I’ve just added a new form so you can easily submit Famous Miis here.
My original post about it is also up in the Mii Channel.
Came across this on digg. M & M seem to have a very similar system to the Mii creator, Create your own M&M
News about people taking responsibility for circumstances, or about people taking steps to address a concern is always good. No matter how depressing the moment, or the history behind the situation, it is always good. A bit of follow-up research leads us to this message on endonline.com:
All of you are probably aware of the tragic death of a contestant, Jennifer Strange, following her participation in a contest on the Morning Rave last Friday.
First and foremost, our thoughts and sympathies go out to Jennifer’s family and loved ones.
I also want to assure you that the circumstances regarding this matter are being examined as thoroughly as possible. We are doing everything we can to deal with this difficult situation in a manner that is both respectful and responsible. In the interim, the Morning Rave is off the air indefinitely.
Thank you.
John Geary
Vice-President & General Manager
107.9 THE END
Thank goodness that so far, no entity has spun this story and blamed video games or the need to play them. More importantly, thank goodness the folks from the radio station are doing something about this.
There is a message on their website which was taken down READ IT HERE.
When the Wii first came out you may have heard of the “Wii Sports Experiment.” Some average joe decided to play Wii Sports for 30 minutes everyday for 6 weeks. In the process tracking all vital health statistics. His results are finally up, and they’re pretty interesting. Being the jerk that I am… I’ll ruin the ending for you, he lost 9 pounds!
Clearly the man was really getting into the games, bouncing around for boxing and taking full, tennis swings that would make plasma televisions shudder… but it’s still pretty damn impressive. I suppose this will draw the inevitable comment “Of course he lost weight, he’s moving for 30 minutes a day.” To which I say, shut up!
This post is devoted to the countless female Mii’s that this man surely beat up on during Wii Boxing Matches, all in the name of losing weight. I hope you’re proud of yourself sir.
I know this post should probably go under News Get! because I’m pretty sure that in terms of news, “Gaming-related Bead Crafts” falls right in between “I just ate corn dog” and “Man crosses street unhurt.”
But flickr user “foglera” has a gallery full of game characters made from those beads that you iron together after arranging them in a pattern. They are apparently called “Perler Beads.” I remember making hearts for my mom in every fluorescent color in the damn box. Which, looking back, I’m sure she instantly threw away for their sheer uselesness.
But these things, they’re so COOL! And so pixelated! And there are a ton of games and characters represented. And they’re PIXELS! Like they had on the SNES! PIXELS!
