We received some Pre-E3 media assets tonight of a Wii game. The game is called "_____ Wii" and is copyrighted as such, so unless the developers are lying to us too, or Nintendo is lying to them, I think we can safely say that this name is here to stay.

So embrace the Wii.

YOu people are fools.

Blindly following word, and word only.


There is no wii.

Wii does not exist, wii is all in your head.

Just got an E3 Insider report. The next installment in the popular franchise, Super Smash Bros. is set for development on the Wii console. I can't much else but I will toss a clue your way:

Fist = Wii-troller

I just thumbnailed it to maintain the 'horizontal-ness' of my browser window.

I despise side scrolling!

That's the best post I've read in a while.

Hogen, a Chinese Zen teacher, lived alone in a small temple in the country. One day four traveling monks appeared and asked if they might make a fire in his yard to warm themselves.

While they were building the fire, Hogen heard them arguing about subjectivity and objectivity. He joined them and said: "There is a big stone. Do you consider it to be inside or outside your mind?"

One of the monks replied: "From the Buddhist viewpoint everything is an objectification of mind, so I would say that the stone is inside my mind."

"Your head must feel very heavy," observed Hogen, "if you are carrying around a stone like that in your mind."
