Wii: Subliminal Homophobic Message In Super Mario Galaxy Boxart?
You be the judge: Read only the letters that have a star underneath them.
Which appear to spell: U R MR GAY. No shit, although surely it isn't the first time any self-respecting Wii owner has secretly thought that while batting invisible tennis balls or doing virtual air-trouser-snake-jiggles in front of a room full of girls in Warioware (but at least I wasn't the one-with-far-too-much-time-on-their-hands who discovered it.
Nope, these guys were.
Wii: Nintendo Making US$49 Profit Per Wii Sold
While Sony faces another 18 month wait before turning a profit on the PS3, and profits for Microsoft have been put back another year by the US$1 billion+ repair bill for the error-prone 360, Miyamoto and co. over at Nintendo are laughing all the way to the bank after only 9 months on the market. More after the jump...

WTF: Web-user Dies After 3-day Online Binge
A Chinese man in Guangdong province in Southern China has died after a 3-day binge at a cybercafe in Zhongshan. No word on exactly what he was doing online for those 3 days, or whether the Chinese government will denounce this as yet another evil of the Western world or just execute the cybercafe owner instead.

Xbox 360: Halo 3 Ending Leaked?
I was going to title this something innocuous like "Halo 3 Secret Boobies Unlock Code Unveiled" or something equally innocent to entice my three 360-owning-friends to click the Play button. But then I thought of the consequences of ruining the biggest game of the year for them...oh, the consequences...(i.e. how I'd never be allowed to borrow that little white toaster off them again)

PC: Turn A $499 Video Card Into A $1899 Professional 3D Video Card
A chinese website has uploaded files that claim to be able to soft-mod a $499 AMD Radeon HD 1Gb 2900XT gaming card into a $1899 professional-grade AMD FireGL V8600. Whether or not it works is anyone's guess but there's a tidbit for all you wannabe 3D-designers-on-a-shoestring out there...
EDIT: Word on the web is that the mod is available for the much cheaper $130 AMD Radeon 2600XT as well. Hit the chinese website link above for the actual files...

360 / PS3: Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 Release Date Oct 26th
Thank god. Now I can delete that FIFA 08 demo.
TECH: Winamp Lets You Take Over Anyone's Boombox
Remember those house parties you went to that only played lame-ass James Blunt songs? How you'd be having a great time only for someone to get on the stereo with a fat stack of Billboard Top 40 Hits compilations? Fret no more, you big music-nazi, the latest version of Winamp will reportedly let you play your MP3 collection from your home PC to any internet-connected PC, PS3, Wii or even mobile phone, provided you have your home PC connected to the internet with Winamp open on the desktop. More after the jump. Oh yes, parties are suddenly an option again.
The product is relatively simple; users store their music files on a PC with Winamp running. Then they enable the application for remote access. After setting that up, users fire up the Wii or PlayStation 3 web browser and head to http://winamp.com/remote to sign in. As long as the host PC is on, has Winamp running and connected to the Internet, the user can allow a friend to stream music and video from that machine too. If the user was on the road, at a party, over a friend's or trapped in a coffee house with bad music, they can access their tunes remotely from anywhere with an Internet connection. Gamers with old PCs can either use their current PC to stream the media or take an older PC (at least with a 2.4 GHz CPU) and use it as a makeshift media center. (source)
This is likely to open your PC up to resemble mosquito fly netting in terms of security, so be warned...

MUSIC: Spoon "Don't You Evah"
Dancing robot from Spoon's "Don't You Evah". Not the funniest or coolest music video but it...works...(and I haven't posted in over a week now).
