Everybody is making cutbacks.

This doesn’t really have much to do about anything but that doesn’t make it any less awesome. I have been playing more video games again lately, but tetris hasn’t been in the current rotation. I might have to look that up in wiiware.

It looks like the greatest poker show on TV, is back on track. High Stakes Poker is set to start taping in September and I can’t wait until they start showing new episodes. Oh, and the WSOP coverage on ESPN starts tomorrow too.

Seriously, if nintendo makes this their commercial for their wii fit system, even at $170 a pop, this is the best selling video game of all time. Period. It’s over. GG everyone else.

(via wicked chops)

Hell, I’m even tempted to go plop down almost 200 bones for this after watching that. Err, I mean, I think the kids would love it.

If you substitute candy for toys and a free spirited boy with a piano prodigy avoiding adulthood and you have the differences between Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium. Although what it lacks in Oompa Loompas, it makes up for in unoriginality. There you have it. I’ve saved you 93 minutes. You don’t have to thank me.

If this is true, then it’s pretty much good game TV Poker for me. Not that I don’t try and watch the WPT and the WSOP coverage, but I’m a cash game player and this was always thee show to watch for cash game play. Plus I thought the filming structure they had was better. It’s harder for me to find almost 2 hours to watch a WPT episode and I’ve been disappointed with how much the WSOP coverage edits out all but what seems to be the allin hands.

I guess the best I can hope for is that some one else will pick it up. I really don’t see why thye wouldn’t since everyone still thinks that poker is still marketable (even if it’s appeal may have dropped a bit) and I think GSN will find they get better viewership from HSP, than from the WPT. Perhaps that will motivate them to pick it back up too. We’ll see.
