The day EA nearly started a war, or how to upset 60% of Northern Ireland

EA Sports recently committeda worrying faux-pasby playing the wrong national anthem for Northern Ireland in itsFIFA 08game. Instead ofGod Save the Queen, Electronic Arts accidentally used the Republic of Ireland anthem, theSoldier’s Song. A war, you say? If you’re not aware of Ireland’s history of violence and conflict (as EA apparently isn’t), then you might find it hard to believe that those stereotypical images of cheeky Irish rogues with a pot of gold and a spring in their step are actually all out to murder each other with bombs and rifles....

The NYC Toys R Us Wii line

So, I just came back for a bit to get you all some footage of the big ass Wii event happening right now in Times Square. There’s not a whole lot going on except a lot of Wii waiting and some interpretive dance junk on this small stage Reggie is supposed to get on later. Time Square is a mess of epic proportions right now with Nintendo fanboys, media and tourists everywhere....

Well, we don’t talk about any of those on the show. We do instead talk about how awesome it is to playLeft 4 Deadwith the Dtoid community’s Team UK, we chat about how Nintendo is rich, how Microsoft practices sorcery and how Sony has Home....

The Queen loves the Wii: Really, what more can you say?

Apparently I’m expected to do this one, being English and all, but apparently the Queen of Great Britainis a big fan of the Nintendo Wii, getting hooked on the white funbox when she saw Prince William playing a game. Just writing about the Royal Family makes me feel like a bloody tabloid paper. Turn to page 23 for candid pics of Billy Piper’s new beach boyfriend and to see us painting the idiot parents of Madeline Mccann as poor innocent victims of the EVIL Portugese police!...

The Smash DOJO recap: Samus is firing her laser!

First off, yes, the title of this post is more or less stolenfrom Justice. I’m sorry, but there was nothing better I could use after reading it.ShoopDaWhoop. Anyway, this week in theDojohas been mostly about lasers. Monday though started off with a quick audio sample ofStar Fox’s stage. Tuesday is when the laser talk began with the unveiling of Pokemon,Deoxys. I do believe this will be the first time a Pokemon in the Smash series finally uses Hyper Beam as it’s attack....

This video is proof that Liu Kang has a background story

I tried to watch this video, but it made no sense at all. I’ll attempt to summarize what I think it tried to tell me. Liu Kang was born a Chinese orphan in The Netherlands nine months after the post-WWI sex orgies in 1919. As he entered puberty, he started studying the secret martial arts of clog combat at the monestary of the Shaolin Society of the Clog. Sadly, he received a severe injury when a clog hit his lower regions during training for his black belt....
