The Curious Case of the Wii
Jun 15th
After 19 months, the Wii is still hard to find. I’m not aware of any stores nearby that have stock for long after getting a shipment. There is economics at work here, plus the allure of a popular, hard to get item, but there’s more to it. Nintendo is making tons of Wiis. With worldwide sales of above 27 million, they’ve sold more than twice that of the PS3 and even about 50% more than the Xbox 360, which had a year head start in sales.

My Hero
Jun 6th
I can’t not post this. iamchris4life has finally done it. He FC’ed Through the Fire and Flames in Guitar Hero III on expert, the first person ever to do so. (That means he finished the hardest guitar hero song ever, perfectly, no missed notes and no extra notes) He’s been working on this for several months now. The Guiness Book of World Records needs to update it’s 2008 book now that iamchris4life destroyed his previous score. The necessary proof follows. The freaking out after finishing is priceless.
Guitar Hero Robot
