One of the best consoles I've ever owned. While it is true that there were a lack of good Third Party titles, the fact is that I never buy a Nintendo console for Third Party games.
Nintendo made their fans proud with this console. Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask were WONDERFUL, Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark were stunningly good, and Super Mario 64 just wouldn't stop for me. These few Nintendo games managed to last me until the PS2 and GameCube come out!
Let people say what they want, I love this console!

If only there was a true successor to Super Mario 64.
Unfortunately, Super Mario Sunshine is not it and I'm doubting Super Mario 128.

Get the Nintendo 64mug. That wife of yours who uses the Bible when it fits her needs.
When you bring up the sex issue, she uses the Bible to justify herself. If you point out the flaws in her logic, BAM! You're the devil! If you don't point out the flaws, well, you don't get sex anyway.

Get the Bible Wifemug. An extremely popular website for video game FAQs, cheats, game saves, and etc. While mostly a hang-out for gamers, it is also frequently visited by lovers of anime, wrestling, and etc.
Main Interest:
The best part of GameFAQs (not to mention its namesake and what makes it popular) is the video game FAQs. Containing thousands of guides on various aspects for various games, GameFAQs is basically a heaven for almost anything related to video games.
However, while the FAQs is considered to be the heart and soul of GameFAQs, what truly makes it an exciting place are the message boards. Like all message boards, it has its share of fools, but truth is that a great deal of the board consist of intelligent posters too. Hanging around the message boards of GameFAQs is a virtually guarantee that you'll learn everything you need to know about video games.
The Ugly:
While GameFAQs is truly a wonderful place for gamers, it also has its share of negative aspects, which can be summarized into two words: Moderators and CNET.
CNET - In May, 2003, GameFAQs was bought out by CNET. Users of the website were promised by CNET themselves that GameFAQs would not be changed in any way, shape, or form. However, over the following months, many changes occurred but the vast majority were very small.
One year after the purchase, however, GameFAQs underwent a major change. Aside from receiving a new, more flashy interface, it was also merged with GameSpot's forums (which many original GameFAQs users claimed was the cause of the increase in ignorance among the boards). Regardless, things remained as such until 2006, in which GameFAQs underwent another visual change.
Moderators - To make a long story short, a good deal of GameFAQs hate the moderators, which would explained why (to a new user) so many users doesn't bother to mod topics which violates the ToS of GameFAQs.
Some users feel that the moderators are "blind" (i.e. they believe this is the reason why the vast majority of extremely obvious troll topics are never moderated) while other users become angry with the moderators for what they feel is an unjust mod of their topic or post.
Additionally, some users feel that the contest system on GameFAQs (provided so that users can contest a moderation) is skewed against them. This may or may not be true, but it is true that the contest system outright claims that it is extremely unlikely a contest will be accepted. Though it is not necessarily an indication that the system is skewed against users, users nonetheless received the impression from the message (and often, from the moderators' response to their contest) that the system is, indeed, skewed against them.
---
Overall, GameFAQs is still a wonderful place to talk about video games or to look up help. There are some jerks, fanboys, and trolls on the boards, but truth is that the same goes for any other website. Additionally, the number of these people are very small. The majority of GameFAQs consist of fun-loving users who love their games and is more than willing to help their fellow gamers (or those who simply has a question or two).
Simply put, don't let CNET's love for advertisement and the moderators' rather, er, zealous attitude bring down your enjoyment of GameFAQs and you'll have a good time there.

A: To me, the FAQs is the heart of GameFAQs but the users are the soul. If either one is missing, GameFAQs would lose a big part of itself.
B: A glass of wine, my friends, to the hope that CNET does not add anymore advertisements to GameFAQs nor any other major overhauls.
C: When posting on GameFAQs, it is better to not respond to any moderators you see. This goes for whether they're modding you or whether you just see them posting in a topic. Trust me, this will save you more than a little bit of trouble.

Get the gamefaqsmug. Defined by logical people: Everything men have, women get. Everything women have, men get.
Defined by politicians and women: Everything men have, women get. Everything women have, they keep.

Today, virtually anything exclusive to men (clubs, groups, etc) are being attacked by women's groups for not allowing women, yet there are hundreds of things (colleges, clubs, etc) exclusive to women that weren't even asked to admit men.

Get the women's rightsmug. A female who is constantly on welfare mainly because she is lazy. She certainly has the ability to get a job, but she doesn't because she's lazy. She will make up excuses to justify her horrid behavior, but none cuts it.
Aside from that check she loves so much, it is also likely she is also getting alimony from her children's various fathers, child support payments which she never actually use on her kids, and there's a high chance she might be leeching off of some boyfriend who is idiotic enough to go with her.
The government could easily not waste taxpayers money by not giving her anything to begin with, but she will undoubtedly sue and claim sexual harassment. This is, of course, what she will say to the very end, even in front of a mirror where she knows she's lying the best.
