from nothing to become great? To overcome adversity, hardship, struggle? </blockquote> It is. I see that line as being about working class people who are not disgusted by the salaries that some execs pull in. Who would prefer that they continue to pay 20+% income tax and have no problem with the ultra-rich being taxed at 10% or less because "they earned it". I think the Jefferson line sounds good, but did not anticipate the hunger for constant growth that drives a lot of board rooms today. We presently try to restrain men from injuring each other physically, but long-running financial injury to whole classes of people and to the country itself is perfectly acceptable, even a participatory sport for some govt officials (such as the mayor of Chicago). Leading to lack of restraint on physical attack, such as when the police force gets budget cuts while $55 million of public money is allocated to buying taxable land, exempting it, and building a stadium on it for a private university with a mediocre team. | shakin steak | Oct 11, 2013 | |
| 4210 | Things you don't like about this era. | <blockquote rel="shakin steak"><b>shakin steak wrote :</b> 1. CONSTRUCTIVE CAPITALISM IS WHERE YOU SHARE THE PROFIT WITH THE WORKERS AND THE EARTH FROM WHICH YOU MADE IT! <--- I cannot praise this view enough.</blockquote> Agreed. The salaries that some execs pull in on the backs of their laborers and office help is, at times, disgusting. It's nice to know that not all of them simply overlook it, but take action to make it better. With regard to your quote from 1776: This is the American dream, is it not? To rise from nothing to become great? To overcome adversity, hardship, struggle? It would be a different world if every citizen in our history simply accepted the cards they were dealt and just hoped a benevolent government would take away a few more crumbs to give to them? To accept the reality of being poor is fine, but what a person does with that (or votes for others to do for them), can determine the fate of nations... for better or worse. Speaking of quotes, this reminded me of a quote I had once heard from Thomas Jefferson, but could not recall in detail. I found it online though: "A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities." | Vaporman87 | Oct 11, 2013 | |
