Nintendo Is King
For the first time since the SNES, Nintendo is now dominating the console wars. According to The Financial Times, Nintendo has surpassed Microsoft as the top selling next-generation console. The sad thing for Microsoft is that the Wii has been on the market for less than 1 year unlike the Xbox 360! Analists attribute the Wii dominance due to it’s low cost and broad gamer appeal. The Wii surpassed the PS3 worldwide sales since July 2007.
It’ll be interesting to see how long Nintendo can hold the #1 spot, especially with the imminate launch of Halo 3. The question that is on every analyst’s mind is, have all the Halo fans already purchased a Xbox 360? If they have, the Xbox 360 might be #2 for potentially the rest of the console cycle.

To support the war, we here at StuffWeLike have created a channel dedicated to remembering the fight against the Covenant. Stay tuned for another insiders look called “Diorama” – launching September 14.
Now Playing: Amorousness
Amorousness is without a doubt the most artistic film ever aired on StuffWeLike.com’s Original Shows. It’s actually the first film on StuffWeLike.com that I didn’t have any personal involvement. It’s also the first of several films in which we hope to create a bold and new direction with the ‘Original Shows’ (for you old SWL fans, Our Movies) on The Pipeline. We’ll reveal more information about these upcoming films as the productions on them begin. After you watch Amorousness, read the Director’s comments.

John-Erik Reese (Director): “This film is essentially a poem told with images. Much like an Ingmar Bergman or Jean-Luc Godard film, my short film takes a simple idea and a central theme as the necessary foundation, thus, making the two components revolve around the story completely.
My approach for the short was to make it ambiguous and anomalous for the motive that a simple thing (whatever it may be in life) is always much more intricate in its very own unique way. This short film is based on existential philosophy dealing with inner conflict, vanity, self-existence, and most prominently disconnected love.
I hope that everyone who views this may perhaps interpret the meaning his/her own way (as it was meant to be) and also may consider that images might perhaps appear as a meaning of its own (ex. Fire is seen in the beginning of the film as a symbol of love’s great fuel. Water, which is seen later, is a symbol for the love’s cooling or simply putting out the flames, which essential relates to the two figure characters).
Amorousness is, for all intents and purposes, filled with meaning and promising interpretation, the only aspect it requires is the initial thought.”

Microsoft continues the Halo 3 propaganda with several other sweepstakes:
Iron Man = Next Marvel Success
If there has ever been a doubt about what Marvel will do next with their “left-over” super heroes, put all your doubts to rest. Apparently Marvel can still make an amazing piece of work that will both please fans and general movie goers. Unlike Ghost Rider, Elektra, and all the other crappy super hero films that Marvel has put out in recent years, Iron Man looks to be the most amazing film to come out of Marvel’s vaults since the original Spider-Man film back in 2001! The worst part about the Iron Man movie is that we’ll have to wait till next year to see it in theaters.
Watch and drool of the trailer RIGHT NOW!
