OK, guys, the whole "I'm writing on the Wii" joke is really, really stale now.
Also, is it just hard to find, or have you not said anything about PS3 GAMES??

Best. Joystiq. Weekend. Evar.
Plus I got GoW, so all's good. :D

I doubt that buyer will pay the 9grand, notice the bidders (almost) all had

Haha, man, even with all bitterness I developed regarding a couple certain posts... I have to agree, its been one of Joystiq's best, overall. It's been INTERESTING. 20+ comment confirmations from the past 2 days in my mailbox say so.

Please stop writing on the Wii - it makes the baby Mario cry ;_;
If I promise not to draw derrogatory things on the PS3 with a Silver Sharpie, can we reach an accord?

Oh boy, will there be more of the Vlad Cole Wankathon soon? I can't wait for him to wank some more! Maybe he'll say something edgy, like claiming a well-respected series fails due to a minor imperfection! Oh, that wacky, wanky Vlad!
pointfour @ Nov 13th 2006 6:40AM
Am I the only one who doesn't think Vlad is shit? Always quite liked his stuff actually, even though I don't always agree with it. Really, Joystiq's done a good job this weekend, and I imagine most the people complaining are just jealous.
If you don't like Joystiq, fine. Go read some other site, or at least stop bothering to comment. Please.

Oh men i wish at least i could have one "writing wii" i can wait.
ConstyXIV @ Nov 13th 2006 10:24AM
Speaking of writing on the Wii, will it be possible to sketch on messages for the Wii Message Board? If it is, show us! If not, tell your NoA rep to make it so!

How do you rotate the Playstation 3 logo on the PS3?

"OK, guys, the whole "I'm writing on the Wii" joke is really, really stale now"
Don't expect them to stop. With an editor moving onto a job at MS don't expect anything unbiased.
You won't see them use the PS3 to grill burgers or the HD-DVD as a door stop, but they'll do whatever they can to lower the value of the Wii.

My friends and I are getting a kick out of the Wii as a whiteboard. I can't wait to take my whiteboard markers to it for fun. I honestly don't think they're poking fun at the system by doing it, it appears they're getting a kick out of it for real.
I understand being a fan of the system, as I am a huge fan and can't wait to get it, but we can't view every little thing that any of these online blog and news sites do as an attack on the system.... they're just having some fun guys!
