Wii U sales up 666% in the UK after Mario Kart 8's release. Neat.

jesus christ rich people are assholes

I miss Thumbstreams. I've been watching some Pikmin 3 Bingo Battle videos and hot damn do I want to see the Thumbs try that game. The falling rocks effect that you can get from cherries is severely overpowered, but otherwise it looks incredible.

How Can Mirrors Be Real If Our Eyes Arent Real

I normally don't care at all about stupid celebrity bullshit, but Jaden Smith decided it was a good idea to attend a wedding wearing an all-white Batsuit.

I finally took a solid afternoon to sit down and beat the final boss! I'm not sure how I felt about that very last fight, but this is still a damned good, beautiful game. Temporary avatar change to celebrate.

Nintendo's showstopper at E3 this year will be Waluigi's WaluWorld. Or whatever. Waluever.

When Jake asked if there was an associated mp3 with the "UPlay Lounge" on the latest cast, my mind immediately jumped to this:

Er, I should mention that it's a choice between New Super Mario Bros. U, Pikmin 3, Wind Waker HD, and Wii Party U.

Remember to register that copy of Mario Kart on Club Nintendo! You get a free game for it.

Finally, an official version of Mike Tyson's Jungle Beat!

The Pro controller is really, really comfortable. It quickly became one of my favourite controllers ever. The rumble really does suck though. Again, I'm seriously thinking that this is so they can have a wired control option for fighting game enthusiasts who don't want to have to worry about input lag. That's a niche group, but it's also one of the most dedicated.

I've still only read the first issue 'cause I'm waiting for the trade. Sabrina's mouth is still sealed shut?

Fun game: Google Image Search any book, comic, movie, TV show, etc. and see how many results you get before you run into a pony version. Whoops, I wrote "fun" when I meant "terrifying." I thought that was Daisy.

Given how much Sakurai's talked about framerate and such, it would not surprise me at all if it turns out that he wanted to have a wired controller option to reduce input lag. He just seems like that kind of guy.

So this is an official first-party peripheral: And yes, Smash Bros. supports it.

Barring the Virtual Boy, Nintendo isn't the sort to back off of a console. If you're really concerned though, wait for E3 to make your decision. Also, I don't regret my Wii U purchase, though I do intend to buy a PS4 as well.

Boost Bindburn and Bethesda Softworks.

Not a gif:

The Hulu Plus ads make me secretly miffed because Hulu still isn't available in Canada.

Yeah, but now DC has an ongoing Batman '66 comic series that they can call it a tie-in to!

In my head, Daisy is the only sane person in the Mario universe. She got kidnapped ONCE, beefed up security to respond, and now has all this leisure time to play tennis and race go-karts. Also, there are so many crappier characters in the greater Nintendo universe! Consider every non-major StarFox character (including Krystal. Especially Krystal); or Luvdisc, the most useless of all Pokémon; or the entire cast of the Donkey Kong games.

Oh man, Baman Piderman is still around? I loved the shit out of those in college.

I'm three for three on reader mail! Also, "why aren't thou in Smash Bros. Brawl?" Waluigi really is the most tragic figure of the Mario series. Why does he want to imitate the second banana? Does he secretly covet Luigi's relationship with Mario?

I seriously want a few DLC missions or something where everything's reskinned to be Batman '66. Just imagine, every time you jump in the reskinned Batmobile: "Atomic batteries to power... turbines to speed..."
