In my eyes, a "hardcore" gamer is someone who plays solely for the sake of gaming and having fun while doing it.
CoD is even more casual than Wii Sports from my point of view. The casual gamers playing Wii Sports might not care about gaming at all, but they're having fun while gaming. Everyone I know who plays CoD thinks of people who don't like CoD or Battlefield as "nerds". Thus, they don't play because of wanting to play games, they play for the coolness factor of FPS's while denying that they're gamers themselves. This is not casual gaming, it's even worse, it's the betrayal of gaming. And that makes them not even a bit hardcore at all. Well, maybe hardcore dumb.
If you're looking for real hardcore games though, games with a high difficulty, with a good gameplay, with huge worlds, count me in.
And no, I'm not a philosopher.

Not a Game and Watch version.
There was no Mario Kart Arcade, too

Who doesn't like the story of Kvothe, a tragic antihero: A boy whose parents die by the hands of a group of people thought to be fairytales; a student who discovers that there are things and beings in this world, long forgotten by most; a magician who turns the world upside down in his quest for revenge; a man that could have gained everything, but ended up losing even his own identity! Admit that sounds good! Let me kvothe (see what I did there) the excerpt from book one available on Pat's blog:
My name is Kvothe, pronounced nearly the same as "quothe." Names are important as they tell you a great deal about a person. I've had more names than anyone has a right to. The Adem call me Maedre. Which, depending on how it's spoken, can mean The Flame, The Thunder, or The Broken Tree.
"The Flame" is obvious if you've ever seen me. I have red hair, bright. If I had been born a couple of hundred years ago I would probably have been burned as a demon. I keep it short but it's unruly. When left to its own devices, it sticks up and makes me look as if I have been set afire.
"The Thunder" I attribute to a strong baritone and a great deal of stage training at an early age.
I've never thought of "The Broken Tree" as very significant. Although in retrospect, I suppose it could be considered at least partially prophetic.
My first mentor called me E'lir because I was clever and I knew it. My first real lover called me Dulator because she liked the sound of it. I have been called Shadicar, Lightfinger, and Six-String. I have been called Kvothe the Bloodless, Kvothe the Arcane, and Kvothe Kingkiller. I have earned those names. Bought and paid for them.
But I was brought up as Kvothe. My father once told me it meant "to know."
I have, of course, been called many other things. Most of them uncouth, although very few were unearned.
I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep.
You may have heard of me.
read it! Read It! READ IT!

#4709 WiiU 's AMD GPU supports Eyefinity

Doing some quick calculations, streaming a 1280x720 image to the controller at 60 FPS will require roughly 158 MB of bandwidth per second. Add a fairly standard 16-bit 44100 Hz stream of stereo sound to that, as well as sensor, touchscreen, and button readings, and we're at around 160 MB per second, give or take a megabyte.
I'm no expert, but wouldn't streaming a 1280x720 image at 60 FPS and 32-bit color depth require 210.94 MBps?
On the other hand, if we take the rumored 854x480 screen and stream a video signal with 30 FPS and 16-bit color depth, it would need 23.46 MBps for the video. This way you could even use 5 WiiUMotes at the same time.
Wait a second. I'm definitely doing it wrong, because I calculated that you would need 0.46 GBps for Full HD video at 60 FPS and 32 bit color. That would be 1668.55 GB for one hour - this just can't be!
Does someone know how to properly calculate the bandwidth needed to stream a video signal?
EDIT: By the way, a 1920x1080 screen has 2,073,600 pixels, 4 854x480 screens have 409,920*4 = 1,639,680 pixels. The total pixel count would be 3,713,280 pixels. With 60 FPS and 32-bit color depth, 0.83 GB of data every second - if my method of calculating this is right, of course
EDIT2: Wait a second, the rumored screen size of 854x480 hasn't been mentioned here yet, right? Anyways, now it has
#4613 WiiU 's AMD GPU supports Eyefinity

In this press release, AMD mentions the custom Radeon HD GPU made for the WiiU to have "...high-definition graphics support; rich multimedia acceleration and playback; and multiple display support."
The multiple display support hints at Eyefinity, which is a feature of 5XXX or newer Radeon HD cards.
Because the GPU Nintendo uses is a custom one, it may still be that they took a 4XXX Radeon HD card and modified it to use Eyefinity, but that's unlikely as the 5XXX series uses less power at a similar performance. And by the way, Eyefinity supports up to 6 screens AFAIK, so we can still hope for the WiiU to allow more than one/two new controllers at the same time...

#6746 Skyward Sword coming 9/25/2011 ?

but why do you think the game is going to disappoint???
Don't know about Jabob, but my own hype got washed away by the WiiU tech demo. I know that Skyward Sword's gameplay is going to be extremely awesome, but somehow, I don't look forward to it as much as I did before seeing the tech demo.
Oh, forget it, just talking about it hypes me up, I can't wait anymore! Bring it on, Nintendo!
Funny how it already got reviewed 4 times.
On topic, I think that they should be ready by now. I mean, wasn't there an interview a long time ago where either Miyamoto or Aonuma said that they would have been ready if they hadn't changed the art style? And that the art style change took them one year of developing time? Well, since I don't remember anything more about it, this interview could very well date one year back, in which case they should be nearing completion soon.
