JDKJ: Part of the problem is, I believe, that (a) the Army had a lot of time and money already invested in him and which they were unwilling to simply write-off and (b) an increasing need for the type of skills and services he provided.

JDKJ: @chada: And while Kennedy once noted that there's usually more than enough blame for everyone to get a slice, the possibility that the Army was unwilling to cut loose someone who was asking to get cut loose could be a factor.

JDKJ: I know you don't leave your gated community and get around much in dark alleys, so you may be surprised to learn that there's this thing called "the black market" where, if you've got enough money, ain't too much of anything which can't be bought.

Austin_Lewis: the hands of private owners. They run about 300 dollars minimum for a box of 50, and boxes of AP 5.7 are extremely scarce, mainly residing in the hands of Class III stores or individuals who for one reason or another got a demo box of it.

Woops, Looks like someone didnt put BHO for his initials. So, I must say: Lawl, BO.
I have to wonder if there are any Mii versions of Hillary though. It'd probablly be made to look like the devil or something if a gamer made it..Hmm, maybe I should do that.
You can only put 2 initials for a Mii, so that's the closest you can get.
Just what I want, a Mii of a scumbag politician.
Exactly!!!!!
I really want to vote for this man come November. Let's hope the Democrats don't screw it up with the nomination.
I wouldn't download a Mii of him, though.
I don't like him as a canidate, so I'm not downloading him for my Wii.
Really?!?! Wow.
Yea, Really! Imagine that. Someone doesn't want an Elitist, Socialist, Racist prick for a president.
So what are those things? Sort of like a gamer pic for the 360?

Mii's are avatars. That's the best way to describe them I believe.

No. They are just little digital versions of yourself or others you an make on the Wii. They really don't have a point except for Wii Sports.
@Spencer
All politicians are scumbags.
Actually, Mii's can be used in other games as well, the most recent I can think of is Mario Kart Wii.
They make cameos in lots of nintendo games. They're used as avatars for save files in Mario Galaxy, and they show up in "Wario ware:smooth moves" as well. Unfortunately, they only show up in nintendo games, which is kind of a pisser.
The cleverest use of the Barrack Obama Mii I ever saw was in Mario Kart.
In the game you can play as "baby" versions of the nintendo family (Baby mario, baby princess, etc.) someone made "Baby Obama" and raced as him once.
Too cute.
so is hitler.
Its really not that big of a deal
only a few replies in and someone already invoked godwins law. GG.
it wasn't meant to slam him.
i was just making a point.
hillary and bill are popular too.
would it have been better if i said jesus is really popular too?
Godwin's law only really doesn't apply here, given the context.
Good try though.
I must say I'd rather find this mii randomly walking around in the visited mii section than the one I found after a weekend away. Only one came by the whole weekend and who does it happen to be of? Paris Hilton.
My wii has been violated, and it will never be clean again. Even deleting that thing wasn't enough to me.
To be fair, Mr. T Mii seems to be equally popular.
~~All Knowledge is Worth Having~~
I pity the fool that has a Mii T!
They seem like a kind of cool idea. If it was a generic character model thats can be used in most games it'd be fancy although somewhat out of place in resident evil 5... Than again, think of using the paris hilton one & letting her get mauled to death constantly by zombies! Hell if that was possible, I'd probably buy a wii just for it!
I wish more games would utilize Mii characters. I have envisioned an epic RPG game where you choose four Mii characters to embark on an epic quest. The quest would have the characters traveling through different dimensions along the way. The environments would range from things like a fantasy world full of magic to high tech space areas with phazer guns and spaceships. The characters would gain new special abilities as they travel through the games so that as the game progresses, a character would have the choice of using attacks like fireballs and ice swords to plasma rifles and strength enhancing robotic gauntlets. Of course each type of enemy would be more or less susceptible to different kinds of attacks. I will come up with other ideas for environments besides fantasy and space another time. My team would consist of me, Batman, Chuck Norris, and Robocop. I know this is not really related to the topic but I just had to tell somebody about this awesome idea.
Corey, write that down and sell it to a big name game company, you will be rich and i shall have a good game upon my lap.
Thank you! I wonder if there is actually a game company that would be willing to run with this idea. All I really have is the general idea as I have almost no computer technical skills to make it myself. But it would be super fun to play a game like that.
You act as though this is a great revelation. GP has professed quite openly that he considers himself left-of-center (Read: Democrat), and with how critical Hillary Clinton has been of video games, who do you think he leans to? (I guess some would argue that McCain is actually left-of-center, though)
Plus, a McCain Mii would just be hideous. In fact, I'll make this when I get home.
~~All Knowledge is Worth Having~~
Heh. I suppose you're only making that hideos Mii to beat the shit out of it in boxing, or perhaps simply to feel the satisfaction of deleting JC from the (virtual) world.
McCain.exe Battle routine set. Execute!
Slot in battlechip Cannon A!
McCain.exe Deleted!
Megaman.exe obtains battlechip RedPolitic R!
I would pay to see that netbattle!
Nintendo is indeed selling SOME of these on the Virtual Console but not even close to all of them. While i agree in part to his piracy he was filling a market that Nintendo failed to recognize. Maybe someone doesnt want to buy a Wii. maybe they just want a console with 50 - 100 NES games on them?? maybe just maybe?
but no Nintendo wants everyone araba kiralama to buy the Wii. thats their excuse but thats not what copyright is supposed to protect. i am real sure that the makers of 10 yard fight were losing sleep because they were missing out on their $0.00025 worth because they didnt get royalties from this player. *smirk*
my question is, should Super Mario Bros. be banned from public domain forever? isnt 23 years enough time for Nintendo to have made their profits?
If you have followed the Steamboat Willie case regarding Mickey Mouse you can rest in your bed well at night knowing that the MOUSE will still be under copyright law, away from public domain after your great grandchildren are in nursing homes. That is beyond ridiculous dont you think??
Gallagher can araç kiralama say all he wants, but I strongly rent a car believe it's due to his crappy leadership and E3 being a joke. ESA's Board of Directors need to find a way to get out rent a car of this horrid contract with this Bush cronie before there's no one left on the Board.
Btw, I think Atari and Midway will drop out too, but mostly travesti because these guys have done nothing ttnet vitamin or little and need to start saving costs.
YES.
Now I don't have to get off my ass for the important shit anymore!
Whats next, ordering pizza from Xbox live?
Wait... I think that sounds like a good idea.
But I think voting should MAKE you get off your ass, and see outside or a second while you go vote. I mean, your picking the president of the United States of America for God's Sake... least you can do is drive down there and punch out a card.
