Just an English language idiom. Gay is in the vernacular as something that sucks.

How times are changing. Bad habit I myself and many others have gotten into over the years as we progress in life, picking up stupid things from people. If I have offended you CyberSarkany then I apologize of course.

Gay also describes a persecuted minority. As a slur, it is not cool.

Perfect answer. It's nice to see something like this end considerately, for a change.

Who cares? Words can mean different things, to different people. Its been embedded into culture.

I know people use "gay" to express that they don't like something, but I still don't understand why, I mean alot of people here use the term "juif" or "turk" as insult, and looking back at our history, discrimination may be the start of a war, or _just_ fights between groups of people.

No problem, I was just kinda...well...thinking about it and asking why...I do think to much about stuff like that lately, so don't think "wrong" of me if I write a few strange posts

:O So Square ARE really racists for making the bad guys turks!

Gay=Sucks because it's clever, albeit childish (not that "sucks" isn't already) wordplay humor. If you don't get it, you've got your head shoved too far up your ass. As they also say, "Sticks & Stones may break my bones...etc). It's just words. Get over yourself.

Note to readers: This is a general expression and is not targeted at anyone specifically. Because, I know, like everyone else should, that everyone sucks and deserves to die. Eat my ass you PC regiment hounds from hell!

I don't think it's as bad as anyone think it sounds.  I think they're jsut shocked that it's something so "different".

Let's face it people, all console names up to this point have been unoriginal and boring.  Xbox.  Wow, take it TO THE XTREME.  Now throw on a 360.  Exciting.  Playstation 1,2,3.  'Nuff said.  Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, bleh.  Gamecube made an ATTEMPT, and it did slightly better, but still not quite there.

Now I'm going to backup why I think Wii will still sell extremely well, despite the weird name, which is, people DONT CARE what it's named.  People will fall into one of two groups here, people that understand WHY it's named "Wii" (as in we, community, blah blah) and people who don't understand why it's named "Wii".  Now, look at the Nintendo DS.  Same idea.  People that knows what it means (Dual Screen AND Developers System, some people still don't know this), and people that have no clue what it means.  Guess what?  The system has been selling millions to both groups of people, regardless of how much they know about the system.  Wii falls into the same category.

Well actually, the games that they produce will have to sell the Wii.  Even if I don't know the full potential of the system, what makes me buy it is the games.  That is where I think the Wii will fall short, at least in the beginning.  Of course they are going to release games like Zelda and Mario type games, but if those are the only type of games that they make for a while, then the system will be in trouble.  And the ability to play NES, SNES, N64, and maybe Gamecube games still won't help because (like someone already said in this post) we already can play a lot of those games on our home computers.  Now the only thing that would make me buy a Wii is if they remake alot of the old NES, SNES games or make sequels.  (mmm...Legend of Kage...yeeeessssss)

You know nothing about the Wii do you icedragon? You see there in the horizon Sega games? Innovative ones? Call of Duty using the Wiimote? Red Steel? Tony Hawk? Crystal Chronicles? Man, I'd buy Wii even if there WERE no Nintendo games! But there are.

[Magus22]

I haven't really read much on the Wii.

As far as I know, it will be able to play any or all games from Nintendo. I willt also have it's unique line-up of "Wii" games right?

So . . . Every Past Nintendo Type Game  + Wii Games = A Lot Of Fun To Come

Tony Hawk?

Don't be silly BZ, no one plays Tony Hawk games anymore.

Tony Hawk?

Don't be silly BZ, no one plays Tony Hawk games anymore.

They will when the Wiimote is used *shakes fist*

I've said this countless times before in some version or another on this forum and on 1up.com, but it always seems to get overlooked.  But in whats is sure to be an another missed post, I will once again state the Truth:

Consloe loyality is irrelvlant.  Consloe names are likewise irrlevelvant.  Games are all that matters.  

Wii is stupid name.  Very stupid.  They only name that could have been any worse would have been 'Hitler's Love Box For Kids'.  I'm still going to get both it and the PS3 becuse they will have the games I want to play.  

It is that simple.
