GameSetWatch has a wonderful gallery up showing off some of the amazing pinball machines that can be found at the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas.
In their second set of pictures, the site concentrates on some of the "classic" pinball machines found in the collection. The grooviest by far has got to be Bally´s Tommy-themed pinballer Capt. Fantastic, though there are plenty more to see on the site. Brian Crecente
Trust Nintendo to pull out all the stops for the otherwise-humble advent calendar. A mere old-hat chocolate-filled calendar was obviously too passé for Iwata and gang (well...his European posse, at least); in a deliciously ready-made move, they´ve interpreted it into 2006 and sour the humble advent calendar into...what else...a 2D platformer. No chocolate, but it´s free, so that more than makes up for it.
There are a ton of games you have to pay for that aren´t this skilful I think the agonizing countdown to Christmas just got a little bit more bearable. Luke Plunkett

Clips: Dr. Phil Plays with His Wii
Dr. Phil got his Wii on with his son in a recent show and then went on to gift the entire audience with a free console. No wonder it´s inconceivable to find these things, Nintendo´s giving them all away as promotions. Brian Crecente
It has begun. First it was a girl, possibly covering up abuse like a 21st century "My Name is Luca" remix, and now Kotakuite Anders ends up with a black eye from his nunchuck.
i was playing wii sports boxing with my brother and we were playing in a pretty humble room. the idiot go so into the action and tried to side swipe my character when his nunchuk hit me in my correct eye. i have an absolutely massive blooming black eye and can hardly even open it.
My theory here? There is no ´brother´. Wii delirium, acting with his own dangerously fractured psyche, has created for Anders his own personal Tyler Durden. He´s out there correct now somewhere, smashing his own television and blaming it on his imagined sibling.
Don´t believe me?
to top it off, astir 5 minutes later he was playing on his own when the wii remote shot out of his hand and hit the tv. its only a cheap crt, but he´s put a dark patch in it from the impact. anyway, thought i may as well let others get a kick out of my mishaps...
Maybe I am wrong, but through this entire post we never actually see his brother or anyone else interacting with his brother. It´s a Chuck Palahniuk novel waiting to happen. Michael Fahey
