Nintendo has apparently gotten in on the joke that is the Wii. After recieving over 200,000 emails with let them know that their precious new console is being acquated to urine, it seems that it might be enough to get them to change this incredibly stupid name.
Will they? Hopefully it’s a resounding wii.
Video Games and NASCAR
June 14, 2006
Brad Coleman is 18 years old and only graduated from high school two weeks ago but he is already behind the wheel of a racing car.
He says that he did not get behind the wheel of car until the age of 13, before that he spent lots of time with remote control cars before moving on to racing video games.
He played on Sega, Playstation, Computer and the new systems and he says all helped him get to where his is now and that video games are very helpful if you want to grow up and race in NASCAR.

June 12, 2006
Video game makers lately seem to be noticing that some women do play video games and that it is a sort of untapped market in the sense that there are millions that do not play and so they are trying to figure out a way to get them to buy more games and gaming systems.
I for one love video games and have played them from childhood and well into adulthood. I just recently finished the fourth installment of the CSI games called CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder and have a variety of pc games that I go to when not blogging or watching tv.
While I do enjoy video games I will probably never be the sort of gamer they are looking to snatch up their hot new games. My preferences lean towards walkthrough games such as Mario Bro., Spyro and Crash Bandicoot. I have played some driving games, and flying games but they are not what I would normally play.
I have also played a game I can’t remember the name of, in which I was an assassin and was in Asia trying to take someone out, but I just was never able to sneak the guy past the camera’s, bad guys and eyes in the sky, so I gave up. While I enjoy the movies, I have only played Resident Evil a few times and gave up when my older brother came into the room unexpectedly and I started screaming because of how on edge the game had me. The strange looks my boyfriend gave me didn’t help matters.
So unless they make more Spyro’s and Mario games they are not likely to see me renting or buying tons of video games, regardless of the large campaigns they throw out there.

Detox Clinic For Gamers
June 9, 2006
Alchohol, cigarettes, drugs, even shopping are just a few things that people become addicted to and then there is also gambling but a little known fact that many do not know or understand is that for some people video games can be just as addicting as anything else and just as hard to stop.
A clinic has opened in Amsterdam for just this reason and described that patients go through withdrawals of shaking and sweating if they so much as see a computer screen.
Strange but true. I love my video games as much the next gamer but just not that much.
