The Super Pii Pii Brothers is actually a video game for the Nintendo Wii coming from who else, Japan. I was totally blown away to see it at work and is damn funny.
You get to strap yourself with a belt harness that has the Wiimote attached and need to control the pee flow onto the three toilets that open and close as they wish, on your display.
What’s the goal? To spill as little as you can, on the floor.If you want to know how the Japanese got the idea to build it, here’s why.
“Super Pii Pii Brothers promotes good bathroom skills and allows women to experience for the first time the pleasure of urinating while standing.”
Not sure if you like it, but throw in a party and get your buddies to play a multiplayer game of the Super Pii Pii Brothers, it’s going to rock, believe me. Just make sure they don’t use their real “wiimotes” on your screen.
Price is $34.99 from ThinkGeek.
Let’s take Call of Duty 4 for example. When do you know a video game is extremely popular? When they release something like that… My favorite part is where the solo pistol comes in.
It seems the cigarette smoke can damage too your game console too. Perhaps nobody thought about this, but apparently the smoke can be harmful for Nintendo Wii. Gamers who smoke around the console could create damages to its laser lens that read the Wii disc.
Recently Nintendo has released the new game - “Super Smash Brothers Brawl” - which contains so many data that comes on a double-layer DVD. So, the laser lens need a great accuracy to read the game. Thus Nintendo offers free lens cleaning for its customers.
“A very small percentage of Wii consoles may have trouble consistently reading data off this large-capacity disc if there is some contamination on the lens of the disc drive,” says a statement on the Nintendo Web site.
Among the warning signs on cigarette packages should appear this one too: “Cigarette Smoking is Dangerous to Your Wii”.

For those geeks out there with no wife yet (me included) this is what we should aim for.
We have Brian, a happy husband. 5 years ago his wife made a giant Mario quilt that is roughly 6-feet wide and 8-feet tall and hangs nicely on the wall in the basement gameroom. She used 16 different fabrics which makes it a 4-bit color quilt and it has 36 columns over 44 rows.

Now that Toshiba has finally ditched the HD DVD format in an official statement saying that “it will no longer develop, manufacture and market HD DVD players and recorders” this should have impact on some businesses. However, Microsoft announced today that its Xbox 360 game console won’t suffer any material impact.
I find it hard to believe, but Microsoft enforced our thoughts saying that Xbox 360 customers would continue to be able to consume high-definition movies, television programs, and DVDs they already own on the Xbox 360 HD DVD player.
Lets see it done, now that Blu-ray is gonna become king and then we’ll talk.

I declared myself a fan once, and I am saying right now. I love Nintendo Wii, no matter what people are saying about the graphics. To be fair, I don’t appreciate too much their games for graphics, but I like the interactivity of the console. But let’s stay with the headline.
I have discovered a website that sells Wii accessories. You know, guns, combat kits, gloves, racer steering wheel, pool sticks. This collection is amazing and there is more to come. CTA Digital announced they began the shipments of these crazy accessories for retail stores.
However, I don’t have any idea about pricing. Obviously, if you’re a fanatic the price will be a detail.
Computer games have been always considered harmful for kids. But Nintendo has produced a spectacular turn in the industry. Their great invention called Wii, provoked a revolution in gaming use. Nintendo Wii Sports addresses also to elders and other population categories that don’t play games.
Recently some therapists have recommended the game console for their patients. Also some hospitals used Wii to help people recovering from strokes and spinal cord or traumatic brain injuries. The game increases coordination and also help patients to gain strength. Furthermore Nintendo’s Wii Fit game is also expected for launch in US. By using a Balance Board, the player can perform moves specific to sport games like soccer, ski, aerobics and even yoga.
The bad news comes from the stores, whose shelves are currently empty. So if you intend to buy one for Christmas, you should start looking from now.

This deal is available in France, as part of the Christmas marketing strategy. Sony France has announced that every customer who purchase a Sony Bravia LCD and a Blu-Ray player or a PlayStation 3 will get a discount up to €500.
The holidays offer sounds like this:
If you purchase a TV from this range - KDL40D3500AEP or KDL40V3000AEP or KDL40W3000AEP or KDL40X2000BAEP or KDL40X3500AEP, we will give you in discount the value of a Blu-ray Sony* or of a PlayStation3 which doesn’t pass the €250 amount.
If you purchase a TV from this range - KDL46D3500AEP or KDL46V3000AEP or KDL46W3000AEP or KDL46X2000AEP or KDL46X3500AEP or KDL52W3000AEP or KDL52X2000BAEP or KDL52X3500AEP or KDL70X3500AEP, we will give you in discount the value of a Blu-ray Sony* or of a PlayStation3 which doesn’t pass the €500 amount.
*The Blu-Ray players available for the promotion are the following models: BDPS1E, BDPS300 and BDPS500.
As a matter of fact a 60GB PlayStation 3 retails for no more than €500. And we have a deal! Consequently the Frenchmen who buy a Sony Bravia LCD between November 1 and January 15 will benefit from this offer. They will obtain a Christmas present for free. That’s a tempting deal!
Sony announced price cuts for PlayStation 3 model. The 40 GB version will retail for $399 while the 80 GB version’s price was also cut with $100. Sony Corp. tries to reinvigorate the sales of their new game console, because the things didn’t go in the right direction. The new prices will be available on November 2 when the new version of the PS3 will come with a 40 GB hard drive for the North American market. Same measures were applied in Europe and Japan, because Sony couldn’t battle with its rivals Microsoft and Nintendo.
Still, the PS3 remains more expensive than the rival game consoles. Its price surpasses with $50 the Xbox 360 and with $150 Nintendo Wii. Nevertheless, Sony have made the move before the Christmas shopping season. Better now than later. And I still prefer the Wii.
