OK, it was never enough for the smart marketers but go with me on this one. Anyway, Wii has placed some Wario Land Shake It game play footage on YouTube that delivers a decidedly different online video experience.

It’s only fitting that video pages get the same takeover love “regular” web pages have for so long from the likes of Pointroll, Eyeblaster and other expand-o-banner techniques. Have a look.

The quietest crisis in modern retirement isn’t financial. It’s the thousands of men who had exactly one friend, and that friend was their wife, and now every social need they have runs through a single person who is also trying to figure out who she is without a schedule.
