Yea, as a casual gamer, my first Wii experience won me over. Got $100 by winning a bet-friends thought I wouldn't be able to get one (this was back in December) then there was that snow storm on a Saturday... made things way easier, I was the second person in line at Target, 20 minutes before opening.
ahhhhh a thousand times more excited than i will admit to folks IRL
i got a job in new york,
a fuckin sweet job
but not so sweet that i will forgo plans for grad school/institutional brilliance/eventual dream of being a 'public intellectual'

Simakos,
Want to come over and drink Dr. Pepper and play Mario Kart for Wii? If you hang around long enough, we could even play Rock Band and then watch some public access television.
(on a related note, the Wii tracks all of your activity that you do on said Wii...well, I was going through it the other day and apparently my one roommate played Mario Kart Saturday for just under nine hours. What makes this number so absolutely disgusting is that his girlfriend was over all weekend. And I only saw her play Kart maybe for like 30 minutes or so of the little time I was home....just gross)

it's a date.
i see what you are saying about that game sucking you in. i played Mario Karts for like 4 hours yesterday at my friend's house. i haven't had that can't-resist-must-keep-playing-this-game-feeling since my days of playing Street Fighter 2 back in the early 90's. it scared the shit out of me.
i think i just decided i WILL NOT buy a Wii.

I've only played the beanbag game once. My first throw from 40 feet away or whatever it is... right through the hole. That was enough for me.
Since then I've only seen high schoolers playing it in driveways and in mall parking lots and I get the impression that they're all ex footballplayers/cheerleaders and future frat/sorority kids who really love Facebook, Buffalo Wild Wings, and "totally getting wasted!" whenever they can.
Has simakos industries been building them? I hope not. I mean, if you can sell them that's great but I've seen so many signs for them for sale over the past year that it's really been depressing. I don't think anyone's buying and it's just a sign of how desperate people are right now.

i could just see myself interviewing at a furniture design company and pulling out my portfolio of bean-bag games. ha.it is totally a meat-head game, i admit. but when your camping or at a backyard bbq or something it can be pretty fun. it's basically a safer and more pussy version of horseshoes, which is a great game.
I bet those assholes that took a screwdriver to Stonehenge hate beanbags too. And shorts. And birthdays.

Dog Pack Attacks Gator In Florida
At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty, and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty.
The alligator, one of the oldest and ultimate predators, normally considered the 'apex predator', can still fall victim to implemented 'team work' strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and 'survival of the pack mentality' bred into the canines.
See the remarkable photograph below courtesy of Nature Magazine. Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the gator preventing it from breathing, while another dog has a hold on the tail to keep it from thrashing.
The third dog attacks the soft underbelly of the gator.
Not for the squeamish !!

Conhole is enjoyed by many a douchebag, but as others have said, it's an awesome backyard bbq game regardless. As opposed to Golden Tee, which is enjoyed by douchebags and terrible.

horseshoes > bocce ball >> bags
If necessary, it does in a pinch (i.e., sidewalks/alleys), but a backyard set up for bbq should have space for bocce, which is far superior.
They're building a set for that Johnny Depp/Dillinger movie right outside of my apartment.
Ughhhhh so many teamsters sitting around spitting on things and rubes taking cell phone pictures. I'd feel so much better about everything if this was at least a Bollywood version of Dillinger's life.

For the cost of a vintage/restored Robotron arcade cabinet, you could probably get a Williams multi-game or a MAME cabinet. Sorry if that makes no sense. Basically, you'd get more games in one cabinet for the price of one. But none of those options are cheap. How about this: let's roll our own MAME. You handle the woodworking, I'll handle software & electronics.
You know what they need? Wii Robotron with one wireless thingie for each hand. Or maybe not. Just an idea.
Wii Robotron? you just blew my mind.
no, i know about mames, mister. i was actually playing a cabinet mame last week and was heartbroken because we couldn't play robotron. the 2 joysticks weren't configured properly.
i did play elevator action, dig dug, star castle, and donkey kong jr. though.
this isn't a bad idea actually.
