I give Nintendo an F for this.
"The Wii Vitality Sensor was announced at E3, but it hasn't been entirely clear what Nintendo's expectations for it are. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime sought to answer some of those questions, likening the confusion people have had over to the Vitality Sensor to that which came after the Nintendo DS was revealed.
"You and I probably had a very similar conversation when we first showed the Nintendo DS: how is it going to work, why a touch screen, voice activation -- I don't get it," Fils-Aime told Fast Company, adding that the same was true for the Wii Remote.
"Until you have that software, it's tough to understand. If I told you that you would be standing on an oversized bathroom scale, and having fun doing it, you probably would have said, "Reggie, I don't get it." And yet here we are with the balance board arguably as the third largest development platform across the globe.""
A touch screen has a very obvious gaming applications, as do motion control devices.
This measures your pulse.
Why do people worship this guy when all he does is spew out such stupid corporate falsehoods? |

Gearing up for Village People: The Videogame Demo 2. Will cover Construction Man mission. It's almost half complete.
I need to know what everyone's biggest issue with the first demo was so I can work to make this one better. Let's hear them. I'll probably take everything into consideration unless it's stupid (I'm not changing the style of humor, especially the puns) |

Started playing Street Fighter 4 again for the first time in a couple months.
Everyone online is an ass. Even in unranked matches PLAY TO WIN people make up about 90% of opponents now. I win more than half the matches I play, but it's BORING to block and dodge fireballs every second of every match. They never mix it up, never switch characters, and it's still hard to beat some of these people because of lag. No one would play like this offline, it wouldn't work.
What I'm saying is "buy a PS3 and play with me." Or wait until the pricedrop/slim model this fall. I want people to fight with and Smash Brothers online play is way, way, way too poor. |

Police Chief is one of the few positive black role models in videogames, every school should give its students a copy of Village People: The Videogame.
The fact that he uses 70's slang doesn't take away from that because the Village People are from the 70's. The sigh and the smug "he's becoming more of a cliche..." in a certain video review was way off. I mean, how often do we even see a videogame hero who upholds the law, treats his fellow man with love and respect, and has an upbeat sense of humor? There's not an ounce of angst in Police Chief. |

The most embarrassing thing: Online RPG terminology. How can you use phrases like "leet purps" and "mobs" without feeling like a bad person? How can you call your online character a "toon" without feeling like you've wasted your life? Tell me these things. |

Up: The dog characters are possibly the most annoying and least funny thing I've seen in any Pixar movie. The rest was golden, even if the resolution with the villain was weak. This movie didn't need a villain at all. |

Palin didn't quit, "She declared her independence from politics as usual." "Politics as usual" being, of course, doing your job. No one likes those people that actually do what they promise to do. Working hard is bad for you! |

I need a couple of people to write some "fake" HamsterSpeak articles with me. I'll give you a topic/title, and you write a review for a game that doesn't exist/feature no one needs! This is a project that will be used for Pepsi Ranger's next Powerstick Man release. Anyone interested? |

Sarah Palin resigned! Also;
"Um, by the way, sure wish folks could ever, ever understand that we ALL could learn so much from someone like Trig - I know he needs me, but I need him even more... what a child can offer to set priorities RIGHT – that time is precious... the world needs more "Trigs", not fewer." |

Suda on the future on No More Heroes:
"In a new interview, Grasshopper CEO Goichi Suda said he wants No More Heroes to continue to grow, but that he feels it needs to go beyond Nintendo's platform to do so.
"I really want to make NMH a big franchise, and with this second episode have bigger success. I'm putting a lot of care into developing this IP, as I feel there's a lot of potential," he told Edge.
However, "I think this is the last NMH that is going to be developed on Wii.""
Well, there goes the franchise I cared most about on this system. |

Miyamoto on the next Zelda: "I don't think it's going to be that radically different"
Hooray I can't wait to pay $50 for the same game I've already played yet again only easier than ever and with more motion controls
I guarantee this game uses the "solve the puzzles for me" thing Nintendo talked about for New Mario Wii. |

I hate sassy t-shirts and anyone who wears them.
Example: "YES THEY'RE NATURAL (small picture of dice below text)"
Anyone who would wear this is a bad person. |

So, which game's going to be worse, Grease: The Video Game, or Fitness Hero?
I also found out there's a game coming out called World War Hero. Let's start appending Hero to the title of every horrible game we release so that stupid people might get confused and buy them thinking they can play them with guitars!
Also, DJ Hero will be "more casual focused," unlike that horribly difficult Guitar Hero that non-gamers never play. Absolutely never! I suggest a casual focused Wii Fit after this, the one Nintendo gave us is TOO hardcore. |

New Dylan album (Together through Life) is great, and it comes with great extras. Well worth buying. It feels lighter than his other modern (meaning the last ten or so years) songs, even though there's some sad stuff here. I've only really given it one good listen, but I'm not crazy for it the way I am for Time out of Mind. Still excellent though. |

Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour is what I've always wanted in a radio show. I wish there were a box set of it that didn't cut his commentaries and jokes, they're the best part.
Having a hard time re-adjusting to the business world after spending three days in the woods. Not too pleased to realize that my sinus problems came back as soon as I got back home. Mountain air was good for me. |

Worst new word: "Twitterverse."
Corporate scum: EA exec.: "We're not trying to sell you a game, we're trying to sell you a store." |

Mr Triangle's Maze: Stage 10 is awful. 12 and 17 are great. Boss fights are very fun. Very pleased overall. Stuck on 21, will try again tomorrow. |
