	(update): So I went back and read this and I'm just shamed.  Shamed.
This is the level of desperation that we sunk to back in "the day," if by 
"the day" you're really saying "the day when we were really fucking desperate
and would take a piece of used toilet paper as a submission if the person
who shat on it said our site was cool and offered us a link."  Since then,
we haven't really gotten much pickier, but instead we just never get around
to posting any submissions people give us due to laziness.  Ha ha haaampgh I
guess joke is just them.

ORIGINAL MESSAGE:

	(WrexSoul): So the other day I was talking to this guy who was going 
to get us the Megaman X2 and X3 soundtracks.  Cool.  Then he decided to write 
us an article.  Even cooler.  So now in a fit of restless sleep you get to 
see the kind of thing that people send us at 3 AM.  Also, if you use a secret 
ASCII decoding program, you can make out the images of two chocobos
fornicating with a man and his clone.  Indeed, the wonders never cease.

	Why N64 is ultimately doomed, and PS2 will outsell Dolphin, despite 
technological advancments.

	Oh yes, the Nintendo fan is weeping. He's making SadBot look like a 
valley girl at the mall. As a longtime, unsettlingly hardcore nintendo fan, 
I'm sorry to say, that with the pending release of the Next-Gen consoles, 
Sony will ultimately outsell our friends at Pretendo. And here's why; Despite 
Nintendo's constant efforts on getting some damn Third party backup, they 
made a huge mistake... They stuck with silicon carts... Can we say... MORON? 
Ok, even better, we can invent a nice little phrase to use! Lets say they... 
Pulled a Pikachu! Yeah, what better then to poke fun (AUGGH! PUN!) at that 
damn little rodent, that makes real men cringe across the country with its 
nausiating cuteness, and horrifiyng homosexual tendancies! And all the 
developers got sticks up thier asses, (For good reason.) about Nintendo 
sticking with the carts, due to the cost of printing the little bastards. 
Well, Nintendo, with thier new system far on the horizon, codenamed "Dolphin", 
although superior to the PS2 in graphical capabilities, due to its SRAM 
compression technologies, which compress RAM 8 times faster from a graphical 
standpoint, and its tiny little fingernail of a chip, the Gekko processors. 
Sony's system, using a standard 400 MHZ processor, like Dolphin, lacks a bit 
of the funny doodads and boontibs of the Dolphin, but due to PSX's huge fan 
base, and the fan base that will GROW as soon as the PS2 is released, Dolphins 
lesser advancements over the PS2 will probably not be enough to give it a 
user edge. PS2 will have far too many fans and awesome games by then, and l
et's not forget its handy dandy backwards compatibility and DVD spewing 
powers! What? Did someone say X-Box? Did someone say DREAMCAST? I've heard 
enough lip from the peanut gallery, back to the stall with you, piggies! My 
take on this? Buy both, if you have the cash! And WHERE THE HELL IS MY METROID 
SEQUEL!?! Nintendo pulled a Pikachu.
