While we’re on the subject of gaming, you Nintendo Wii owners may have noticed that blue light humming along for the last day or so. It has nothing to do with the Metroid videos or that video preview channel update. Seems that the Opera browser had some serious issues and they did a big update to the software, so you should see less crashes.
BTW, one of the first things I did with the Opera browser when it was introduced was to play Bowman 2 until the ground was stacked with a thick field of arrows. I got that fucking browser to slow to about 1 arrow fire per minute, but the system itself managed to keep itself up and running. Kudos.
Also, here are some Mario Kart Wii screenshots. Most of the shots are downright awful, and C&VG should be ashamed to show most of them, but still…. I want this fucking game.
