Nintendo is just such a weird bird to me now. NES and SNES were juggernauts. Then they pissed it all away. And now, its like they don't even want to try to compete. Its more like they keep wanting to make a whole different game that only they can play in. Maybe its a Japanese market thing.

99 Problems (2004 song): How valid is the implied legal advice in Jay-Z's "99 Problems"?
Fairly valid, although it depends on the state; I'm not familiar with the laws of 1994, and the location is unspecified, but from the video, possibly Brooklyn, NY.
Here's my take on the song:
The year is ninety-four, in my trunk is raw
In my rear-view mirror is the motherfuckin' law
Got two choices y'all, pull over the car or (hmm)
bounce on the Devil, put the pedal to the floor
And I ain't tryin' to see no highway chase with Jake
Plus I got a few dollars, I can fight the case
Not running from the police seems like excellent advice.
So I, pull over to the side of the road
"Son, do you know why I'm stoppin' you for?"
Cause I'm young and I'm black and my hat's real low
Or do I look like a mindreader, sir? I don't know
Am I under arrest or should I guess some more?
In general, not volunteering information at a traffic stop is great advice.
"Well you was doin fifty-five in the fifty-four;
license and registration and step out of the car --
are you carryin a weapon on you? I know a lot of you are"
I ain't steppin out of shit, all my papers legit
Unless the cop can testify to reasonable suspicion [RS] that the defendant is armed -- in which case he can search the driver and immediate vicinity for weapons for self protection -- you shouldn't need to get out of the car. Pushing back on this makes sense, if only to ensure whatever RS grounds would be documented, so they can get the case thrown out later. If the RS was invalid or not present, all evidence coming after that is "fruit of the poisoned tree" and discarded.
"Well do you mind if I look around the car a little bit?"
Well my glove compartment is locked, so is the trunk in the back
And I know my rights, so you gon' need a warrant for that
Consenting to a voluntary search is never a good idea, especially if you have felony weight on you. The standard to search the glove compartment is actually fairly low in California, since it's accessible to the driver. Even though it is locked, the tenth circuit court of appeals has found that during a protective search of the vehicle (i.e., looking for weapons with RS), the glove box can be searched since it being locked may not prevent the driver from gaining control of a weapon. (1) The trunk can be opened if the car is impounded, for inventory reasons, which is a common way to get evidence. However, a locked case inside the trunk will not be opened (depends on the state).
"Aren't you sharp as a tack! You some type of lawyer or somethin, somebody important or somethin?"
Child I ain't passed the bar, but I know a little bit
Enough that you won't illegally search my shit
"Well we'll see how smart you are when the canine comes"
A canine can only be used during a routine traffic stop if it doesn't unduly delay the driver -- it's reasonable to walk back to your cruiser to get a dog, but you can't wait to call one in. This all goes out the window if reasonable suspicion is developed.

Safety razor, badger hair brush and sandalwood shave cream came in the mail today.
Its made out of stainless steel, and actually takes a razor blade.
Amazing.
Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.

Indeed their first screwup was not going with disc based media on the N64
And I assume a nonstandard disc format and controller setup didn't help the cube.

Nintendo also has some serious problems with competing in the new market. Sony and Microsoft have very deep pockets and were willing to make high end systems and sell them at a a loss just to buy up marketshare. Nintendo doesn't have the resources to do that.

But they don't even have to compete with X-Box in Japan. I wonder how much American markets effect decisions.

Also, I never played WW; I skipped the 'cube, missed that whole set of games. The only one I think I really missed was WW.
Thats unlikley, although it would be awesome

I regularly play 4 person Mario Tennis 64 games. It's still great
maybe i'm streaming terrible dj right now if i am its here
The 3DS is certainly a misstep, but I don't see their dominance of the handheld market going away any time soon.
i dont know deeb
is it?
But it makes sence for them have a smallish team do that and release it while you take longer on a new Zelda
But they don't even have to compete with X-Box in Japan. I wonder how much American markets effect decisions.
I asked you first...
or third...
or fifth if you're counting question marks...
so I have to take all my rollover vacation from last year + the vacation I accrue this year before 2014
how am I going to take 6 weeks off?
Finding one with a smooth analog stick is heavenly but also so rare. So rare
maybe i'm streaming terrible dj right now if i am its here
1 week off 2 weeks on spend lots of time with Sawyer
step 1: do not go to work
Take wife on euro sexcation.
leave sawyer at home with a basin of water and opened cans of baby food in his feeding corner.
the stand alone handheld is a pretty much dead market. The vast majority of people are fine with angry birds on their phone.
dsk blaze de fiya make it bun dem
I will cut you.
is this true in japan?
The same way I as a Filthy Eurosocialist do: No five day work weeks after halloween and two to three weeks off at Christmas.
Or quality time with Sawyer is a good idea too.
There are literally too many games for me to play.
I will never have the time to play all the games i want to play.
