The gadget-loving Queen has become HOOKED on Prince William's new Nintendo Wii games console.

William's girlfriend Kate Middleton bought him the £200 gift for Christmas - but he now has to share it with his grandma.

Quote:
"She played a simple ten-pin bowling game and by all accounts was a natural.

"It was hilarious. William was in fits of laughter. He was enormously impressed at having such a cool gran.

Quote:
"His only difficulty nowis prising it away from the Queen's clutches. She showed all the signs of becoming a Nintendo addict."

No! Nintendo's infiltrated the English government! Sony's got to take America. Is Shane interested in running?

That's some irrational hate right there.
Firstly Shane craves nintendo and is all over nintendo's games and shits all over ps3 exclusives (except for heavenly sword, lol) and secondly in the last podcast he didn't even predict ps3's overall dominance it was the british dude (cox).

So yeah, dumb.

Of course, Shane does have to justify statements like Rez would be good on Wii with "I rarely think any game will be good on Wii!" and then completely backs down and trolls the system. Oh, and declares that he hates liking a game on Wii and that it only has 4 good games on it. I don't jump on the "Shane is a complete fucking prick" bandwagon but he's hardly a pro Nintendo guy as much as he is PS3.

And anyways, it's all for lolz. Shane could sell his PS3 and be a PS3 fanboy.

Don't take it so hard man. Besides; Shane's always been made fun of for being the PS3 Fanboy. Don't act like that's never happened or something.

nintendo and the british royal family are perfect counterparts -- they're both immensely popular despite having long outlived their relevance.

i would've liked to squeeze in a comparison of royal incest and nintendo franchising, but it's not really happening for me. it's sunday morning

But isn't Nintendo's relevance entirely dependant on its popularity in the first place?

wait, i thought of one: nintendo's intellectual property is about as diverse as the windsor gene pool, and as seldom receives an infusion of new blood

eh? eh?
