Episode 30: All Day I Dream About Penguins
Friday, October 13th, 2006Thirty episodes…..gosh it's easy when you just say it like that……and what better way to celebrate this fine milestone on the Transcontinental Penguin Super Show than to discuss our favorite topics which are none other than the PS3 and Wii releases! I guess we could also talk about the really awesome 10th season debut of South Park featuring the best MMORPG EVER CREATED, World of Warcraft! Sony released a response to the lack of rumble feature in the PS3 controller. A GameStop regional manager believes that the PS3 "isn't going to launch well" which could be very accurate when hear things like neither edition will come with the cables for hookup to HD TVs. The lack of units is still prevalent despite it going to 400,000 units now, though most of any pre-order for it is now over. This option could actually help Nintendo and Microsoft as being a holiday other option for the lack of PS3s out there. The Wii, on the other hand, with the CompUSA leaked pricing information, will now ship double our original estimates with 2 million units. The pre-order for the Wii too are tight but with these plenty of units available, odds of getting one are much better even with the rumored possible early launch. An interview with Nintendo's VP of Marketing for America answers a lot of Wii questions. One thing plaguing our minds is the affect of sunlight on the wireless sensor some seem to be finding. And finally despite their best efforts to hack and mod the Wii to put an OS in it, Nintendo beat you to it but having Linux already installed and what appears to be updateable. Good job, Nintendo. Beware of damaged fingers and names when Emerson garbage disposals sue for the new shows "Heros" slanderous scene. Mike loses his mind for this week's WTF is Wrong With Japanese People. For the first time, there was going to be a WTF is RIGHT Story but since Yahoo News is gay and doesn't archive their own stories, there is no link. Also, despite Chris not believing, Mike swears we have had the link of the fast Japanese undressing guy. Watch the movie and let us know. FInally, think America likes porn? Well, Japan has an 80 billion dollar a year one of their own which can be seen in a new book called the "Pink Box." That name sounds so naughty….A.D.I.D.A.S Baby!!!
