Yeah, Wolverine is pretty much the main character through the three movies. Well, maybe him or Magneto. Xavier does alright too, and Jean and Storm are given plenty of screen time.

Cyclops is the leader in the comics, but he mostly gets the shaft in the movies, coming across as a jealous jerk or hopelessly dependent on Jean Grey.

DS vs. PSP one year later

I'd say DS hands down.

The PSP may be more powerful, but it's games are mostly just graphically inferior versions of console games, with obvious exceptions like Lumines. It has proven to be rather lack-luster when it comes to FPS controls, too. One good thing, though, is the fighting games. They've been handled a lot better on PSP than on the DS.

The DS, though, has pretty much every other genre in the pocket. Meteos is its answer to PSP's Lumines, and it has a bunch of other good puzzle games like Tetris, Pokemon Trozei, etc. Rayman, Mario 64, and New Super Mario brothers are awesome, and it has games that jsut wouldn't work as well on the PSP, like Phoenix Wright and the Feel the Magic games.

Plus, the DS has possibly the first competitive handheld First Person Shooter in Metroid Prime Hunters. And the DS can play all GBA games, which, kind of rocks.

Of course, I may be biased as my PSP has a freaking dead pixel.

Well, it's like Tennessee with a beach. Except I doubt you've been to Tennessee, so I'm not sure that really helps you. So... Let's see.

In the west part of the state, it's got the appalachain mountains (Which actually start in Great Britain somewhere and go underneath the ocean to the US), and a bunch of small tobacco communities. The middle of the state relatively flat. Raleigh, the capitical, is a really nice town and Duke has a really nice campus.

Actually, I believe TheSessler lives in NC, so he can probably help you better than I can.

I had that happen too. Actually, now that you mention it, my N64 controllers have almost completely broken down. The Blue and Red ones especially. The red one is torn in two in the plastic coating on the cord, and the blue one's joystick is iffy.

Ironcially, the one that works best is the original one that came with the system.

Nintendo's systems are certainly the most durable. And in my house hold, they NEED to be. Electronics and myself have a very violent relationship.

But as I understand it, Nintendo has said that since they don't have the capital of Microsoft or Sony, they aren't going to even try to throw massive resources into a 360 or PS3-like machine--super powerful graphics, HD display, ect. It's not finacially viable for a company whose ONLY product is their gaming hardware and software.

Sony has its other electronics and Microsoft has Windows and Billions of dollars to fall back on. If Nintendo, on the other hand, were to go all out and make a Super Console, and then watch it fail against the others, they'd have a huge financial failure. But innovating with the Wii gives them a unique product so it's an "and" choice instead of an "or" choice, makes it more affordable, and expands the total population of gamers altogether by attracting people who wouldn't normally play.

Does that make sense?
