Mario GameIt 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”.

Wife makes Giant Mario quilt - Husband happy

Posted Monday, February 25th, 2008 by Alex Ion

For those geeks out there with no wife yet (me included) this is what we should aim for.

Giant Mario Quilt

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.
