Wow big deal, stop overreacting.

Also Hypershell, demotivational pictures stopped being amusing years ago.

Very very true.

Ruri, you know me better than that by now.  Since when have I NOT been exhuming old jokes out of their graves?

And boo-hoo, other people are having opinions and fun the wrong way.  I'm pretty sure policing the forums as to whether or not we are using the proper trending image style is a lot more of an overreaction than anything else posted above.

If I don't do it then things like that would be seen as the standard and that's just not right, it's not an overreaction its a serious threat to the future of this forum's quality.

Well, never.  I just could have sworn that you used to be better at it.

Have a cookie, dear, and we'll try again later. :cookie:

I think you're confusing me with someone else.

I don't think you're willing to put the effort to keep your game up to be honest.

I'm not sure which, um, game you are referring to but lately I've found myself without the motivation to play video games, so if there is some game I'm apparently playing I must agree that I would not be willing to put effort in at all.

Preeeetty sure he was never quite good at it, Hypershell.

As for the suing thing, that's an odd ruling. Well, guess we'll see how the other court sessions go.

Like it said in the article, Nintendo is planning an appeal; so who knows might turn out okay for them after all. If the appeal fails I'm sure they will settle or whatever the term is.

wow, that was a troll copyright lawsuit if I ever saw one, and the Judge took it hook line and sinker.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Maybe. But I dont see them suing Sony for their Wiimote knockoff.

Considering Phillips history with Nintendo it's hard to not see it as an intentional, personal attack on Ninty

The problem is that the information is a bit scarce about this subject.  It seems that this has been going on for a while, at least 2012 at the latest, and that Philips also sued Germany and France along with the UK and US.
