- Bill Gates for President?
I’ve sort of favored the idea, chiefly on the grounds that I don’t think he’d be any worse than anyone else we’ve had, but would undoubtedly be more effective.
- GameTrailers has some new Wario Ware: Smooth Moves videos up, including one that features a bunch of classic Nintendo franchises, and a boss battle that may just have players begging for a Wii Star Fox. And check out the boss of that stage. I just hope they make the appropriate change for the US crowd.
- Wow.
This may very well be the worst thing I’ve seen an analyst say about the PS3.
“A SEGA-like shift to software?” Technically, wouldn’t that be a return to software? As Sony (technically, Sony Imagesoft) was responsible for such SNES and SEGA classics as Cliffhanger, Sewer Shark, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Last Action Hero, and Ground Zero Texas.
Then again, they’ve come a long way, but how much of it would they retain if they did make the shift?
- Reggie discusses Mii, Wii, and MMORPG in the world of Second Life.
- Mentioned before that Reggie will be on Spike TV’s Game Head tomorrow, and here’s a clip.
- A word of advice: Christmas trees and Wiis don’t mix.
- Hmm, Sonic and the Secret Rings may not come in March after all.
- Kotaku pimps the Wii Classic Controller.
- One of my biggest gripes about the Wii is the simple fact that the GameCube mode essentially shuts down everything Wii: the home button doesn’t work, you can’t use the Classic Controller on it, you have to get up and hit reset to get back to Wii stuff.
It’s annoying, but at least there seems to be some explanation for it within the comments of Chris Kohler’s recent entry.
- Speaking of Wii complaints, 1UP naturally has their own, and a conveniently round number of ten at that.
- With the release of The Punisher: Extended Cut on DVD, Newsarama talks to director Jonathan Hensleigh about the new version of the film, and the sad truth about the budget he had to work with in making the film.

Y’know, I don’t really like Microsoft much as a company, but Bill Gates would make an incredible president. Based solely on the work he does with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. (No, not just “throwing money at things.” Read how he manages it. Read the Time Magazine where they name him man of the year.) He’d really turn this country around if he were into politics.

I agree, that’s part of why I think he’d do well.
