Gamecube Had Its Moments
"GameCube Sucks!!!" How many times have we heard Tork say that now? (If you said anything less than 192, you're WAY off.) But what's this? Tork finds 7 reasons it's not all bad?

I think this has been done before, but so what.
Going through my Gamecube library this past weekend, I realized that under the gay things Nintendo has done to sabotage GC, there were some good times too:
1. Launch day - Super Monkey Ball/Wave Race
As we all realize now, Monkey Ball was more addictive than crack, one hell of a sleeper game. And who could forget the first time water splashed up against the screen and dripped down in your first Wave Race in a thunderstorm?
2. December 3rd, 2001- Smash Bros. Melee
That day was on my calendar and will forever live in my head. The sequel/update to one of my fav N64 games. IRC rooms and even Nbrid was a ghost town as we all played through it to get all the characters/trophies/challenges we could unlock. (In 2001 IRC and Nbrid normally weren't empty places.) Thanks to Melee's gay spontaneuous autosave, me and my corrupted memory card played through it 1.5 times!
3. Spring 2002 - Bomberman Generation!
The Great Gamecube Game Drought after Melee was brought to an end by Bomberman Generation. A mix of the cool, fun Bomberman adventure-style single player play from the N64 games, and creative new multiplayer Bomberman modes. Two words: COIN BATTLE!!! And if you're anal about getting 100% completion, there was a fake Pokemon minigame that is too big to be called mini. I see why this game still retails for $50.
4. Spring 2002 - Bloody Roar: Primal Fury
Sure, it was the first Bloody Roar game without BLOOD, but it was also the first BR on a non-Sony console as well as the first one with decent graphics! And don't forget, it was a FIGHTING GAME on GAMECUBE!
5. Fall 2002 - Timesplitters 2
A FPS where you can make your own maps AND EVEN SINGLE-PLAYER, MISSION-BASED LEVELS. Stalwart XL reincarnated. Nuff said.
6. Fall 2002 - Capcom Vs SNK 2:EO
A CAPCOM FIGHTING GAME ON A NINTENDO SYSTEM! N64 never got one! And this was a EXCLUSIVE version designed for the GC controller. Yeah it was EXCLUSIVE!!!! even though three weeks later it was released on Xbox....LIVE!!!!
7. Fall 2003 - Soul Calibur 2
Namco made Lizardman the final and hardest character to unlock...because everybody knows he's the best. Lizardman's the reason I bought. (Editor's Note: Bought what now? SC II? SC? DC? What exactly?)
Notice how Mario Sunshine, Wind Waker, Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing, and Metroid Prime are NOT mentioned. Why? Because they're GAY!
