DS PictoChat opens pedophile doorway
First it was the Wii and its Opera Browser. Now it’s the DS and PictoChat. Fox News 6 “we need Advertising dollars mad quick” Milwaukee is reporting that PictoChat encourages child molesters to contact your children through their DS. This “story” ranks right up there with my local FOX 25 news at 10, which ran a story two weeks ago about Guitar Hero and how kids were h...
J Allard does Japanese homework on DS (with stand)
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQF5KX6WyqY]No, that’s not J Allard. Simma down now. The reason I posted this today was really to ask this question: Who amongst us uses or plans on using their DS for “other” activities outside gaming (Brain Age, Electroplankton, learning Japanese)? Is this something we’d see predominantly in Japan, or do you think the DS can become ...

Wii and Tupperware
I believe it was my man Denzel Washington who once said, “Tupperware ain’t got nothing on Wii!” before he and Ethan Hawk took out 30 thugs in the movie Training Day, but I could be wrong. What I do know is people are starting a new trend — with the Wii at its center. Kris Smith called it “the equivalent of a man Tupperware party.” In early December, he and a few...

Nintendo’s Wii — the impulse buy
Today, having a product that is so good people cannot help themselves but buy it without thinking of their finances or well being became a bad thing. I’m talking about the term “impulse buy,” because today a Sony exec (see also: barking mad) said the Wii was an impulse buy. “Wii could be considered an impulse buy more than anything else,” said David Karraker, SCEAR...
Penny Arcade covers Reggie’s Assistant
fesworks (our resident gone in 60 seconds podcast ninja) dialed in to the tip line today with this heads up about Penny Arcade: “Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime cuts an imposing figure. Forum denizens are routinely shocked by the adulation this man receives, but if you have ever seen him, it isn’t especially shocking. He seems to project beyond himself, exerting a kind o...
