'Serious Android Battleground'? I think not. Consider the G1 isn't retailing here :(.

Wii Cricket!

@ athousandleaves:
Fiest do video clips like this, http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=p8Z-DIAthbM

... So it recommend you vote for the 'other party' then?

Being an Australian, I think a Gallipoli Campaign/ANZAC timeline would be great. There's already a lot of material out there on the subject, and IW could weave quite the story out of it I'm sure.

That purple/blue enter key is somehow so comforting. Wonder if it's changed in thinkpad's long history.

Get on it, Engadget!

Edutainment hasn't worked particularly well in the past (with a few notable exceptions). It's not easy to make these things fun, and requires a mammoth investment from developers, one that (from a business perspective) would better spent elsewhere.

Guitar Hero works because it isn't intimidating, you present someone with 5 buttons - fine. 6 strings - too intimidating. The whole idea behind the Wii/remote was to reduce the intimidation of video games themselves. Strapping it on as an extension of another (itself complex) tool and increasing that complexity is only going narrow the market further, not widen it.

Kudos to this guy in the video though. Great idea/execution. Experimental music is awesome.

You're entirely right. I'm amazed at how it stacks up to CoD4, it's like a step backward.

I must say though, It was gorgeous when taking damage. Perfect execution there.

XKCD's art is beautiful.

Yay for some Harvey Danger love, Cream and Bastards is great, but no Flagpole Sitta?

Who can resist singing to that?
