07/27/07: Fun, batteries included but not necessary

M: Whenever I see a commercial for a Wii game - ANY Wii game, really - I feel the urge to slap those twenty-something marketing-trainees-by-day, model-by-night folks.
They are always shown sitting on a sofa, thoroughly enjoying themselves doing the stupidest of motions, and never accidentally strike the person next to them. Apart from
this annoying detail, I can't help but think that if these people (and the customers out there, you know who you are!) really cared about gaming at all, they would have
known about Mario Party BEFORE its eighth incarnation, and the GameCube wouldn't have failed as miserably as it did.

Oh well. To each their own. I'm off to see the Simpsons movie then. Please please please don't suck!
