1up (http://www.1up.com) is hosting an article (http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3146206&did=1) covering a brief history through the legal battles the gaming industry has endured. It discusses the origin of 3rd party titles, the software licensing that won the NES it's claim to fame, law suits between rival companies, and suits against the industry as a whole.

It covers a lot of interesting history, and exposes some skeletons in closets. Enjoy.

This is a perfect time for a Chuck Norris quote!

Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs.

Looks like baps visited Entensity.net today!


Chuck Norris appeared in the "Street Fighter II" video game, but was removed by Beta Testers because every button caused him to do a roundhouse kick. When asked bout this "glitch," Norris replied, "That's no glitch."

I'm sorry I'm contributing to the thread getting so off topic, but I can't halp myself either :)

Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice.

We've been laughing at these all day...thanks to atrus20 who sent me them.

When Chuck Norris was born, the nurse said, "Holy crap! That's Chuck Norris!" Then she had had sex with him. At that point, she was the third girl he had slept with.

Goddamn... all I hear in general chat in WoW is this Chuck Norris/Vin Diesel bullshit. Don't get me wrong, it's funny the first time but after seeing the masses of 15-year olds spout this crap 24/7 for weeks I get Hulk Smash on sight. Seeing it on my precious EvAv, I damn near shattered my glass against the wall.

Back on topic (kinda), I thought smilies on the front page was a known faux pas, especially when they don't show up.

Smilies removed, sorry for the smilies, I was unaware they didn't show up on the main page

If you unscramble the letters in "Chuck Norris" you get "Huck corn,sir." That is why every fall, Chuck travels to Nebraska and burns the entire state down.

Let that article be a testament to some of Nintendo's less......tasteful business practices.
