Damn. She's good.

You wanna know how much ASS my wife kicks at MarioKart Wii? She just DODGED a blue shell.

Yeah, oh and she's on MY team.

Spy Battle 2165

The year: 2165. Overpopulation is crushing the Earth. Rival Factions Spy, Raid, Steal and Fight for Survival! Join this dark world today!

If you've got some free time with a browser in front of you (or a web-enabled phone) I strongly suggest you to try this free web game. It takes place in a dark future in which technology has made man immortal, now that survival is not an issue, man can resort to anything within their reach for power.

How it works is you create a character who regenerates HP, stealth, energy and research points on a timely basis. There are several activities with a range of risk and cost (some require stealth, others energy, some may get you killed). Chose what to do and start amassing resources.

There is PVP plat (player versus player) in this game but that's when the immortality factor comes in. You kill a guy and he loses nothing except the time it takes to heal and any cash in hand (that's what's the bank is for, n00b). You earn some experience and 10% of the cash he was holding. If your attack fails you die and he gets your cash, then you have to wait to heal.

There's a whole lot more stuff. The simple way it's done and how you amass power makes this game extremely addicting. You may find yourself setting timers to come back when you have recharged.

Code of friendship

OK so I haven't tried out EVERY game in the Wii library or DS library, but all those that I have have this thing that irks the living SNOT out of me. Friend codes. What the hell's up with that? Does Nintendo want you NOT to have friends? Why are they so anal about the way you interact with others?

As far as i've seen you have 2 options. You play with a perfect stranger in a way you can barely interact (so how do you know it's not an AI bot?). Or, you beg an actual acquaintance to BUY the game you play, log in at the same time with you and go through the tedious friend-code swapping process only to play a match that also limits interaction.

This is some heavy BS, I'm telling you. Of all the DS games I had I was never able to hook up with anyone, and after a couple of weeks of begging I got a co-worker to respond to my friend invite last night, maybe later this week we can call each other to carefully arrange a couple of MarioKart races.

I understand Nintendo may be worried about some pedophile asking kids for their addresses between SuperSmashBrosBrawl fights (yeah, that mii with a penis for a face), but isn't that why the Wii has parental controls?
