Nintendo gaming consoles were, for a very long period of time, the monopoly of the gaming industry. However, advances in PC gaming technology, as well as the intergration of the failing Sega company into the growing Sony Playstation market, and the introduction of Microsoft's X-Box, have proven to be potent in a market which Nintendo has been unable to succeed in the past decade... the adolescent market.
Nintendo's marketing strategy consists of gearing itself towards younger gamers, which more child-like titles, while at the same time attempting to win back it's nostalgia fanbase with remakes of classics such as Zelda and Metroid. Unfortunately, in the face of powerhouses such as the GTA series, Halo, and PC titles like Half-Life and pretty much any game Blizzard makes, Nintendo has been unable to compete with Sony and Microsoft.
This has lead to what some people believe the Nintendo Gamecube being the last Nintendo system (much like Sega's Dreamcast). The opposition to this are, the aforementioned 'nostalgia' gamers, who during the late 80's earlier 90's, instead of actually studying in school or working and getting money, played 'The Last Great Console' (NES or SNES, depending on what moron you ask) all day, and are now 30 year old males sitting in their parent's basement longing for the 'good ol days' when game challenges consist of whether or not Mario was going to move the direction you told him to.
Nintendo's latest marketing ploy is the DS, in an attempt to winback the handheld gaming industry in which it has dominated with it's Gameboy. However, heavy advertising and anticipation for Sony's PSP prove to be more than a match for Nintendo.
The 80's are over people. MJ is a pedophile, Alf went back to his planet, and Nintendo is a has-been gaming company.

Nowadays, whenever I visit a friends house, and the idea of playing video games come up, it's either Halo 2, GTA:SA, or a Sony sporting game... not Mario Kart on SNES you imbeciles.

Get the Death of Nintendo mug.A sport invented in Massachusetts, and unlike most other sports, has actually become more masculine over the years, with the introduction of longer shorts.
Basketball went from white people shooting around in thigh-huggers, to black guys slam dunking and laying up in long shorts.

Get the biter mug.A dangerous impedement to getting pussy which can rear it's ugly head in many different forms and situations. To categorize a few...
1) The Third Wheel - A friend of the chick you are trying to get who doesn't want to leave her side, and will not until your target says otherwise.
2) The Lame Duck - When trying to get a slutty girl, a lame duck may be another individual who knows the sluts reputation, and is hanging around her, but is either bogged down in their efforts to spit game, or downright wasting her and your time by not getting any, but instead keeping the slut company.
3) Rich People - Sometimes at a party, those ridiculously rich white kids come down, and since most girls are attracted to money, they start hanging around them. Of course, most rich people who come down to urban parties are there for a bigger reason... to do oxycontin, cocaine, and other garbage and get our females hooked onto it. Definately one of the worst.
4) The Ex - If your potential mate has an Ex-Boyfriend somewhere in the premises, things can get ugly if he's the hothead type. Thankfully, I'm a Marine and could careless about a civilian, but for other people who aren't deadly weapons by law, just keep your eyes out, these morons can not only cock block your entire operation but can get the jump off blown up too.
5) Accidents - Sometimes even your closest buddy might let something stupid slip, like that time you had that threesome with your potential mate's sister. Or it might be a cock blocker letting it slip intentionally. Me and my clique follow a strong code of silence on matters like this, but when it comes to getting the finest bitches, trust can fall like a house of cards in a hurricane.
There are many more you might have the misfortunate of encountering. Just keep smooth casanova and you can sometimes blitz right past them and go straight for it. After that, all you need to worry about is not getting burned.

1) I wanted to talk to that girl alone, but her bitch friend kept hanging around us being a third wheel cock block.
2) That dude keeps trying to holler at that slut but isn't getting any, and I'm the one who called her to come here and give me brains in the first place.
3) I was hollering at this chick when these random white dudes from the sticks came. Next thing I knew, the chick was strung out on coke.
4) I was fingering this chick in the back, when her ex comes in and starts wiling out.
5) I was spitting mad game at this chick, when my drunk ass friend comes over and says "Isn't her sister the girl we gave the goggles too that night?"

Get the ugly car mug.An everyday, unknown face. A civilian is the person infront of you who is obeying the speed limit. A civilian is the fellow at the pizza joint who is looking at you and your friends like you're in the middle of a cocaine deal. A civilian is a person at a party who nobody except like 2 people know, and they may or may not be cock blocking. You can love em or hate em, but you can never get rid of civilians.
I walked into the basketball game, and all the civilians on the bleachers were looking at me because I was in my dress blue uniform.

Get the civilian mug.At night, police cars will sometimes be parked in 'hidden areas', such as behind a billboard or in a parking lot, and will be facing traffic looking for speeders or DWI cases. They may also be parked alongside the road or in the breakdown lane on the highway.
Ghost cars will always have their head lights off, but sometimes the day-running lights will remain on, giving the headlights a light 'ghostly' appearance. It is also sometimes used to refer to any ordinary car driving at night with no headlights or just their dayrunners on, but usually the title is reserved for police vehicles.

I passed under the bridge when I noticed two ghost cars hiding next to it, on the median, each facing a different direction.
