Nintendo. Damn.

A big hand for the most legendary company in gaming. 1.28 MILLION dollars for every employee. Holy shit. I've got to know what 7 tv shows Mario has had. I only remember one or two.

I remember the atrocious live action one with WWF Veteran Lou Albano as Mario, and I remember the cartoon.. but 5 more? Pass.

Yeah, Nintendo just make taking over the world look easy. Those sales figures are staggering.

Pokemon fever is gripping my house right now, as Mrs C now has 2 DS's to trade Pokemon she's caught from Platinum to the new Heartgold game. Get this - I recently checked how long I'd played Batman Arkham Asylum, and it was something like 27 hours. She's played Pokemon Platinum for more than 120 hours, and HeartGold is already over 100 hours play. Fucking terrifying.

I once saw a video of a guy who was recording himself playing several DS's at once trying to find the rarest Pokemon. I just spent way too long trying to find it (can't remember what the hell it was called), but it was chilling. Grown-ass man freaking out and practically sobbing over a random encounter in a children's videogame. Keep an eye on your missus.
