A motion sensor in front of the theater takes its cues from the movements of the crowd, and the result is the liveliest bunch of people waiting for a movie we’ve ever seen. Sure as hell beats watching an interminable cavalcade of cacophonous commercials after you’ve spent $30 on a couple of movie tickets and the usual mass quantities of popcorn. – Charlie White

Example: “Anyone here going to hit the raid (gym)? I need someone to spot me.”
Example: Murloc villages may not have much variety, but they make for good spexercise

Wii Sports bad for self-esteem

NPR commentator: Wii Sports bad for self-esteem - Joystiq
First Newsweek’s Stephen Levy alleges that Guitar Hero is “dumbing down musicianship,” and now this. NPR commentator Kelly McBride recently aired her fears that Wii Sports is artificially inflating the self-esteem of her Wii-playing children.
This is a pile of bulll; The only people who think that being good at a Wii game means they are going to be good at the real-life equivalent deserve to have low self esteem because they are stewpid.

Here’s some crappy video I shot with my phone of some Wario Ware footage!
Video of the Penny character, who turns out is actually my girlfriend.
Playing Wario Ware requires you to hold the Wii controller in specific ‘forms.’ Here are three videos explaining various forms. Relish in how utterly pornographic they are.

Watching this trailer gives me a number of ideas:
- Cooking/Dance Revolution
- Wii input is needed for Stepmania, BADLY
- Cooking Mama like game for cooking classes in school (yes I think some sort of how to cook/clean/live should be a mandatory class in school) - This is a great possibility for serious games in the future
- The scene in “I Love You Chul-Soo” where the chef cuts his finger
