Should I get a gamecube? Tell me why or why not?

I wouldn't, because it has crap game variety, and its flagship games are all overrated by wimp reviewers who would be fired for giving a flagship Nintendo game the score it deserves."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I wouldn't buy a gamecube. But if one mysteriously appeared I'd probably get Zelda. Not sure who arguments that helps.

I wouldn't buy a gamecube. But if one mysteriously appeared I'd probably sell it on Ebay and use the money to buy alcohol. I'm pretty sure this doesn't help anyones argument.

Knowing your enthusiasm for thieving if I was your neighbour I'd keep an eye on what 'mysteriously appeared' in your possession.

But I'm a "good thief", so you wouldn't even know I was there. Unless I happened to blackjack you. And everyone else in the house. And move all the unconscious bodies into one room.
I've been known to do that in-game.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

I'm really glad you added those two words "in game" at the end of that post.

In real life I couldn't be bothered moving all the bodies, to be honest. Too lazy.

Because the content is different. Play Super Mario Sunshine, t6hen play Mario Party...one is simply a party game, the other involves you spraying water to clean up sludge in an overly-colorful environment while yelling "yippie!"..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

meh. try argue content with a person who's overly concious of lack of content in video gamese these days...
I dont view mario party as being anything less "kiddie" than mario sunshine is. I semi-worked for eb (meaning hanging around bothering my friend whos the manager playing games
) Mario party is still purchased by 178% by kids, -7000% by mature adults. Content or not, theyre both kid games. And I hardly see anyone playing mario party in dorm rooms. Yeah, I played mario party with friends couple of times... but it would have been no different than if we said "hey lets go play mario sunshine".
also double dash and smash bro are both kid games too. Now that ive played more than just couple of times. but it still doesnt make it any more mature becasue game plays great...
If you really wanna see it that way, GTA games are for kids too. Cause it lacks content. You just run around doing brainless things stupid things while having fun. just like mario sunshine. if thats what u meant.... then i guess i do agree with it.:-pComment

I don't classify games as kiddie by lack of content, I classify them as kiddie when the whole premise is full of bright colors (like Barney...), full of children's-cartoon like characters, with plots so thin that they compete with porn movies, and generally lowered target audience.
I don't consider GTA3 a kids game, though I do consider it rather low in content."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

So 'Freedom Force' is kiddie?

I've never played it, I wouldn't know.
The primary candidate for "kiddie" games is the target demographic. Watch the Super Mario Sunshine commercials and try to tell me it's not aimed at kids.
