Although I have not been shy in sharing my opinion of the Wii with this audience in the past, I must say that I did drool (just a drop or two) when I came across this modded out version on Ebay today.

Dora sings: My name is DoraBelle … My minions? Straight from hell. Don’t mess with this doll, pink hair and all. I’m a gnome and I’m proud and I sing out loud. MY NAME IS DORABELLE … my minions? Straight from hell!
Hey there all you Azerothian explorers! It is I, your faithful A. Dora Belle checking in from the cold north!
Last time I came to you, I was on my way to the snowy Ironforge, where my dwarvy cousins allowed us Gnomeregon Refugees to stay!
Why Anime Vegas of course! Las Vegas is known for its gorgeous showgirls, flamboyant magicians, instant millionaires, fast paced nightlife, mind-blowing shows, and now for the fastest growing Anime convention in the nation, Anime Vegas! Over this past Labor Day weekend, the Cashman Center, in the heart of downtown Las Vegas, played host to the 4th annual Anime Vegas convention headed by founder — and all around nice guy — Rich Stott. I had the pleasure of speaking with Erin Murray, head of AV Human Resources and lovingly nicknamed “Minion Mistress” […]
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I actually found a game on the Wii that held my attention for more than 20 minutes. After playing more than 8 hours of this game over the course of two days, I felt that the utter magnitude of this event warranted its own post.

So, you think that I am an ungrateful elitist or behind the times? Maybe. You think that maybe I am just cheap? Most definitely. You can think whatever you like, but the fact is BioShock, the freshly-released game for the Xbox 360, is on sale at your local GameStop for $59.99. Now you might not think this is a big deal, in which case you are probably enjoying the game as we speak. But some of us are on a little bit tighter of a budget.
For years now, many have complained that the main reason more people aren’t playing videogames is that it is not marketed toward them. While this may, in fact, be partially true there are also other factors that go into why our culture reacts to the gaming pastime as it does.
In your rush to join the daily grind, you run out of the house after throwing on a t-shirt, jeans and a baseball cap to cover your bed-head and dark-circled eyes.
As you unlock your car with your keys clinging to a Nintendo lanyard, you realize you are wearing a Street Fighter shirt, a Mario baseball cap, and are toting a backpack blanketed in various buttons from your favorite videogame franchises. Adding icing to the cake, before you can decide if it’s worth changing clothes, your thoughts are […]
This summer has seen two films about retro gaming, Chasing Ghosts and King of Kong: Fistful of Quarters, with both based on the 1982 LIFE Magazine article that assembled the World’s Greatest Gamers for a photo shoot. At the time, Walter Day had created Twin Galaxies to become the place to submit all electronic game scores. Twin Galaxies set the rules and standards and also posted a list of the top players across the nation.
In my many years of experience in video game retail, and in my recent experiences at random gaming events, I have come to notice the many different gamer stereotypes and how intertwined they all are. The main three categories of gamers are “the gangsta”, “the nerd”, and “the tool” – though if you mix and match some of these, you will breed new stereotypes. Beware — you might just fall into one of these groups.
A new study from Nottingham Trent University is bringing to light what gamers have been saying for years now: we aren’t all social losers! The new study found that many people who play MMORPG’s such as WoW make life long friends in game with almost 50% meeting in real life. So, for those of you who think that all MMO’ers are basement dwellers, you might want to hit F5 (to refresh).
