Oprah with a Wii, huh? Reminds me of something I read about a couple of years ago: when one of the Halo games was released (number 2, I believe), there were numerous celebrities involved in a little exclusive gaming club, who got the game, a limited edition XBOX system, and a nifty suitcase to carry that (and other) crap in there. Hilary Duff, members of Linkin Park, some rapper, and a few others who I can't remember were some of the celebrities. I think they were involved on XBOX Live, but honestly, it sounds sketchy.

The Little DS That Could, please. That sounds like an epic tale of improbably awesome hardware.
As for the Angry stories, I'll just go and reread the Gord stories (Or perhaps that archive by that one porn store worker that I can never seem to find again. EVER.)
Maybe you should make a thread about that, a thread with a title like "gamestop employe cofensions" or some other crap like that.TheKbob said:
Maybe that will happen... in the "gaming headlines from an alternate dimensions" thread.Indigo_Dingo said:

I really don't see the problem. Really. People complain when gaming culture is lambasted in the media, and that we, as gamers, are misunderstood and reviled by 'normal' people. Then, when it looks like gaming might become more widely accepted, they complain because... I really don't know why...
If you're worried about the spread of 'casual' games, well, it's pretty much accepted that it's the Wii's market now. It's not a real competitor to the Xbox and PS3 in the 'hardcore' area of games, it never will be and it was never intended to be. That does not make it any less of a games console, but rather one aimed at a different part of the market, which it does very well. This won't have any real effect on the more hardcore, adult-orientated games, because the consumer base doesn't really overlap too much.
... ok I sort of went off-topic there...
Still, I must extend my sympathies to anyone working in a games store when all the mothers come in

Seriously though. If more super famous and influential people were into vidjamagames of some kind and were more open about it, games would be WAY more accepted and less hounded in the media.
My hope is that Oprah buys an X-Box..
If Oprah said that eating poop was a way to advance female rights, you know what would happen.
If she said she enjoyed the Nintendo Wii, the world might just fucking explode.

I'm just giggling at the idea that Oprah and whatever pathetic pile of flesh for a guest is present will be saying Wii constantly on international television..... I am so mature and dignified.
Oh and Plastic_window, I am absolutely amazed and astounded at your immensely grand skills in observation and deduction. Surely were you born in Sir Conan-Doyle's time, Sherlock Holmes, Mycroft, or Moriarty himself would've been based on your simply divine ability to ascertain the truth in such matters.plastic_window said:
Oh she'll just end up buying some for everyone on the planet.
"Boy this Wii Beer Pong game on Wii-Ware is just great for parties, everyone should have it!...AND IT'S YOUR LUCKY DAY BECAUSE EVERYONE IN THE AUDIENCE AND EVERYONE WATCHING AT HOME WILL GET ONE RIGHT NOW!!!"
*starts hearing planes overhead*
*Wii supply drop lands in my driveway, including every game and peripheral, and a small T.V. to plug it all into*
*starts crying because that's what you have to do when oprah gives you stuff*
Maybe she can help us get that damn Wii-Hard drive thing we've wanted.
