Fun with games: Wii stripping and 'Guitar Hero' robot champion

07:11 PM PT, May 5 2008

OK, I guess this is a slightly misleading headline, since the article in question refers to Wii pole dancing, which as we know doesn't necessarily need to be done in the nude (just like, I suppose, you could swim with clothes on if you wanted to). 

Herp And if you think about it, it's actually completely unclear how the banana-sized Wii controller could somehow simulate a fixed pole around which the gamer moved.

A pingpong paddle, yes. Tennis racket, sure. But how are you going to do this with this?

On a mostly unrelated note, have you seen Pure Pwnage's video of the guy who builds a robot to beat "Guitar Hero"?  It's pretty epic.
