Hard News 01/13/09


Today a SWAT Team takes things to seriously, Nintendo brings Wii Music to the classroom, and Sony may be posting some hefty losses this year.

Pretty good hard news

Well, Wii Music finally has a purpose... to inspire kids to move on to real instruments.

What I'd like to know is why

What I'd like to know is why no one is whining about Wii Music the same way they whined about Rock Band and Guitar Hero.

I THouGHT HE WAS SERIOUS LOL

I REaLLY THought they really killed those 2 gamers lol lol he got me good lol

HAHAHA ^_^ he didn't get me

HAHAHA ^_^ he didn't get me for a second, right as he said that my face went like this T_T

Tottally got me...

I was saying "WHAT????"
Thank God they survived, or it would give people even more motives to talk about how dangerous is to play games!

couldn't agree more

HA!!

Nuff Said!!!!

Great, now wii music is a

Great, now wii music is a forced class. Poor kids.

Shit destin got me!
i rule

I think

I think they are going to have to break the on/off button on the wii remotes after getting sick of every smartarse turning the console off and saying their fingers slipped!

Dont you have to hold the button down?

i have to, to turn my wii off with the remote

Yes of course

Yes of course, but I'm kind of getting at that they will be doing it on purpose.

damn you

Wow

Haha, and i thought my sound system was badass!

<Insert subject here>

THAT's how you know.

...And you got me, Destin.
But hey, anything can happen in USland. =)

I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

USland?

I could have sworn he said Copenhagen, Denmark.. which is of course NOT in the US.

You + geography = FAIL.

~It's not that nice guys finish last, it's more like... there's a sniper, hiding in the stadium, and he shoots out the nice guys' kneecaps, so that they can't even run in the race... and then they sick the dogs on 'em~

Seriously, if a Dane wants

Seriously, if a Dane wants to murder other Danes, they come to the US to do it.

Nintendo Nintendo..........

They are trying WAY too hard to promote Wii Music, even though most of the video game industry have called it a failure......

It would have been funny as

It would have been funny as hell if they actually killed the 2 lol jk

Damn you Destin! I trusted you!

You Fiend! I actually belived you...You have lost my trust good sir... (Plus, even though Wii Music sucks,It would still be awsome to play it in school rather then work.)

Ok Destin,

Yes, you got me. I feel ashamed now.

Haven't much about Lair though. Great Hard News!

Holy fuck Denmark police is

Holy fuck Denmark police is wielder than gestapo

Godwin's Law!

You lose the discussion!

ok, that was awesome

ok i just have a few things to say...
1) that is a lot of money Sony is losing, i mean what would u do with that much money?
2) who would be so dumb to put the volume all the way up and either annoy their neighbor or make them self deaf so they cant lesion to anything ever again.

Easy answers

1. That is a lot of money. What would you do with it? Buy the sound system those guys used.

2. Anyone who would blow that kinda money on a sound system that big.

You built that SWAT team story up too well

As soon as i heard where that SWAT story was going i was starting to laugh all the way up until you said they got shot then i was "wait what!?". So, i guess i'm one of the guys you got with that one, way to go.

holy shit

they died WT o wait dang it destin i was about to mute my games for the rest of my life

hummm

now, some kids will actually have something to steal from school

fell free to level me!

Why Wii music!?!?!? what's

Why Wii music!?!?!? what's wrong with Rock band or Guitar hero? :p

Because

They are rated T. And plus, who doesn't want to play great rock classics like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Grandfather's Clock, and that Monkees crap thing? If I bought the game just for Every Breath You Take and September, I would of been happy. Nope.

Damn you Destin...damn you...

You should know better with all your wild antics and often random jokes about articles to not lie about a story like that >=(

Almost Destin.

when you said those guys were dead, I was about to believe it, but just then, the bullshit alarm went off.

damn you playstation why do

damn you playstation why do you have to be so stupid oh and nice work destin you got me

Jesus! I chocked when you

Jesus! I choked when you said two people were killed!!! lol!! destin you bastard! lol

The SWAT is just doing their

The SWAT team is just doing their job although you can imagine what a waste of time and money that was.

Poor guys. It's good to live in a house with no neighbors!

With the economy going in

With the economy going in the crapper, people don't want to pay for the NAME Sony. So people arn't buying Sony Bravia TVs or Sony Cameras. They're going with a more affordable brandname.

Also, Samsung has the market on LCD tvs right now.

I like how everyone just assumes its cause the PS3, or in this case, Lair.

(I'm sure its a part, but not as big as you think, Sony is stills selling PS3s, while their TVs and BluRay players are gathering dust losing sales to Toshiba and Samsung)

Its like saying the 360 gets the RROD because Windows Vista sucks!

True that!

Sony products are just too damn expensive now a day. The only products they are selling however are the Cameras and PS3s. Nothing else they make is worth buying. But I think once the game starts to fill in and we get past e3 this year and nintendo makes another mistake (like the DSi, which will lead to nintendo's downfall) , we should see Sony get out of the red.

if all else fails, they can always just release another shitty spiderman sequal.

Facepalms to Wii Music

I can't believe that music classes are accepting Wii Music to teach kids. Why the hell not Guitar Hero or Rock Band? Guitar Hero, and Rock Band are tons better than that shitty Wii Music.

Pretty simple

Wii Music has more instruments, involves more movement (minus drums from GH and RB), and it won't matter if the kids suck or not. Not to mention that I imagine the songs are more kid-friendly on Wii Music.

None of the games work well as a music simulator, but it makes perfect sense to choose Wii Music from a teacher's perspective.

Plus GH or RB would be way too fun for it to have a class based around it.

Wow....

How about these schools invest in getting there students some real god damn instruments. Besides this is going to be the the reverse of what schools are thinking! Their going to start playing Wii Music, and then once the little school kids realize playing an instrument is harder then flailing a piece of plastic around or that a Dog Suit isn't a fucking instrument they're not going to give a shit.

There's a lot more to Wii

There's a lot more to Wii Music than just "flailing a piece of plastic around." Have you even played the game for any reasonable amount of time to see what you can do? Or did you just read reviews of people who hated it and now feel content follow them like a sheep.

I agree.

I could write a whole blog on this. This game could very easily teach kids to learn how to have rhythm. With some mini games, you have to choose things like what has the highest pitch (which you'll need to understand to be a musician), in the Jam Sessions, if people would JUST FREAKING PRESS THE - BUTTON they'd get some sheet music that would help them with rhythm, and this could really teach kids about rhythmic timing, and overall, the point of the game is to WORK TOGETHER to make a song that DOESN'T SUCK BALLS.

The music only sounds like crap when it comes from people who are flailing like retards because they didn't try or didn't care. It seriously angers me at everyone's ignorance. If you played the game and didn't like it, fine, I have nothing bad to say about you, you at least gave it half a chance. For everyone else, don't formulate an opinion until you actually figure out what the game is trying to do, because it does what it's trying to do very well, thank you very much.

I'm from Denmark myself, and i actually didnt hear about this before just now.. must be pretty fresh news.. i got kinda startled when you said they got shot though, didnt sound alot like danish police men.. though they have been having a lot of fights with hippies lately..

Other than that, I blame Sony's TV business :P
