That's right: it appears that the Wii's accessible controls not only make it the system of choice for grandmas and fat chicks, but also personal heroes of mine.
In this interview sent to us by BlindsideDork, Bruce 'The Man Who Would be Ash' Campbell states that
"I was pretty good on the primitive games -- Asteroids, Berserk, etc, but the only 'video system' I can use is the Wii."
Truth be told, I'm not sure what's more awesome: the fact that Campbell still refers to consoles as "video systems," or the mental image of Brisco County Jr. flailing around like a spastic during a marathon session of Wii tennis. Complain all you want that the Wii is directed only at children, but don't come crying to us when Bruce Campbell shoves a Wiimote up your wazoo and follows it up with a cynical, pop-culture related catchphrase.

as far as he can't handle other systems it kinda backs up the whole "dumbed-down" controls argument.
Something tells me S-Mart is out of Wii's, too.
Wii is the BEST Video System in all teh World!
-> Sorensen: That's not an "argument", that's a "selling point". You might not like it, but it was very much an intentional decision on nintendo's part. It's probably actually the largest single factor's in the wii's early success.
Seems more like he's ready to play Gears of War if you ask me...
Anyone that hasn't watched Bubba Ho-tep is missing out on the genius of Bruce. With quotes like "But what do I care? I got a growth on my pecker." you know your in for a craptastic adventure.
How did you guys get Spidey 3 already?
If I were an object of fanfic, I'd get creeped out.
This... is my BOOMSTICK!
Oh fuck yes! That movie was badass/funny as hell.
You know what I would love to see? Summa getting his skull smashed in by Bruce Cambell's chin. Maybe now he'll think twice before writing another one of those goddamn annoying articles.
Black John F Kennedy, comedy fucking gold.
"...but don't come crying to us when Bruce Campbell shoves a Wiimote up your wazoo and follows it up with a cynical, pop-culture related catchphrase."
Any suggestions on a good catchphrase?
that fuck also made me sit through mindwarp.
