R.C. Pro Am Pretty Much Brainwashed Me

What with that whole spelling "N-I-N-T-E-N-D-O" thing. When others wavered, I (implausibly) kept the faith that Mario, that horrid little guinea wop stereotype, would save the day:
Jon Goldman, chairman and chief executive of Foundation 9 Entertainment, an independent game development company, said that he was hearing a growing call for Wii games from the publishers and distributors that finance the games that his firm creates. “Publishers are saying: Instead of spending $15 million or $20 million on one PS3 game, come back to me with five or six Wii pitches,” he said.
I'm amazed this has worked out for me. After making do with technocrap for a decade I have for some reason bought a Wii, a Mac, and an iPhone in the past year. With these in hand, I don't plan on buying another major appliance before 2010. So I need these to keep working.

So set 'em up, Mr. CEO of a company that puts out really icky social interaction games. (You clearly have a handle on the American male's timeless need to take exciting new technologies and combine them with classic spank fantasies.) And I will knock some of them down. The ones with sports. Or Nazis to shoot to death. (Honestly, why hasn't anyone made a game out of the 1936 Olympics?)
