Donkey Kong Gets a New Ending

The Wii Dance

Do you still play the Nintendo Wii with friends? Do you have any friends who have not yet come up with a Mii and insist on taking five hours to create one before they’ll play anything with you? Well thanks to Mike Song, you’re no longer forced to sit on the couch gritting your teeth and thinking “COME ON!!!! THAT DOESN’T EVEN FUCKING LOOK LIKE YOU!!!”

Mike invented the Wii Mii song dance as part of the class he taught for Boogiezone’s “Boogiezone University” event. Now you can watch and learn. And the next time your friends take too long to create their Mii, you can bust out your new moves.

First, I would like to say thank you to Mike Song for his invention. Secondly, I would like to say that getting to tell people you work at a place called “Boogiezone University” is pretty awesome.

P.S. I would like to state for the record that the original title of this article was “Dance with Mii.” I then changed it thinking “Come on, Kate. The Wii puns are so fucking old and done with. Come up with something better.” But I couldn’t. So it became “The Wii Dance.” And then I was sad that no one would see my Dance with Mii joke. So I started this P.S. I’m not sure which part of that story is the most pathetic.

Real Life Oregon Trail

A few weeks ago I downloaded Oregon Trail for my mobile phone thinking that it was going to be identical to the original game I played in elementary school. I was sorely disappointed and a little pissed that The Learning Company failed to mention in their description that the graphics had been upgraded and new sounds had been added. They didn’t say it was the NEW Oregon Trail. Just “Oregon Trail Game!” with the description “An American cultural icon game available on your cell phone.” So I’m thinking it’ll be the original. You know. MS-DOS style:

BUT IT WASN’T. They’d upgraded graphics and shit. Not cool. I only paid $4.99 because I WANTED the old crappy version. I knew I wouldn’t really enjoy the game except for the nostalgia value and they took that away. LAME.

Whatever. At least I have the Mega64 video to make up for the disappointment.
