Property description
The overall architecture of our recently built custom home is Spanish Californian, with traditional and elegant accents throughout the entire home. Our home sits on top of a hill, with breathtaking views of rolling hills, large estates of Fairbanks Ranch, canyons views both in front and back yard with a stream, wild life, horse trails, hiking paths and more! The vision of this beautifully spacious interior is crisp white walls as you walk into the grand entrance that is welcoming and impressive! Warm wood floors and beams, 20 foot vaulted ceiling combined with a large scaled fireplace, and stone-look console table add touches of splendor. A large scaled sofa with customized back cushions, and hand selected designer fabrics add softness and comfort in an otherwise formal room. Accent seating and beautifully sculpted cocktail table compete the look for this area. This is a room for hanging out with the family or entertaining with friends.
Outdoor patio area:
Due to the location and architectural layout of the home, the vision of this space is a comfortable retreat. As the three huge pocket doors disappear into the wall, it's difficult to determine whether you are indoors or out. With a beautifully landscaped vanishing edge pool and Jacuzzi in the distance, and gorgeous Spanish traditional tile surround the fireplace, this spot is the place to be used year round. A custom designed floor to ceiling drapery will close off the space to block out the elements or if you are looking for some extra privacy. There is a large sectional sofa, along with over sized chairs and the console table has 4 additional hidden seats. A nine foot shuffleboard table sits behind the couch welcoming those with a bit of a competitive spirit. A ping pone table is also available in the garage.
Master Suite: Large master bedroom with built in plasma TV, surround sound, DVD player, sliding doors with invisible screens that lead out to the Jacuzzi and salt water pool. Exquisite ceiling to floor black out drapery when a good night sleep is needed or shear drapery when you want to smuggle up on the massage bed and read a book or watch one of your favorite movies.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2009
About the owner: After a trip of a life time to Kenya Africa on a safari with our best friends, we come home to the news that our entire home was destroyed by the October, 2007 wild fires that ravaged the San Diego area. In utter shock and disbelief, we made the drive from lax to San Diego in silence and tears! That was our sad story then but 3 years later with the help, support, and love of family, friends, contractors, and our designers at sense of style interiors they have assisted in creating our family's dream home! Elements of Feng shui were incorporated when possible in the selection of materials, finishes and furnishings. The ancient methods of Chinese philosophical design have brought good energy and chi into our home. According to Greek and Egyptian mythology, the phoenix bird is a resurrected creature that is created out of its own ashes, to be born again with a new spirit and life. This is how we see our home!! We hope you will too! Enjoy!

How much time do you spend budgeting and tracking spending?
How much time do you spend each week or month budgeting, tracking spending, thinking about your money, paying bills, etc.? These are tasks that I hate, and I , therefore, do not dedicate enough time to do them. Right now money comes in (paychecks are automatically deposited into my checking and savings accounts) and money goes out (bills are paid automatically by my banks and I spend cash and use my debit card). However, I'm not tracking everything I spend (I know that I should be), and I'm not budgeting for the future. I have a (very) small savings, but basically live paycheck to paycheck. I know that tracking spending and budgeting are the way out of this trap, but I'm loathe to get started (again--I've tried before), because of how much time I anticipate it will take. If you are tracking spending and budgeting on a regular (weekly?) basis, how much time does this activity take in order to have a clear picture of your finances and adequately plan for the future? Thanks in advance for your replies.

This is one of my wife and I's preferred places to dine in Enterprise. The food is always delicious. Children will love the bright decor and they provide pages for them to color. If the children would like, their coloring can be hung for display.
Had seen their restaurants on previous visits to the South but had never been until this month. Definitely some of the best pizza I've had with unusual toppings. Crust is fantastic. They also had a good beer selection.
We are glad that you stopped in to give us a try...we hope to see you again! Thanks for the review. More
This was a favorite place for me while in Enterprise. Their Calzones were terrific! The dining area was large, clean and service was excellent. Their bar sported nearly every type of bottle beer. I often ate here, but sometimes made it a takeout.
We are happy to hear that we became your go to spot while in town...thank you for the review and we hope you make it back in town again. More
Their pizzas are the best. Ingredients are freshfresh. I love the Italian sandwich and the hamburgers are very good. Nice beer selection. The service is very friendly and helpful.
We appreciate your business. Thanks the review! More
If you are looking for a pizza with variety then Mellow Mushroom will deliver. They have a ton of different pizza options and the atmosphere is great.
Thank you for the review!! More
This place continues to amaze me. The service is always the best and food is always good. Friendly atmosphere.
Thank you for the review...we are glad you enjoy our restaurant. More
This Mellow Mushroom location can get pretty busy sometimes but it's always well staffed and the food is always good. I have found the staff to be very friendly and usually providing very good service. Though the faces change quite often, the management must be pretty good because the wait staff is really top notch.
Thanks for the review and feedback...offering great service is very important to us as is fresh tasty food. More
Ordered the stuffed portobello mushroom and vegetable pizza and the sausage hoagie sandwich. The hoagie sandwich was really disappointing more bun than substance
Thanks for the review and feedback. We apologize that you did not enjoy the Spiked Sausage hoagie and will review our specs to make sure it is being made correctly. We appreciate your business and hope to serve you again. More
Great food, excellent wait staff and a good beer selection make for an enjoyable experience. A wide range of foods to appeal to almost everyone.
Thanks for the review!! We hope to serve you again! More
Ordered a calzone & salad. The salad was so huge I only got through 1/2 of the calzone. Food was great, Service was great!!
We are glad you enjoyed the calzone and leftovers are always great the next day. We appreciate your business and review. More

Rule-based software test data generation is proposed as an alternative to either path/predicate analysis or random data generation. A prototype rule-based test data generator for Ada programs is constructed and compared to a random test data generator. Four Ada procedures are used in the comparison. Approximately 2000 rule-based test cases and 100000 randomly generated test cases are automatically generated and executed. The success of the two methods is compared using standard coverage metrics. Simple statistical tests showing that even the primitive rule-based test data generation prototype is significantly better than random data generation are performed. This result demonstrates that rule-based test data generation is feasible and shows great promise in assisting test engineers, especially when the rule base is developed further

Legacy of Slavery

Most Helpful
The sauce in this dish is fantastic! It totally sends the veggies over the top good. I love the mix of cider vinegar with the brown sugar and herbs. Great recipe, thanks for sharing Sweety. Made for Pick-A-Chef Fall 2011.
Really good!
I love mushrooms and I enjoy sprouts. So, I knew I hat to give this a try and I am glad I did because it was very tasty served alongside the tuna steaks I served for our main meal tonight. I used reduced fat margarine and splenda brown sugar mix and everything still worked out well. I think the sauce really is the dish and I think the sauce would actually be nice as a marinade for salmon or a similar meaty fish. Made for PAC Fall 208.

After 6+ years of writing in E-Prime, these exercises come easily to me. I've recently devoted more time and attention to speaking in E-Prime and as you may expect, I lapse into using 'is' with more frequency.
Using E-Prime in daily speech really does change the inner dialogue of the mind and has a profound effect on the world view and I recommend it to every QP participant. We adjust the way we speak to please our employers, neighbors, etc. so why not adjust your speech for you own pleasure and experimental spirit? I find it much funner than asking, "Do you want fries with that?"

Do these sentence work as examples of E-Prime? I'm still trying to wrap my brain around E-Prime, or vice-versa.
A. Some scientists did not trust Dr. Reich.
B. Many in the medical establishment considered Sister Kenny a quack.
C. "Everybody seems a bit queer except me and thee, and sometimes I wonder about thee."
D. Often cancer arises from worry and depression.
E. Some cancers seem caused by a virus.
F. Many experts used to see sexual repression as the cause of schizophrenia.
G. Some scientists see genetic predisposition as the cause of schizophrenia.
H. She completely accepts official Catholic dogma, and so she rejects abortion.
I. Evolution has survived more than a century of challenges and so seems more proven fact that theory.
J. The New Age movement does not mesh with Pat Robertson's brand of Christianity.
K. "Reality seems observer dependent."
L. "I don't want to translate Crowley's quote into E-Prime."
M. "I don't want to translate Stang's quote into E-Prime either."
- October 25, 2012 at 9:56 AM
- Thom Foolery said...
And now for the questions...
A. Are all diseases psychosomatic? (no version of "to be" in this sentence, so no E-Prime translation needed, right? I would adjust the "all" to "sombunall," but that's a slightly different focus, isn't it?)
B. Are some UFOs really alien spaceships? (same comment as A above)
C. What seems just to me?
D. What do I consider art?
E. How does poverty arise?
F. Why does war happen?
G. Why do many homeless people live in country that seems materially prosperous?
H. "I find it pretty, but does it constitute art?"

This was an early Christmas gift from my husband and I have already used it twice and LOVE it! It is exactly what I wanted: large capacity, portable, programmable, and affordable! The temperature probe is a bonus! No more guessing! In fact, I am cooking a duck in it right now!!! I have already recommended it to a friend of mine.
Oh, and I did purchase the two year warranty (just in case), which was only $5. Seemed like a "no-brainer" to me!
Outstanding slow cooker !!!! I use this product every weekend and it has never let me down !!!! Can't think of anything that would improve it !!!! It can be programed to use a temp probe and will maintane said temp for as long as you like.... I just finished a pasta, hamburger and velveeta cheese thing I'm going to call a Cheeseburger cassirole that is to die for !!!! I am so pleased with this cooker I baught it for a loved one for Christmas !!!! Truly a GREAT cooker that will bring you years of joy !!!! Good eating....
I picked this up in time to make a big pot of soup for a potluck this weekend, and I was amazed how monsterous it was. I fit 2 full bags of lentils in it with all the necessary water and veggies, and it filled the crock up perfectly without being too full. I knew I was ordering the 6 quart, but I guess I didn't think about how big that really is! I love the options this model offers - much more than almost any other model, especially in this reasonable price range. Having the ability to choose the number of minutes, (in 30 min increments), as well as the temperature, is awesome. I also love that when I do meats, I can tell it when to switch to the "warm" mode based on the temperature probe reading that the meat is a specific temperature. Out of the box, I love it. Durability is the only thing I can't speak to at this point.
This is an excellent large slow cooker. The lid attachement makes it easy to travel to potlucks. The thermometer helps tell when meat is done without opening lid and losing all the heat. It is also nice looking and the walmart price was great.
Buy it...you won't regret it. The temperature probe alone puts this cooker heads and shoulders above the rest. The only thing that could possibly make it any better, would be a croc cozie to transport warm food to another location. Jeeze...I'm sounding like my Granny...
This is the first electronic Slow Cooker that I have had. Works very well. The only thing that I didn't like are the metal clips that hold down the lid for transport. They were in the way, I felt, and since my cordination isn't the best, I considered returning the unit.
But my husband looked at them and found that if you slowly and carefully spread them apart a little, they come right out. They can be put back on if I ever want to take it somewhere.
So problem solved.
This crock pot is a great investment. I bought it for the sole purpose of my parents, who like to micro-manage while I'm cooking. If you're every in doubt about which crock pot to purchase, start with this model. The programming and features are easy-to-use. The front panel toggles between a time remaining/temperature reading display; the probe mode is perfect for cooking chickens/turkeys to name a few. These features keep my folks from thinking that the food isn't cooking. I use it more than I use my oven!
I got it fast and started useing it the first night. No matter what I put in it, it always comes out excellent! I literally put food in it, frozen or completely thawed, and it's always amazing! I don't need to check on it, stir it...nothing! Perfectly cooked food every time! I can't believe how much easier this is for me. I have fibromyalgia and MS, so I hurt a lot, and to throw stuff into ONE thing and let it cook for me-Amazing! I've made, chili, chicken and stuffing, shredded beef empanadas, apple crisp, overnight French toast with blue berries. All came out perfect! I'm going to make bread in it next, then for the holidays I'm planning on making chocolate candy! I can't wait!
I like all the different settings, especially how it goes to warm after the time setting is finished. My old one only had high, low and warm. I like the meat probe for all the meats. I put a butt roast in that was not completely thawed but it was fine and delicious. I would recommend this and the price is reasonable.
the only thing I recommend is when you buy kits or packaged meals(pork roast) season your self unless you like spicy then you'll be fine... as far as a cooker it is what is says it is... set and forget, follow instructions and you will have a meal. while your meal is winding down, cook your rice or pasta,,, but I have been reading that you can add rice or pasta the last 30 min and you will have every thing... have yet to try but can't wait
You can truly "set and forget" this slow cooker. As a busy wife and mom, this is exactly what I needed. Super easy to program and use. Automatically turns to warm so you don't have to worry about overcooked food. Does not come with recipes but you can go to the Hamilton Beach website for those. One note of caution: this slow cooker cooks fast so you may need to use the lower end of suggested recipe cook times. Love it!
Tried roasting a chicken (large roasting chicken) and was pleased and surprised that it turned out perfect. Note: I am not that good of a cook, just okay.
Easy to set and accurate. Loved that it kept dinner warm and did not overcook. Temp. probe is great. I researched slow cookers before I decided. Made the right choice.
I went on several recipe sights and have found so many useful tips. best was for the chicken--place balls of foil underneath and it keeps it above juices.
Tomorrow=lasagna recipe I found.
Love this product.
I received this last week and have been able to use it twice already. It has great features with the programmable, temperature setting, or manual use controls. It is easy to use and cooks food evenly. It looks great and has been easy to clean. I really like this product and it seems to be sturdy. After 10 years our last crock pot had side handles that snapped off as well as the lid handle. I don't think that will happen with this one. I did not have problems with food burning either - even after using the keep warm setting for several hours. Overall, I would recommend this to someone looking for a crock pot with these features and a large size.
My wife has used this crockpot several times and had no problems with it. Beware of the two year warranty. Its actually a 1 year warranty added to the manufacturers 1 year warranty
This crock pot was the best I've had. It was easy to use right out of the box and I love the programable features, but I never used the probe, I did not find that useful. HOWEVER, it only lasted one year and then stopped working. I took good care of this item, I used it an average of 4 times per month and one day it just stopped heating up, ruining a really good roast. I probably will not invest in another Hamilton Beach, but will definitely be buying a new crock pot.
This is the third purchase of this slow cooker. I first purchased one for myself and discovered how great it is to cook with. No scorching or sticking to the bottom. I then bought two more for my daughters since I knew they would love it. The temp probe is great when you don't want your food to cook to oblivion when you're not home.
I bought this crock pot because I loved the meat thermometer feature. I love the many options you have for cooking with this appliance. Despite other reviews, I have cooked on low and high, by temp and by time. I love, love, love this crock pot! It looks great and performs just as well. I have other crock pots (I entertain a lot) but this is by far my favorite of all of them. I love having more than one because for big gatherings, they come in handy. You can keep things warm in them and all the food is ready at the same time without being over cooked!
Very simple to use, cooks to true temperature, glad it is 6 quarts.
did a lot of research on slow cookers to replace my favorite which finally died after several years. most reviews were positive, some were negative on this one on other sites. nothing but good reviews on here. i decided to take the chance and i am glad i did. this crock pot is great! it cooks at the right heat, it switches to warm after cooking time, lid sealing for travel is great! even got food done after we had power flicker - cooker kept correct time, even tho other clocks in the house were flashing 1200. only negative i can say about it is the lid has handle raised up above glass lid - when my husband was washing lid, he held it a certain way under running water and the water shot all over me, i was soaked and he was laughing. other than that, no issues with it. am glad i got it, very happy with this slow cooker.
I have only had this slow cooker a couple of weeks but have already cook a beef roast and a pork shoulder for BBQ and both have been WINNERS at my house! I love this slow cooker and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good, NO great slow cooker.

Flying Santa
|This article does not cite any sources. (April 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Flying Santa is the name given to a tradition that dates to Christmas of 1929, when packages of gifts were dropped from a plane to lighthouse keepers and their families along the New England coast.[1]
The organization was the brainchild of pilot William Wincapaw, who became lost during a snow storm during a cargo-laden flight in 1929. He finally sighted the Dice Head Lighthouse, and was able to use the lights of this and 6 other lighthouses along the way to guide himself home.[1] [2] wished to give something to the keepers whose work he admired. So well received was his work that he expanded the program to cover more light stations and Coast Guard stations in future years. Wincapaw did not initially consider himself a Santa Claus; the title was bestowed upon him by residents of the stations that he visited. Soon he would be joined on the route by his son, Bill Jr., and by noted author Edward Rowe Snow. Snow participated in the program for over forty years before his retirement.[3]
Wiggins Airways eventually began providing chartered aircraft for the Flying Santas, whose flights have continued uninterrupted, apart from the years of World War II, since 1929; helicopters are now used instead of planes. Chief Warrant Officer David Waldrip, USCG, and Chief Warrant Officer Tom Guthlein, USCG, are the current Santas. Today, the nonprofit Friends of Flying Santa continues the flights primarily as a way of expressing gratitude for the work performed by the Coast Guard.[1]

Iwata Says Wii Music has Underperformed
But Nintendo president hopeful that sales will continue steadily.
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata admits that Wii Music hasn't met the company's sales expectations, but is still optimistic about the game's future. CVG reports that during a third quarter financial results briefing, he commented, "I agree that Wii Music, as of now, has not achieved its true potential. On the other hand, I feel that Wii Music is a software that elicits two extremely different reaction from consumers. There are people who highly appreciate it and those who do not appreciate it at all."
He went on to explain that the company is still supporting the game, hoping sales increase later. "We do not think... that we should abandon sales support. If we had approached Brain Training with that mentality, the software would have not achieved its current sales situation." Unfortunately, Wii Music's failure to connect with audiences could be indicative of a larger uphill battle Nintendo is facing in Japan, as Iwata recognized that in its home country the console "showed a slow start, did not show sharp trajectory in sales, and ended up moving back to the sales of non-sales-season level quickly." He pointed out that "it is impossible to hit a bulls eye every time."
Even as the game underperformed, creator Shigeru Miyamoto defended the title and reflected on hardcore and casual gamers. But Nintendo has recently seen a hit to its stock value, and some analysts are saying that the bubble has burst. We'll have to see if this encourages Nintendo to cater more to its core audience in the future, or if they'll stick to their generally successful casual strategy.

Who's counting?Posted: Feb 10, 2009 12:00AM PST by Shonuff27
If I could count the number of flops Microsoft games and Sony games have made (3rd or 1st party) and got 10 bucks for each I named, I probably would just make it out of this financial crisis.
Fact is, everyone can't deliver 100%. Nintendo's quality track record is top notch and probably better than Sony and Microsoft put togeather. Also keep in mind that most of the said "crap casual titles" are all 3rd party, Nintendo's line of casual games have all been in many ways successful so please stop trying to trump Nintendo on one flop. And if you don't like it, just don't buy it, there are plenty of Hardcore games coming out for the Wii, especially MadWorld which looks like the most violent game i've seen in a decade and a ton of fun.
*sigh*Posted: Feb 08, 2009 12:00AM PST by NitsuaKun
It seems everybody's all up for telling Nintendo fans (not the casual wannabe ones) to stfu and get on with their lives. That's not the point here. Only reason you poeple say that is because the gaming company you like hasn't tossed it's fan in the dumpster just to make a quick buck. Or you just never truly liked Nintendo in the first place, when they were good. Signs of Nintendo straying from their roots started to show right around when the Gamecube era was reaching an end. Not much was coming out for it, major titles kept getting more and more delayed, and even GBA games that would have been nice to have here in the states were never localized because "it wasn't worth it". You know when a musical group says they do what they do for the fans? We all know they aren't totally in it for the money, but they don't mind making some dough on the side. But they do what the fans want, and the fans stay with em through thick and thin. Nah, Nintendo said "Instead of upping the stakes and trying to bring some of you guys back, we'll just go ahead and move onto a fanbase that is ignorant enough to buy games like Wii Music, but be happy for us, we'll make money! Yay!" So go keep playing your generic FPS's and whatnot and let us Nintendo fans hope for a better day where Nintendo games will once again give us that warm feeling inside on a frequent basis...(you know, other than the DS, thank god that system still exists lol)
JesusPosted: Feb 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by DKqwerty
Jesus Ephrum Christ, Nintendo releases one flop and every "hardcore" gamer jumps down their throat, insisting that Nintendo is selling stupid people stupid crap.
The fact is, while the Wii and its games might neglect the "core" gamers, it has broad appeal to the unwashed masses as well as to the oft neglected "middle" gamers. Middle gamers (there may already be a more appropriate industry term for that) are people like me who grew up playing video games, who know exactly which games they enjoy playing, who enjoy playing games through to completion, but don't vest their entire allotment of free time gaming. These people (myself included) will buy maybe 2-6 titles a year, thoroughly enjoy the games they do play, and are not necessarily looking for the next big hit or superior graphics, just good, solid, fun games. It seems like everyone around here (all you "core" gamers) has forgotten that video games are for entertainment, and how one indulges in that entertainment and to what depth is entirely up to each individual. I don't begrudge you your lifestyle of über-serious all-night Mountain Dew-assisted gaming sessions, so don't trample all over my fun by calling it "childish" or "ignorant"; I'm playing the system I want to play with the types of games I want, what could be more pure than that?
So if you don't have anything nice to say, then SHUT THE FUCK UP‼
@ cnewbyPosted: Feb 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by BlazingAero
He didn't call it a "game", he called it "software", as two guys below pointed out. And he wasn't wrong - it is data written onto a disc. Iwata is a businessman - not a gamer.
People like usPosted: Feb 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by SpaceMonkey
Have realized we're being sold garbage. However, the average wii owner (40+ something woman) think what they are getting sold is great. They're the ones that buy this crap.
IM HAPPY...Posted: Feb 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by carnagebroodx
that people are starting to realize that Nintendo has been selling them garbage.
You can say Nintendo doesn't need the core gamer...Posted: Feb 06, 2009 12:00AM PST by formergcfan
But that is as idiotic as saying they don't need the casuals. We'll still be buying and playing games long after people who bought the Wii for Wii Sports or Wii Fit.
You've got to be kidding me...Posted: Feb 06, 2009 12:00AM PST by slightly_wiitarded
every single flamer on this post should wise up. Wii Music underperforms? When you compare it to Wii Fit or Mario Kart or Wii Sports or even Wii Play, of course it underperforms! They sold like a billion copies! Technically next to those, GTAIV, Call of Duty, and MGS4 underperformed as well. But I don't hear people 'predicting' the death knell of the 360 or the PS3. When you look past your own ignorance, you'll find that the 'fad' is far from dead. It actually past a fad about 3 or 4 months ago. And if you think that Nintendo 'needs' the hardcore, that would be another misnomer on your part. Where were the hardcore, when Nintendo put out the Gamecube or even the 64? It's true...a lot of people stayed for the games (Pikmin, Prime, RE4), but just as many, or even more, ditched them for the more 'adult' Playstation 2 and XBox, resulting on stellar sales for both systems, and a lot less for the GC. And now they owe you? Though, you know what? Nintendo does owe the hardcore. Because of the hardcore 'turning its back' on them, they made a decision to try to satisfy everybody. And you know what? It worked. The casuals caught on. They've made billions of dollars and are actually in the black! Sony can't say that, and I'm not entirely sure Microsoft can say that either. Hell, man, they've actually, in a way, revived the gaming market, and snagged a bunch of new gamers that will more than likely stick around for the future no matter what system they choose. In any case, Nintendo will go on, with or without you. So you can impotently bitch about the lack of good games, but unless you've got a schematic for the perfect game that would perfectly utilize the Wiimotes functionality in a way that you find pleasing, do us all a favor and shut the fuck up.
I'm not surprisedPosted: Feb 06, 2009 12:00AM PST by s1ave_one
The Wii, while great in its own right, needs to see a boost in quality software. Wii Music was, to me, Nintendo hitting rock bottom to be honest. At one point I was really interested in this game but then I started to see the great idea's for the game disappear. Oh, and the 'cat' in the game...wtf? Seriously, Japanese or not, that is just stupid. On the bright side, this might mean that Nintendo will begin focusing on higher quality titles.
I also think that the 'bubble' might have burst. I've been seeing an aweful lot of Wii consoles in stock at various stores lately. If Nintendo wants to maintain market leadership, now is the time to focus on the 'core' gamer and focus hard. At this point in the console generation, the casuals (be it Wii Sports, Halo, or anything else that has enjoyed massive mainstream success) are bored. Not only that, but most people have played it and know someone that owns it and may not feel the need to own it themselves. This is where the 'core' gamer comes in. We core gamers are the ones that solely carry a console into the horizon. Thats not to say that the generation is almost over. I think its about mid-way through actually. At this point, us core gamers are the ones buying new games. Discovering new gems. Spreading the word about our favorite consoles. Nintendo needs to focus on us almost exclusively if they want to keep the power-house that is the Wii, going strong.
Such a guilty pleasurePosted: Feb 06, 2009 12:00AM PST by SaviorMachine
...hating on Wii, enjoying Nintendo's now-rare moments of failure. When will this house of cards collapse? When will the public catch on?
Good...Posted: Feb 06, 2009 12:00AM PST by formergcfan
It's a garbage game and serves Nintendo right for completely avoiding the core gamer. I just wish Wii Fit had had the same terrible sales.
OmgPosted: Feb 06, 2009 12:00AM PST by nintendoboy97
I noticed that Iwata called Wii Music software instead of Game. Thanks to the guy below me for pointing it out.
I hope the next Wii {insert Miyamoto hobby here} fails. I mean the one after Wii Sports 2

You know, I think there's going to be one sector of videogames that isn't recession proof: games for people who don't give a shoit about videogames. Like, I don't know... Wii Music?
Not that I'm predicting Nintendo's imminent bankruptcy or anything, but I think they're going to find that, if spending continues to decline, crapware games for people who barely remember they have a videogame system are going to be hit a whole lot harder than games for enthusiasts.
Well duh!Posted: Feb 06, 2009 12:00AM PST by WAFFLE-MAN
how long do they expect people to buy all this kiddy crap? they need to get back to the SNES days when the had good games. Don't get me wrong there's some good games coming out but don't expect people to buy crap like pokemon farm like it's the greatest game in the world.
Cause and EffectPosted: Feb 06, 2009 12:00AM PST by bongz_johnson
When you put out a bad game, people dont buy it. Funny how that works out. As for the reference to brain training, that game has a practical application. This game is neither fun nor practical. Nintendo FTL
Wii problemsPosted: Feb 06, 2009 12:00AM PST by kid_atomic
I think the problem with most of the Wii 1st party titles, especially one like this which they want to exhibit as something with a deeper breadth, is in its presentation. The Big N has always had strong sensibilities in character and world design. The Wii avatars and world structure just look phoned in or too safe from their past decisions. With Mario, Pikmin, Zelda, Metroid, and countless other Nintendo titles there was an extremely strong craft and care exhibited. These stock characters and layouts just seem to have no personality and take away from whatever the end all goal of the games may be. They wanted to be simplistic and friendly but in the end it undermines the goals of the titles and makes them seem cheap compared to what they have succeeded with in the past. It does not feel like Nintendo to me it feels hollow and structured more by marketing. If Wii Music had its own unique feel and direction and provided an obvious attention to detail I think more people may have given it a chance and played it to see if there was a deeper element than what is on display in something like Wii sports. By giving these games identical treatment they are also providing an assumption in the gamers eyes of the content through visual association. This can be good however I think more care should have been placed in the initial framework and design of the Mii/Wii universe. I think the Wii bubble will burst and they will lose these "new" gamers soon enough who were just there for the fad. Nintendo struck a bit of oil with this generation and I think now that the experiment has worked they need to up the ante and show a level of detail and care to these games that they have done in the past.
Not at all...Posted: Feb 06, 2009 12:00AM PST by Prophet2477
To the previous poster... I think what he is saying is that the game is highly divisive. Some people really like it, some people really dislike it, but there a very few who are in between. I for one agree...
