Knees and Crotches

I've been posting the YouTubey Gameshelf excerpts to BGG and getting lots of hits as a result. Yay. I have also discovered that comments are broken on the new site. Boo. Firebug will help me root it out.

Here's an oldie from 2005. The quippy gameplay between mrmorse and taskboy3000 makes still makes it worth watching, even though the clip's production values are so rough by modern Gameshelf standards. Unscripted er um uh monologues, over-casual wardrobe, and inappropriate furniture leading to lots of frame-centering on knees and crotches.

Check Mii Out

Nintendo's "Check Mii Out" Wii channel is up for free download. I just dumped my BSG and American-politician Miis all over it, and they are now dancing amongst the 1,000,001 Chuck Norris/Darth Vader/Mr. T ones that others have already uploaded. The best of which are actually quite clever, and which I grabbed my own copies of. I laughed out loud at the ingenuity of the Robocop, Mr. Spock, Geordi La Forge and Some-Guy-With-a-Bear-Head ones.

Apparently, of my collection, my Bill Adama Mii has received the most "I like this" votes so far. It and my Laura Roslyn Mii are my two favorite creations. I think Laura is actually my personal favorite, but I can see any population of video gamers favoring ol' Bill. (In my version he is sporting his Flashback Mustache.)

If I knew how to link to my entries I would, but I'm guessing there's no easy way. Nintendo continues to favor the isolationist approach to online play. Meh!
