A short show this week, but a good one. Topics this week range from 24 to the recently-played Super Bowl as well as some topics of a more insular nature.
We congratulate our new BC of the Month, Tom Johnson. That segues us nicely into the introduction of a new feature in the BC Magazine music section, The Listening Room. I am particularly proud of this series as it was, well, my idea. I think we're going to have some fun with it.
Before bringing in our guest, I also take some time to fawn all over the great work Dawn Olsen is doing over at Glosslip. If you haven't been to this newest addition to the emerging BC Network, you are cheating yourself of comedic and literary gold. Deny yourself no further. Get thee to Glosslip.
Our guest this week is Ken Edwards. Ken and I make fun of Sussman's curling fetish and talk about this new Nintendo Wii game, WarioWare.

I guess WarioWare did not impress you did it DJR. How about Super Mario World for $8 on the Wii. That was one of the Wii's Virtual Console games this week.

I have the Cube version of WarioWare -- curling's on there too.
It's not about each individual game, but rather a rapid succession of different micro-games. It's rather frantic and half the battle is figuring out what game you're playing, guessing the controls, and solving it in just a few seconds.

Suggestions for Wario 2k8:
pop a zit in 4 seconds
get all the lint off the lint screen in 5 seconds
scrape my car windshield in 8 seconds or less
Sorry, boys, I'm just not sold on this.

Apparently talking about things that finish in 10 seconds or less makes DJRadiohead uncomfortable.

You don't have to worry about a 10 second finish if you have an attention span longer than it takes to pump air into a ball.

Well I am not the only one who is raving about how good a game it is. It is a ton of fun. One of the best party games out there, and perfect for "non-gamers." Plus adding the motion sensitive controls to the game makes the game even better.
