Nintendo Declares War Against Sony.

March 31, 2009 by Jack Belmont

With the announcement of the Playstation 2 being 99.99$ the big N has decided to strike back. Nintendo has said that they will lower the price of their console as well and promise new Mario and even more third party support. (Jump!)

Nintendo has lowered the price of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System to 150$ to compete with the recent price drop of the 9 year old Playstation 2. On top of that Nintendo has announce Super Mario Bros. 3 Super Metroid and promising third party games like Chrono Trigger and Mega Man X.

In a recent conversation a rep said “We at Nintendo feel it is time to lower the price of the SNES and push sales to compete in todays’ market. We hope to encourage new gamers to support our products at Nintendo and enjoy and new generation of gaming.” The rep also reported on a price drop of he Gameboy Pocket later this summer.

I’m Jack Belmont reporting on Sony’s numerically challenged staff.

Is World Of Warcraft (MMOs) a good way to meet a spouse?

May 6, 2008 by Micah Bleich

Dear Mercedes, I've been single for almost 4 years now, and I'm getting really desperate for some companionship. My friend met his current girlfriend by playing World of Warcraft, but that seems a little weird, even for me. Do you think playing online games is a reasonable way to meet women?

Short answer: No.

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
