Mario Kart Wii ruined what was so good for 16 years. The series they've built from Super Mario Kart all the way to Mario Kart DS has crumbled with their latest iteration on the Wii.
In their fervor to capture the hearts of casual gamers everywhere, Nintendo has destroyed what was once a fun game with competitive spirit. I hear, "well they got rid of snaking" all over the place, and I agree that it gave players a huge advantage. Being a competitive person, I went and learned how to snake, so I don't really mind. However, N64 required some skill to powerslide, and there was no snaking there, so there was no reason to kill the technique involved completely. Powersliding in MK Wii just requires you to press a button and hold it for a couple seconds; no skill involved. While you're at it, Nintendo, remove the ranks 'cuz everyone should be a winner. I won't get into the items, because there are enough complaints about that on the interweb. I don't really have much else to say about the game. It's a disappointment. Great for the casual players, but sure to turn off the competitive ones like myself.
Back to GTA4 (which is the best of the GTAs in my opinion).
Finalwii!
Finally found a Wii, and at a Kmart of all places. No luck finding Mariokart at any stores, which is strange considering it's been out for a month.
Also, have some pics:
Wii is much prettier than PS3
Incredible crabby sippy cuppy found at Target
In case you were curious about the lightbox setup
Large cardboard box, white garbage bag, white poster paper, two lamps with similar output, and you're good to go. I could use some stronger lamps, and maybe a 3rd for the top.

Finally got around to finishing up my homemade lightbox/softbox, whatever you want to call it.
Here's a quick picture with minimal post processing out of my old Canon SD300 point & shoot:
Not bad for an ultra-compact camera if you ask me.

I don't think there has been a single day in the past 3 weeks that I've gotten home from work earlier than 8pm, and to that I say WTF?
