nintendo update...

Yes we finally did it. We are unveiling the secret that we have kept for the past month or so. So what is it you ask? Well we can now assure you that the Dolphin will have a polygon rate of 30 millions polygons with all effects on (that's 80 million with all effects off. So how does this compare with Sony. Well Sony will have a polygon rate of about 20 million polygons with all effects on (about just short of 70 million with all effects off). And Dreamcast sucks so much it can't even compare. So now you know. This means that the Dolphin will have the best in 3D graphic entertainment of all of the next-generation consoles. So is this IGN's secret, well we think so. But we're proud to say that we have released the info before them.

So now you're wondering "Will the Dolphin make the expected release date?" Well we think so. Our insider at Nintendo has confirmed that Nintendo is working hard and has made fast progress in the development of the Dolphin. We will be trying to contact our insider more often to get the latest.

One last note, the Dolphin will also feature a dedicated sound ship that will bring you only the best in next-generation gaming sound quality. Combined (the polygon rate and the dedicated sound chip), the Dolphin will bring you the best in 3D animation and sound quality.

Keep checking back every now and then to get the news before Nintendo, IGN, or Next-Generation do.

a friend saw 33 days till rmbs Christmas and e-mailed me this joke.

Three blondes walk into a bar and ask the bartender for three shots of
tequila. He looks at them and says, "OK," and pours their shots. They
all clink glasses and and yell "33 days!" Then they proceed to slam the
shots, looking very self-satisfied. They look back to the bartender and decide
to order another round. This time they pick up the glasses again and, more
gleefully yell, "33 days!" The bartender finally can't stand wondering
what they are talking about and asks them what they mean by 33 days.
One of the blondes looks at him and says, "Well," looking very smug, "we
just finished a jigsaw puzzle. It took us only 33 days. And on the box it
said 2-4 years!"
