The Next Step

So Good

My dreams of a dual-screen PC/Mac setup are finally realized. And it was way easier to do than I care to admit.

For all you parents who are too busy to actually take an interest in your kids’ lives, fear not. Nintendo and their partners are doing everything they can to make sure that you can continue to blame their obsession with violence on video games.

That said, I wish it was Q4 already.

I hope I live to see a day when the Chinese (with or without help) tear down the great firewall. Never will trashing a few racks of servers be so meaningful.

We need to get these people mad! I’d like to propose that all content providers start looking through the Forbidden Words List and start randomly sprinkling them in hidden content on your web pages. The more legitimate pages China has to block, the better!

Actually, the web accessibility people would probably hunt me down and burn me at the stake for suggesting that. Any way to do it without hurting people using screen readers?

Two Things I really hope will happen at E3:
1. Nintendo tells us the whole Wii thing was just a publicity stunt. They’re sticking with Revolution.
2. Shigesato Itoi announces a US Mother 3 release date for the near future.

Two Things I’m worried will happen instead:
1. Nintendo tells us the whole Wii thing was just a publicity stunt. They liked Penny Arcade’s Idea better.
2. Shigesato Itoi doesn’t even show up to E3. Just before the event, he announces that he’s not releasing Mother 3 in the States, stopping production in Japan, and recalling all the copies already sold.

Doug Mirabelli is BACK.

And it’s about time.

And I swear I’m not just going to talk about the Red Sox all the time here.
