Wii stampede crushes Joystiq blogger


Joystiq's Blake Snow lost his media badge Friday morning when he was nearly trampled by hundreds of Wii procrastinaters stampeding towards the Nintendo booth. The assumption that the line would thin out on the final day of the expo was apparently shared by a large number of fans -- fans who were suddenly  willing to push, shove and claw their way to a motion sensing controller as the West Hall doors opened. A shaken Blake lost his media badge in the crush, but he was able to...er...trade it for another one that fell to the carpet. He will now be posting as Quang Nguyen.
