Wii facts, Jack Thompson is the dumbest ‘lawyer’ alive, and more.
December 28th, 2007 by PhilStealing Greg’s format? Don’t mind if I do!
- Let me blow your mind for a second: Amazon sold 17 Wiis per second in 2007. Wait, Amazon had Wiis in stock?
Yeah, I went there.
- Jack Thompson calls out the DoD for forging an ‘unholy alliance’ with videogames. Apparently he’s gone from being cheeky and saying videogames are the devil, to actually believing videogames are the embodiment of Satan on Earth. This guy is a complete nutbar. Also: a liar. (Hey Jacky boy, the VT shooter was not a Counterstrike fan. Stop lying.) GamePolitics has more.
- In case you missed it from when I posted it at midnight: Mayor Haggar piledriving a shark. Why? THERE IS NO WHY.
- This year, instead of traditional charity-giving, give the gift of bees.
- Back to Wii news for a second, Zeller’s stores in Canada appear to have a Wii lightsaber peripheral on sale. Oh HELL yes!
- Did you know Best Buy has a secret in-store-only website that looks identical to the external website except for the prices? If you say ‘well, this costs such-and-such online’ while you’re in the store, they actually pull up the secret website instead and show you the real price, leaving you to conclude you’re in the Twilight Zone. They’ve been called on it before, and, well, it turns out they’re still using it.
- Rudy Giuliani ties Benazir Bhutto’s assassination to the ‘War on Terror’, thus coming dangerously close to making a 9/11 reference. Joe Biden hit this nail on the head: “Rudy Giuliani - there’s only three things he mentions in a sentence; a noun, a verb and ‘9/11′.”
Okay, so the hiatus thing lasted for 1 day. So sue me.
