"Short of Sonic's Wii debut later this month and Wario's notable appearance early this year, the console's Q1 release schedule has been decidedly barren."

SSX Blur? Wii Play? I don't know about you but 3.5 (Wii play is like half a game) exclusive titles in a single quarter is not too shabby.

Why does it always seem like the comments on Joystiq are always filled with Sony viral marketers as far as Wii news is concerned?

Hey look it's a Sony Viral Marketer! Did your mom get you a PSP for Christmas?

"Wow, most convoluted naming scheme since Rambo."

Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series is much worse.

Dark Forces
Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

What a ripoff. You gotta pay $20 so that MAYBE you'll get $1,000? 50 entries alone would pay for a single winner, and even if your song is good enough to put in the game, then Konami basically just payed you only a measly $1,000 for your song, much less than what they probably pay for licensing or making any other song on the list.

The problem with having a gay hero but "not making it an issue", is that you really CAN'T. Being gay is not something that you can necessarily tell from the outside. Unless of course you want to make the character overly flamboyant. Then you'd just have some serious problems. Imagine a main character dancing around like a idiot waving a boa around after he blows some guy's head off.

You don't necessarily have the same problem with women. Samus Aran and Jade from BG&E are great examples of female characters where their gender isn't really an issue, because they still kick butt without having sexual overtones. Having a gay character means that you NEED sexual overtones in at least some fashion, because you have to reveal the fact that they're gay. You don't have to reveal that a woman is a woman (unless they're wearing a full body suit with helmt) because you can tell right off the bat.

It was a meme started on 4Chan, which was later popularized through the internet on YTMND.
