I'm excited for the Nextbox stuff next week, too. I don't really post on many other sites, but then I mostly use this as a general whatever I thought that day blog.

Well, lack of sales and weak third party support are legitimate issues that could lead a developer not to want to produce content for a console ... but this was the dumbest way the guy that works at the "Worst Company in America" could have said that.

$10 for all that Sonic would be impossible to pass up if I had the drive space for it. Man.

Although I'm not sure I'd care to play 3D Blast that much. lol

Awesome. Eagles are cool, and your drawings are very good.

I remember in school hearing they paid $10/hr for nude models the students would paint and I thought I needed to lose weight, so I could get that job with less shame. Never did, though.

I don't disagree about any of that, I'm just saying Wii U will still most likely be the third wheel this generation. If you look at my collection, you'll know that's not because I don't like Nintendo (exactly the opposite), I just think PS4 and "720" have more mainstream appeal than that particular console, even with higher prices, and will fare better, even if they still don't necessarily fare well by any other standard.

Dubstep ruined Christmas.

I see PS4 and 720 faring better than Wii U, honestly; I think that "casual market" dried up, but there are still people that just don't like playing games on PC that will continue to be console gamers and buy PS4s and 720s. 70million+  probably won't happen, but I'm not seeing something as lackluster as Wii U out of the gate happening, either.

That's a pretty awesome day job. Maybe you could post a pic of one of those painted cast iron fittings.

Good pics! Like Aaron, I knew what you looked like from the video you did.

Sorry about your cat, had to put mine down in March. Looks like you've got a good thing going with your guy friend. Nice vintage pictures, too.

You can technically make money off anything you upload to a site where you agree to have advertisements in your video and can be paid in CPMs (a rate of cash, usually mere cents paid to you for every thousand viewers or so, i.e. cost per mille, or cost per thousand "impressions" or views), as far as I understand from a thatguywiththeglasses panel I watched in college. It takes a lot of viewers for that to net you any sort of income, if you've opted for ads to be run on your videos (at least I think you can opt in or out).

It was part of a paper I wrote for my Advanced TV Techniques class, but I don't have that paper in front of me, and that was a year ago, so some of that info could easily be a bit off, but that's what I remember being the case. Yargz and some other people could probably tell you better, since they actually do Let's Plays.
