I love that the wii has ranked me as an amateur at "Penguin Slide". This implies that somewhere there is a professional league of people who dress up in penguin costumes and slide on ice floes to catch fish in their mouths for the amusement of an all-penguin audience.

I don't know, Laga, I'm ranked a professional penguin slider, and that troubles me even more.

Since I'm linking, we just got these awesome black cards [link] as well as this deck that looks like it's a hundred years old. [link]
I personally hate card games, but we've been dinking with using cards as randomizers in lieu of dice in some RPG systems. This is something Deadlands started, and it's been pretty decent depending on the system and what you are going for. The way the deck looks can help the whole flavor of the game.

My wii fit is being so mean to me today. First it asked me if I fall over when I walk, then when it told me my "wii fit age" first it said "43" and then the 3 crumbled into a 4. wtf wii fit? I'm still happy though, I've lost 4 pounds and 4 "years".
