After my Wii was repaired by Nintendo, there were a couple of things that were changed on my console. I have a different serial number, different friend code, and I can’t edit any of the Miis I made. I had a small handful of friends from before, but because of the friend code change, we can’t communicate anymore. So I’m looking at making some new friends. Want to be one?

Here’s my friend code if you want to buddy up!

Make sure you leave me your number in the comments.

Oh, and if you have Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, could you send me a couple of your friend vouchers? I’m dying to get the last seven needed to get everything unlocked. After getting 100% on Hyper Mode, that’s all I’ve got left to do….

Did anyone else notice a striking resemblance between today’s Dilbert and our Marketing 101 comic?

Personally, I think he should have switched the order of the jokes though to make the ‘hot’ joke last (like we did) as I felt it was the best final punchline. So my faithful readers, I have a question:

I am a sucker for nearly-identical characters involved in fights of good vs. evil. Any video game or movie that involves this type of story is something I tend to fall in love with. There’s just something about a character fighting their "true" opposite that I’ve always loved. Here are some of my favorites in no particular order.

Sonic the Hedgehog / Shadow the Hedgehog
Shadow has left a bad impression on everyone lately, but when he first debuted in Sonic Adventure 2 for the Dreamcast,
he was absolutely perfect.

Samus Aran / Dark Samus
