I was watching Big Bang Theory on CBS last night -- and there was a scene where two characters (Sheldon and Rajesh) are playing Mario Kart Wii. You see them with the Wii Wheels. You also see in-game action.

Unfortunately, the full episode is not available to view on-line (through standard channels -- why I do not know). But one of the three stills rotating on the episode home page right now shows the characters with Wii Wheels.

I am Mario.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

No surprise there, they have had after all Age Of Conan, Rockband, Mario on that great show.

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints
