Wii Numbers Aren't so Wee

I've added my Wii Number (1644 7856 0826 9371) to the modules in the right gutter, below my Xbox and Zune cards. I'm guessing I won't be creating a friends list as quickly and easily as I did on Xbox Live simply because Nintendo's 16-digit sequence is more like a credit card number than a Gamertag.
Whee Remote

Nintendo began offering Wii Remote wrist strap replacements, today, after reports that the straps break during gameplay sending errant WiiMotes on a collision course with TV screens. Has there ever been a more text-book example of irony then the Wii Remote going whee?
The Xbox 360 Microcosm Theory
Published: December 10, 2005 at 2:31 AM
So there are a lot of people out running around in circles trying to get their hands on an Xbox 360 (got mine suckas!). As you'd expect the media is buzzing around the 360 story like flies on shit. The thing is, most of what's being reported is wrong, not to mention predominately negative. Ready for a dose of reality my communist liberal comrades?
You know at some point or another you've read that; Microsoft is creating intentional shortages, the system is freezing, the DVD drive scratches game discs, there has been a recall, etc. Have you read anything about someone playing the 360 on their 42-inch Panasonic TV at 720p HD? How about someone connecting to their Media Center PC and streaming their music collection via the 360 to their all Digital home theater receiver? I bet you haven't read anything of the sort; though I'm sure you know all the details about the guy in Illinois who's suing Microsoft because his 360 failed.
My point is if the media can't give you an unbiased factual story that covers both perspectives, factoring both negative and positive, about the Xbox 360 how can you believe anything being reported about the war in Iraq?
Are you telling me our troops haven't completed a single successful task since we liberated Iraq? Why isn't anyone asking our soldiers how they think things are going? Why do the Democrats refuse to face the reality that their jockying for political power is a demoralizing slap in the face to our troops? Most importantly, why isn't their someone, in the mainstream media, who isn't afraid to give a truthful, unbiased report about Iraq? Simple - it's the ratings, stupid.
