    Default A confession and an apology

    Never again will I express opinions (negative or otherwise) about a game, system, or whatever that I have not actually used.

    Last Sunday I picked up a Virtual Boy w/Mario Clash (for the low low price of $3!) figuring I would clean it, make sure it works, then bring it to the next trademeet to get something good for it. However, in that process a funny thing happened.... I enjoyed it! I've only played one of the 22 games released for it, but I really really like it!

    So now I must take back all the bad words I've said about the Virtual Boy and slowly chew on them.

    before you apologize ask yourself this, would you still like it that much if you'd paid full retail price for it?

    I love my Virtual Boy but I got it dirt cheap too. Mario Tennis, Warioland and Panic Bomber are pretty fun as well. I think the red graphics are a unique experience.

    It'll give you a headache and make you go cross-eyed but DAMN it is fun!

    I got one for $30 and it was fun while it lasted.. Word to the wise, don't go moving it around much.. the optics on mine went out of alignment just by turning it upside down in a backpack..
    Fear your thoughts because they become your words
    Fear your words because they become your actions
    Fear your actions because they become your habits
    Fear your habits because they become your character
    Fear your character because it becomes your destiny

    Therefore: Thinking and nurturing positive thoughts, at any point in your life, can change your destiny.

    my question is:
    How can you have an opinion about something you haven't tried/done/experienced. Surely you should have kept your mouth shut.

    @tom, I've never tasted feces, but I have a STRONG opinion against eating it. I'm guessing actually munching a turd probably isn't going to change my mind.

    what a strange comparison. Why would you want to eat something non-eadible in the first place??? Or you watch too many German porno films????
