In the newest 2BN feature, we're asking you if you'd rather have a one-night stand with Megan Fox (for the guys, or the ladies that like ladies), Brad Pitt (for the gals, or the men into the rougher sex), OR would you rather get a brand spanking new Wii, with a complete complement of new accessories, and any game of your choice? And it's yours to keep, forever, or until you break it by trying to have sex with it.
TOLEDO - Just as you thought the Nintendo crew might want to slow down for a bit and chillax at the beach with some tasty margaritas, they have just recently stated that there is no rest for the company destined to rule the world. The topic of discussion? Higher-dimensional gaming.
BIRCHMONT - This morning Nintendo added even more old games you've already played to the Wii library. According to Kotaku.com (or by logging into the shopping channel and just looking) the new weapons in the Wii arsenal are Gaplus, Star Force, The Tower of Druaga, Mappy, with Space Harrier and Solvalou coming soon. They'll run you about 500 Wii points each. For those of you that remember playing these in the arcade, 500 Wii points translates to approximately 20 quarters, or 25 tokens if your local arcade had the "family deal" like mine did!
Thats the problem with kids these days, they have it so easy, not like us OGs that had to walk to the arcade in 6 feet of snow with nothing but the warmth from our power sucking Game Gear backlit screens to keep us warm. Now all they need to do is go riding up the internets and plug into the tubes that bring them good gaming stuffs. What's next, hoverboards?

Recheck your credit card balance -- if you're close to the limit, now is the time to settle up. There are lots of ways to manage debt like shaking trees and selling the apples that fall out. If you didn't understand this piece of advice, it's because you don't play Animal Crossing, and therefore, are not a complete idiot. Congratulations.
Dear Mercedes, My girl says she's interested in video games, but whenever I talk about them for more than 30 minutes, she gets a glazed look and seems annoyed.
About Mercedes and this column:
So this traipse into column-self-worship/thinly-veiled-right-to-brag
has been a long time coming. I've only been in existence for 25 years
(and sleeping around/making out for about 11 of them) so I am sure many
of you are wondering what makes me so qualified to be giving anyone
