I can't believe people are still ranting on about the N-Gage = Taco thing. Yeah, that was funny, for about five minutes.
The N-Gage is actually quite a capable, but flawed console. It's really not as hated as most people would like to think, i've seen many people at school who were never interested in the GBA own a N-Gage.

A useless lesson that is compulsory for all students in the UK up until age 16. The lesson consists of participating in sports and activities, such as football, badminton and cross-country.
The lesson isn't even worth anything and is mostly utilised to curb the supposedly growing amounts of fat, unfit little shits of our generation.
What's even worse is a GCSE (and also A-Level) qualification in PE. This is really nothing more than a tiny part of Biology and is only good for becoming a PE teacher, so you can teach more misguided fools how to become PE teachers, and so on. It's a rather dull cycle.

Most students are forced to play sports that they are not interested in, and are no good at. Combine these "useless" players with football geeks and you get a lot of bullying and harassment in PE, over nothing. This is more prevalent in America however, where social classes (such as those jock shitheads) are much more apparent.
Most schools have two hours/lessons of PE a week, but some, such as the prison known as Wreake Valley only have one.

A UK chat community populated by losers looking for a date over the internet, or people who spend every waking hour of their life talking to their buddies who they have never met. To add insult to injury the actual chat client is the buggiest piece of shit I have ever used. It makes getting into your desired chatroom an absolute chore due to the glitchy 20-user limit. (for example, if you can't get into a chatroom because it's full, then it suddenly drops, you still can't get in because it's broken)
The true geeks buy into FP's "Cool Tools", a small upgrade to FP accounts where you can use new icons, see who rated you a gimp, etc. Only the biggest idiot will actually use these tools to good effect - it's a chatroom, I really could care less about what icon I have next to my name. If I want my own icon and customized profile i'll just log onto AIM, thank you very much.

One of the very first 32-bit consoles which was a failure from the start due to the ridiculously high price tag. ($800 for a Panasonic FZ-1)
The 3DO is special in that the 3DO technology was licensed out to other companies in a similar way to DVD and VHS players, and so Sanyo and Goldstar (LG) ended up putting out their own models, and others were planned. (Toshiba, Samsung and AT&T all had 3DO consoles in the making, but all three got scrapped)
The console is certainly capable of PSX level games, however it's biggest flaw was that the console was ahead of it's time - at least 2 years before the PlayStation hit the shelves. People were still playing their Mega Drives and SNESes and generally didn't bother with the high price of the console. Goldstar later released their own version which cut Panasonic's price tag in half, but the 3DO's name was irrepairably tarnished.
3DO hung on as a low-key software publisher, churning out many Army Men sequels for other consoles until they finally went bust in mid-2003.

The console is full of bad games such as the IQ-reducing Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, but there are also some very decent games:
PO'ed
Need for Speed
Road Rash
Star Control 2
StarFighter
FIFA International Soccer
and many more

Shooter for the Sega 32X, unique in that you control a hummingbird rather than a generic space ship. Sounds and looks beautiful, with some fantastic graphics, just like it's cousin Ecco the Dolphin on the Mega Drive. The gameplay tends to be confusing however.
