You may be asking yourself "hey, what the hell has Will been doing all week?". The answer: Working on The Wiicast 2.0. Today I'm ready to launch our new Media Player. It's very exciting. I really had no knowledge of video streaming so this was a learning experience for me. Hopefully everything will be working fine. I'm really excited to be able to bring this to you guys! the media Player can be found at video.wiicastbeta.com check it out, test it, report any problems you may have. It may take a while for the player to load...that's normal. Keep you eyes glued to www.wiicastbeta.com for the reveal of more features.

I know this is a horrible time to delay the Mario Kart Review. I apologize in advance. Hopefully it's for a good reason. For the past two years I've been using Blogger to host the Wiicast. I decided that it was time to start self-hosting the site. All this week I've been working on 'Wiicast Beta', a new and improved website. Hopefully it'll be easier for you guys to navigate as well as easier for me to update. You'll be able to have comment profiles, view recent posts and comments, navigate between multiple pages(!) and a slew of other things. Also, the new banner is not final. It does represent the look I'm going for but if anyone wants to take a crack at it, please do.

Big things are in the pipeline, I assure you. For now please check out the beta site and leave feedback. Again, sorry for the show delay.


NOTE! Beta site may act funky because I'll be working on it all week.

The video above makes my brain do different things. On one hand, it's freaking hilarious. On the other hand it's really great to see someone other than some in-shape person using Wii Fit. On a third (as of now hidden) hand, it looks like this kid is going to collapse. A myriad of emotions, all from one video.

This strange glitch happened after I beat the third demon gate in the forest temple. WTF?

Mario gives free cab rides to New Yorkers from Andrew Yoon on Vimeo.
This past Thursday Nintendo surprised New Yorkers with free cab rides to promote Mario Kart Wii. Mario stood on the sidewalk (you know, like a hooker) and hailed down cabs for unsuspecting tourists. Joystiq has impressions as well as provided the video above.
