It's not just sequels. Dishonored did very well.

Every game generation devolves into mostly that situation after a while, as I explained earlier. This generation has just exacerbated that by never ending.

Plus the list of "top franchises" is bigger than you probably think. Saints Row 3, for example, sold over 4 million units.

Finally just got my Wii U online, and it's updating now. It only took so long due to me deciding it was more trouble than it was worth during the work week and not turning it on until today. A quick bit of Googling, plus following the instructions I found at Kotaku, of all places, and it's finally working right. Still, I am left with one question-

What the hell, Nintendo!?

-edit- Update complete! Roughly an hour. Not as bad as I was expecting, based on the comments I'd heard.

Random, Nintendo related: So I thought my N64 was broken, so I gave it a whirl today just to check it out. Holy fuck, does this system suck. Just fucking awful. I can't get over how bad this thing is. The N64 was the system that broke whatever affection I had for Nintendo. So glad I chose a Playstation over the N64 at the time (but sad that I didn't try to scrape together a few bucks to buy a bargain basement Saturn + games).

Continue the on topic Wii U discussion.

I'm trying to find internet that's better than the abysmal service we're getting from this shit ass company Century Link. The internet's down several times a day and the upload rate is terrible. Terrible. Anyway, I think i'm switching to Comcast again, but they're site is such a clusterfuck. Why do internet providers have the worst website? WAHT'S THE DAEL?

Yeah, so there might be a Nintendo commercial on tv right now, but i really don't even like having tv available to me because it's so awful.

I hear cable service is pretty popular though. Kevin's watching football, which is also pretty popular, and he can switch between cameras, pretty nice. Also there are football games on the Wii U. Madden? I don't know, what football games do they make anymore.

About to ride my bike. I put big tires on it.
