The 3D Mario Wii Case Ok, I know we got a load of fans for the Nintendo here. Hell I am too, but not as much as this person. I mean, I just went to DecalGirl.com and ordered my Skull Case cover for mine. I just wish that I was half as talented as this person or had half the time. Bravo on this this.

When they got home and threw their SSBB disc in their Nintendo Wii Consoles “a small percentage” of the fan base was let down by a “disc-read error”.According to Nintendo, who just sold 1 million copies in Japan, this is due to the high-capacity double-layer disc that is used for Super Smash Bros Brawl. On Nintendo’s official North American site they explained "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.

Happy Birthday Chuck Norris. I have some awesome Chuck Norris Birthday words for you from all over the web. They will tell you how PWNED.com feels for you Chuck. There is no 'ctrl' button on Chuck Norris's computer. Chuck Norris is always in control. Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because he only recognizes the element of surprise. Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one bird. When Chuck Norris was denied an Egg McMuffin at McDonald's because it was 10:35, he roundhouse kicked the store so hard it became a Wendy's.

My favorite site besides PWNED.com has a awesome story about the New York Gov. Eliott Spitzer (D) was apparently known as Client 9 to an upscale prostitution ring.  Spitzer was opposed to violent video games like Hitman: Codename 47.  The irony and hypocrisy of this man let alone that he is a politician.   Source - During the 2006 campaign Spitzer called out the video game industry for excessive violence and, ironically, sexual content in its products: Like all parents, I know it is increasingly difficult to protect our children from negative influences… we have learned that when self-regulation fails, government must step in… we must do more to protect our children from excessive sex and violence in the media… Media content has gotten more graphic, more violent and more sex-based… Currently, nothing under New York State law prohibits a fourteen-year old from walking into a video store and buying… a game like ‘Grand Theft Auto,’ which rewards a player for stealing cars and beating people up.
