B-A-C-K that spells back! (a true rambling)

Yes, I'm back after 4 a month absence. I know it's called Daily Ramblings, but lately things haven't been anywhere near daily. I don't know if anyone still reads this, but if you do happen to be checking up, this time it was not in vain. And I thank you for sticking with this. Anyway, today I'm going to be discussing a subject that many...You know, I don't know what I'm going to talk about...I've bought 16 albums in about a months time, no joke, and a few days ago I got chili up my nose, hmmmm, you know about...you know, it doesn't matter, because in between those 3 periods right there, another month just went by, it's the end of February now, the 23rd, and still I have nothing. More people have been reading this, and I owe it to them to talk about things, meaningful things, but nothing here I've ever talked about is meaningful really. I mean, right now, I'm literally talking about nothing, it's a conversation about nothing. But what could I talk about? Well, Joey thinks my opinion of hot pockets is wrong, and that he won't read things that are too long to him, but if he actually read this, he'd know I was talking about him. Just like I'm going to talk about war. War is a divisive subject, as we all know. But what about war? Who has them? and why? Actually, I'm not going to think that much right now, plus I've always said I wouldn't talk about serious topics on here, so I won't. But I don't want to talk about food again. How about the fact that the sun is shining and it's still cold? What's up with that? The sun is hot, the air is not? Why is this? I'm no meteorologist...oh, wait, I know what's even better, people who drive with their brights on? They are so bright aren't they?...the people that is, their bright, for driving with their brights on. There you are driving down a curvy, deserted road at night, and some idiot comes barreling around with his brights on. I mean, those are blinding, and that's bull, I mean, what if some deer jumped out right in front of you right as that happened? Now you've got deer blood all over your nice car, not to mention what the deer hitting your car did to it. All because someone didn't know what to do. Well, I'm going to wrap this up now, or else some people might not read it.

Nintendo

I'm not a fan of Nintendo. In fact, I think their outdated. Let me explain, yes they are responsible for some of the greatest classics in video gaming. But they are now a mere shell of themselves. One thing I don't like about Nintendo is the outdated technology they use now. It's been this way for years. It all started with the Nintendo 64, the rise of The Playstation as a serious competator (I still have mine). They used CDs, while The Nintendo 64 still used outdated old fashioned cartriges still. Although they did have the game Goldeneye. I will give them that. But the Nintendo 64 was outdated already because of that. Then we get the Gamecube, it used really small disks for some reason. It wasnt that good. The PS2 and X-box were ahead technologically still. And now we get to the current generation of consules. The Wii. The Wii is outdated, its just a gamecube with a controller shaped like a remote that you flick to give the illusion of movement. It's quite hyped. Revolutionary my foot. I read in an article Wiis only cost 99 dollars to make but that you buy it for like $250. Meanwhile, Microsoft sells their X-box 360 below what its worth to make you buy it. Not to mention, the only reason Nintendo is still relevent is because now they tap into the market of "casual gamers". In other words, people mostly over the age of 30 something, or people who do not really play video games. Regardless of who exactly, these people represent the effects of the hype bubble. It's when something becomes very popular in the mainstream it attracts a fanbase of mostly hanger-oners who will drop it and move on to the next big thing. Pop music is solely based on this. Which is why songs have such a short shelf life. Not to mention, Nintendo has milked Mario and other such characters for the past 20 or so years at least, how bout some new characters? X-box has Master Chief from the Halo games. How about some new characters???? Without it's massive hype machine, Nintendo would be far less influentual in todays video game market.
