Man, that was a great podcast. I know I say this after every podcast but this really was our best podcast. One thing I was disappointed in was I forgot to introduce myself in the beginning and also I didn't get to make my final point when we where talking about the assisted gaming device for the Wii. I had made the example that I let my nieces play Naruto and I tell them to figure it out whenever they come across something difficult in the game. What I wanted to say before I got sidetrack by Tanshin's comment was that they can't always figure it out and they're not like me or some of us who keep on trying to figure something out. They instead get frustrated and stop playing. So then I usually have to provide a hint, and in the more extreme cases solve it for them. The new Nintendo device would play a similar role, as adult gamers we don't see the need for it but for the developing child it is definitely a great learning tool that wouldn't intimidate them or hurt their self esteem in the process. Plus we not see it yet but there could be applications for this device for adult serious gamers such as us, its still just an early idea.


Also I love having Tanshin and Twolf on the cast. We need them more often.
