jbanes Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Business Week interviewed Shigeru Miyamoto and veteran designer Ken'ichiro Ashida to obtain a bit of "behind the scenes" info on the Wii's development history. An interesting read. http://www.businessweek.com/technology/con...1116_750580.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starscream Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I just read this and came to post the link. Interesting for sure. They sure love moms huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Instead of MILF we'd have MILPWW (Mom I'd Like to Play Wii With) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Master Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I just read this and came to post the link. Interesting for sure. They sure love moms huh? I can see the logic behind it, actually. If you're going to market to older adults, then you need something that doesn't have a lot of wires, buttons, etc. You need simplicity. And moms are usually the ones to buy their kids these game systems. So I can really see the reasons. It also helps gamers, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbanes Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 And moms are usually the ones to buy their kids these game systems. So I can really see the reasons. Moms don't necessarily buy the systems, but they are usually the guardian of the bank account. As just about any married man can tell you, you need permission from the lady of the house before you make a major purchase. So making the system appeal to "mom" is a good way of bypassing that little problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy makes the money, the woman spends it. It's pretty much how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way. you just gotta keep your beotch in check. Get your bitch ass in the kitchen and bake me a pie!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbanes Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 (edited) No way. you just gotta keep your beotch in check.Get your bitch ass in the kitchen and bake me a pie!" End Result: No Pie. I, on the other hand, am kind to my wife and consult her on all decision making. Even those items that don't directly affect her. End Result: Lots of pie. Cheesecake, Lemon Merengue, Pumpkin, Coconut Creme, etc. All lovingly baked with fresh ingredients rather than mixes. And those aren't the only perks... Edit: Besides, I can't describe how nice it is to not be the balancing the checkbook. She's much better at it then I ever was.

Starscream Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 See, you probably ask for things. I just tell. I do that with everything. I mean to disrespect when I do it, but, I like to get things done. No point in playing around just to buy something or do something. And I cook, clean, do laundry, anything electical, carpenter work, car repairs, etc. That way, when she does get sick of my shit, I am fully self sustained Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE146 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 (edited) I'm married. I control the finances.
