Curse work!!!
Ever since I exited college and entered the nine-to-five, these holiday seasons seem to whisk by without much chance to really enjoy them. Yes, the season is peppered with an assortment of holiday parties and gatherings where you get to make merry with an assortment of friends and neighbors and take stabs at who [...]
TomKat’s hitched. I’ve lost track of Bennifers One through Nine. And please, spare me your tales of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie – that Brangelina is soooooooo last year.

As I posted earlier today, Round 3 saw a tie with Jason and Sean each correctly identifying the 5 celebrity Miis. Joe nailed 4 out of 5 - but was doomed by his bizarre infatuation with post-prison Martha.

Continue reading »As I posted yesterday, Sean was the big winner in the Mii Match - correctly matching 4 out of 5 Miis to their real-life counterparts. I figured I should strike while the iron is hot (read: post some more Miis before I hit my fairly low creative wall) and launch Round II of the Mii [...]
Continue reading »In my last post, I started a little contest to see if my readers could match the Miis I made on my Wii with their real life celebrity or acquaintance counterpart (this is rapidly becoming the craziest sentence I’ve ever written).
A few of you responded (enough for me to crown a winner).
Sean wins the prize, [...]
Sure, the Wii can’t pump 1.21 jigawatts of power like its big brothers, but can the XBox 360 and PS2 serve up a faithful rendition of The Big Lebowski - starring the Wii’s own brand of avatars - the Miis? Pictured above is John Goodman’s Walter - the take no prisoners Vietnam veteran champion bowler. By artfully crafting some Miis [...]
