Wii shall overcome

Nintendo has changed the name of its new system from the standard-but-bitchin' name of Revolution to...Wii. Pronounced like "we." What?

• While the code-name "Revolution" expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer. Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else. Wii will put people more in touch with their games ... and each other.

Well, that explains it, Nintendo. Thanks. Apparently it also has something to do with how the controller looks like two letter "i"'s. I don't know what that means. I'm not a geek.

Wiiners everywhere are looking forward to the dorky new system. Get it? Wiiners? Say it out loud. In fact, scream it.

That's right. I'm that hard-up for a joke. Of course, the whole topic is a joke in and of itself.
