Some guy out there turned his toaster into a SNES (or Super Nintoaster). How cool (or geeky) is that?!?! Check it out:

The hype around Nintendo’s Wii Fit seems to have spread to very juicy Playgirl model Nicholas Ryan as well. With him, I these exercises would definitely be even more fun than they already are 
Back in 2006 when the Wii came out, it didn’t take the homebrew community long to hack the Wiimote for their own purposes. Unsurprisingly, the same is now happening to the Wii (Fit) Balance Board.
While the hugely popular game World of Warcraft isn’t yet available for Wii (and most likely is going to stay that way), it is now nevertheless possible to play it via the Wii Balance Board:
PS. Isn’t that strong German accent funny and cute at the same time 
Yesterday was launch day for one of the most anticipated Wii games ever: Mario Kart Wii! It took Big N over 1 1/2 years since the launch of their latest console Wii to come up with a successor to its incredibly successful Mario Kart series.
Since the very first release of Super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo I have been a big fan of the series. While I still consider Super Mario Kart no. 1 of the series, I think the Wii release has the potential to rival the DS version Mario Kart DS.
To sum Mario Kart Wii up in one very short sentence: It’s a lot of fun!. You compete against 11 players simultaneously (as opposed to 8 in the past) on gigantic tracks that each represent a bit of microcosm in the huge world of Mario. Besides taking a traditional ride in a kart, it is now also possible to tour the tracks in motorcycles. One of the best improvements is the AI. Over are the days where all CPU controlled players would take the exact same route through to reach the finish line. No, they are now fiercer and more cunning than ever!
Definitely the best improvement, however, is how online game play was built into the game. It is now possible to race and compete with up to 11 additional players simultaneously with no lag at all! And while the DS version allowed you to play against your friends only, the Wii version allows both of you to compete against each other while also racing against anonymous people all over the world!
The only criticism I have is that the game seems a little bit too item-heavy. It’s not rare that you get hit by 3 red turtle shells and one super blue shell consecutively, just a few metres away from the finish line. But while frustrating (especially if it happens to you all the time), it doesn’t affect the overall good score of the game and definitely not the extremely high level of fun this game brings with it.
Overall it’s a great game that’s a must-have for every Wii owner and definitely for every Mario Kart fan!
