My brother and I got a NES for Christmas back in the early 90s, right at the end of its life cycle. One of my most vivid gaming memories is playing Super Mario World at Service Merchandise back in the day. Since then I've had a SNES (my favorite system), a N64, a Gamecube, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, DS, Wii, Xbox and 360.

Outside of gaming, I am an obsessive skier and an amateur beer homebrewer. I live up in the state of Maine, although I did spend a short stint living in Juneau Alaska. My favorite types of humor are those shown by Seth Rogen, Mel Brooks, Mitch Hedberg and Michael Showalter. I am also one of those kids that loves comics enough to go to the comic shop every Wednesday to pick up a couple of books. I used to host a radio show and love music, particularly The Clash.

Other than that, I guess the usual info...

I'd end with a popular meme but I don't want this to be horribly outdated in about 27 seconds.

WTF Wednesday: Chocolate Mii's
UMF Skibum | 5:09 PM on 02.13.2008 13 comments




WTF Wednesday is a weekly look at those shining pillars of the gaming community - forum posts, gadgets, articles and personalities - that just make you wonder "What the fu...?"
---------

Although they are momentarily sold out, Valentine's Day Eve seems like a good time to mention that Paul Pape (usually) has Chocolate Mii figures for sale! Available in milk, dark and white chocolate, the Miis come in an awesomesauce Wii-shaped box. Each has about as much chocolate as a king-sized candy bar. Red-hot hearts on the little Mii shirts complete the package. Paul also is kind enough to ship with a choice of a traditional boy/girl pairing, or two Miis of the same gender.

When back in stock, the little guys and girls retail for 14.95 (plus S&H). While on the site, you can also check out Paul's Mii figurines and wedding cake toppers. Unlike the chocolates, they are customizable, so you can have an analog representation of the digital you (or the Dude).

Can you get a bi-racial version? Then, and only then, will we achieve harmony in this nation.
This nation = the one you are in right now. Don't be part of the problem.

To answer your question yes you can get a bi-racial version as well as two girls or two boys. Check out my blog, I just bought them for my boyfriend and they arrived today. :)

Also, I don't mean to rain on your blog as I would have blogged it earlier but I was working ;)

Hey, that's totally cool. Hands on with 'em trumps me reading about them on a website. Plus, you're a girl on the internet - you automatically win.

:p thanks for not being mad. I know some people get bent out of shape about those things.

Some people have blogs to compensate for certain ... shortcomings. Mine is just to post stuff. No worries.
