I'd like to see HLTV Sessions left in this posting. They continue every Saturday night, and all remain invited.

( and Wii isn't a stupid name. )

I thought it was a brilliant marketing move. It's bigger than some folks understand.

Yes, it is.

Everyone else gets a butch name: "Can I get the PS3 version? Do you have Madden for the 360?"

Now, contrast that with Nintendo: "Can I get Resident Evil for Wii?"

Let's make Nintendo seem even more "kid-y"!

Then again, they are doing well financially, so they must be doing something right.

And as for HLTV, I'm more than willing to include anything that happens around here, I just need a heads up before Thursday.

That's my fault. The HLTV sessions happen weekly, but I didn't make a list for last week's recurring events to contribute to the weekly news post. I've gotta make doing that a part of my routine.
