About two weeks ago when I was trying to go to sleep it all of a sudden got louder. I don't know why. I've been looking it up, maybe its an ear infection.

Had that too, due to an ear infection. It always comes back in stressful situations. At least I can now hear my own aggression.. because I start hearing that ringing as soon as I start getting angry. :p

Tinnitus

Thats what its been pointing to, but tinnitus is a symptom not a disease itself. Which means this is being cause by something else. Im just hoping its not hearing loss. But given the circumstances it happened it should be the case. Still, I want it checked out.

But...I thought EVERYONE has ringing in their ears. I was told this and i've asked people and they all responded positively. It's barely noticeable in most cases, its so quiet you can't hear it, even in a quiet room unless you focused on it. This was always the case with me. I've had it since I was 5 or something.

Well, did you have lots of stress within the last weeks? This is often the reason for such health problems.

Seems Persona 4 Golden is the only reason to own a Vita at this point. (Monster hunter is on (3)DS as well)

If you know where to look, this is not the case. Some of my favourite games are on the Wii, like Monster Hunter Tri and Okami. Other great Wii games include Donkey Kong Country: Returns, de Blob, Mortal Kombat Armageddon, and so on.

Moreover, let's not diminish how good the main Nintendo titles like Mario, Zelda and Metroid are. Those franchises offer some absolutely brilliant games (and great music too), such as Metroid Prime Trilogy, Zelda Twilight Princess, Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, and of course Super Smash Bros Brawl. Hell, for those franchises alone I think it's already worth buying a Nintendo console.

However, it is true that you're not exactly spoilt for choice, especially if you're gaming for something like 20 hours a week (but mind you, I've logged over 1000 hours on Monster Hunter Tri). You won't find many super-serious adult games like Halo/Assassin's Creed or full-blown open-world adventure games like Skyrim on Nintendo consoles, and more often than not the graphics are below-average at best.

I don't know much about the Wii U but what I do know is that all the people I know who have it think it's awesome, and some good games are coming out on that console too, such as the next Super Smash Bros game and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.

I had a Wii and sold it to buy a SNES (I sold my old one at some time, which was stupid) and the most important games (Secret of Mana, Megaman, Wild Guns, Kirby etc.). This was the best investion ever.

I also have a PSP, a Xbox 360, a DS and so on, but I always end up playing computer instead. It just looks better, I prefer a mouse and a keyboard for shooters, I can still use my 360 controller. When friends visit and we decide to play video games, we end up playing SNES or N64 (Smash Bros., Mario Kart).. maybe some Castle Crashers now and then. It's annoying that I own around 20 Xbox games, but haven't played through one. I just can't motivate myself.

@wandschrank

Yeah, the SNES is truly an epic console and it has a fantastic library. Don't want to sound like a cheesy fuck, but the games made back then actually had more thought put into the game design. If you really have a SNES, I suggest that you get Zombies Ate My Neighbors. It's a fantastic game with a co-op mode.

Thanks, I'm always looking for coop games (that's why I love Wild Guns so much..). I just looked it up, it was released in Europe, too, but it's just called "Zombies" here. The full title was apparently too complex. :p Will get it asap.

Scotch

I had the pleasure of having a few glasses of Johnnie Walker Gold not long ago for the first time. It was excellent. Better than Blue, in my opinion.

Free stuff is always nice... I don't have any idea what's in the pack.. and I won't find out until tomorrow, cause I just got off work, and I open tomorrow... which means I've got 0 time tonight to do much of anything... But either way... free is nice.

So which is it? Invention or Investment

Both! Invention + Investment = Investion!

Concerning scotch: I tried Cardhu 12 yo Single Malt a few weeks ago. Quite interesting.. if you're into single malts.

Can't say I've tried it. However, I am indeed into single malts, straight with no water/ice (blends usually don't do it for me). Glenfiddich or Glenlivet have are pretty high on my list of favorites. On a more practical level, Dewar's or Clan MacGregor will do just fine. :) considering I don't have a ton of money to throw down on scotch.

Yep, that's why I drink scotch only now and then.. it's expensive. I live in a wine region, so I get good wine cheap (apart from beer, which is always cheap and good here).

Cardhu was around 35 bucks for a bottle - Still not expensive compared to others, but expensive enough.

You're all drunks.

Only after 4 PM. Considering it is 10:30 AM right now and there is no Frühschoppen today (an event where people gather in the morning to drink beer), I will be sober for a few more hours!

And I do believe that every time we quote that post of yours, our post will appear in their feeds as well. So let us all unite together and spam their feeds.
