This is REALLY mundane, but I just wanted to say I got a Nintendo GameCube. I’ve played it against Micro$oft’s X-Box, and well…Cube is a lot better. I know most of you dont give a crap, but…well, I do! so…yeaaaaa, I told it anyway. I recomend anyone who likes playing video games to go get a GC and Rouge Leader!

Where’s the best [sub]and by best I mean cheapest[/sub] place to get a Game Cube? I knew they’d be better…

Do they have support for older Nintendo System cartridges? Probably not.

I’m not too interested in how it compares to anything, i know it’ll be the best 😉

Well hell. I came in here all inquisitive as to how and why somebody got their hands on a Gas Chromatograph, and find out GC now means GameCube. Humph.

I played on a Gas Chromatograph for three years with three different employers. It was fun in it’s own way, but I think the Game Cube can offer a lot more thrills.
