We all know it was in dispute for a long time

Active gaming burns more calories, coordination still a concern – Joystiq

But the research has been done!  Being active, even if playing video games, burns more calories that being inactive, even if playing video games!  Scientific texts will have to be rewritten!  New curriculum created to start teaching these REVOLUTIONARY new findings!

Wii want….

orange Alexander … wii death …

Haha, don’t you just love bad pun headlines?  I cannot stand how many people are tossing their Wii-motes!  How are these people even alive?  How is it that they don’t unintentionally let go of the car’s steering wheel while driving?  Especially in games like Wii Tennis.  I mean, do they routinely let their real rackets go while playing actual tennis?  Or is it that 90% of Wii owners have never actually participated in an actual sport….  (I kid… sort of).

All that said, it makes me want this shirt!

I want this

Hot Cooking Mama screens from the oven – Joystiq

Okay a little weak that it’s not some computer AI judging (based on speed, accuracy of cooking time/temps, precise measurement of ingredients, creativity), but rather apparently straightforward speed cooking, but still.  I want this game.  Haha, even makes me want a DS to play that version.  (This game and Nintendogs are the only things that actively make me want a DS).

I think this is short sighted

GigaGamez » Archive » PS3s Being Traded For Wiis

So trading for Wii, eh?  I can’t deny the allure of the Wii, I want one (as much as I fear the novelty will wear off after a week or two).  But to trade the PS3 for a Wii?  I don’t know.  Maybe I’m a Sony whore (I’m not).  Maybe I’m just really into movies (I am) and my tv is a 1080p set so I don’t have to worry about crippled firmware (it is).  Maybe people want the “fun” console in time for Christmas.  But I’d rather the PS3 and bluray movie playback, mmmm…..

wii!!!!

real-time weather use

So wii just released their Weather Channel integration and I just read THIS:

Look at the Weather Channel! Now switch your regoin to a snowy region or rainy region.

Now go play Madden & look at the weather…it WILL BE THE SAME AS WHAT THE WEATHER CHANNEL IS!!!

That is AWESOME! It reminds me of Metropolis Street Racer on Dreamcast, with the real-time location clock. (Or I guess of 24/7 mode on NBA 2k5 or 6.) (By the way, that feature on MSR was the best and probably the biggest “failing” of Project Gotham Racing on Xbox.)
