ASCII-based Dwarf Fortress is the future of video games?

I just might have to boot up my windows box to play this game. Yeah, I think I'm going to do that.

Wii is two duct taped Gamecubes and other publisher rants

Soooooo.... Developers can be fan boys, too.

Nintendo expects to double profits this year

All I know is that Wii Sports is more fun, imho, than anything I've played on the 360. And I've put in over 60 hours into oblivion, ranked in the top fifty in Dead Rising, and found all them rotting birds in Condemned.

The day Space Giraffe is released is the day my Atari Jaguar becomes completely obsolete.

Joystiq asks: should Penny Arcade be in the webcomic poll?

In the end, it's just another internet poll with no basis in reality. So keep them in.

Dude, where's my friends? (Wii annoyance #007)

Having traded a wii code, I have to say it takes almost no effort.

A Wii Thanksgiving test on the family: Part 2

I think these approximations you speak of are much more nuanced than you are making them out to be. Let's look how nuanced bowling in wii sports is.

The velocity of one's physical swing determines the velocity of the ball. The amount of phyiscal twist of the controller determines the amount of spin on the ball. The timing of releasing the B button along with the height of the controller determines if the ball is thrown smoothly, lobbed into the air, or somewhere inbetween.

Yes, these are approximations. However, they are very nuanced approximations. Much more than some button presses could ever be.
