From Wirebot:

If you follow my posts, you may be beginning to sense a theme. I love finding ways in which video games help people (largely because I’m sick of nay-sayers who claim that video games are inherently bad… but let’s not get into a philosophical discussion here). Yet again, video games are proving to be helpful: a group of students from Singapore Polytechnic are creating video games to help people who have suffer . More »

Lots of things going on lately. First, I hope you guys enjoyed the wonderfully put together Halloween Special by Jinra and the Ningin Bloggers. Mixed within all of that is two great interviews of Harry Shum from Glee and my personal cosplay hero, Alodia Gosiengfiao. Then there’s the Wirebot - gaming community - expansion. The door was cracked open last week, but we’re going to make a big gaming push this week with tons of gaming related articles coming your away across the entire network starting tomorrow. And already it’s November 1st. November is going to be all about expansion as we’re looking to launch one new website a week. Yes you read that right, one website a week! Of course, we got some great prizes coming up from autographed memorabilia to Nintendo Wiis and Xbox360s. Lots of things to look forward too! More »

If Nintendo ever releases these in the States, I’ll definitely be getting on even though, I haven no reason to get a Wii. Crossing my fingers these come to the stats by the fall or during the holiday season. More »
