Cartoonish caricature of the console wars warms our cockles [update]

Update: The embeddable player gave us some difficulty, so we cut it from the post. Hit up the "read" link below to check out the video.

What better for a Monday than a cartoon talking about the console wars, wouldn't you say? Wait, do you smell that? It's fanboy debate, simmering at a nice temperature and waiting to be turned into a full-on boil. We know you're ready to break the doors of our post down and leave your two cents. So, have at it!

Oh, and watch if only for the PS3's role as an ottoman for the Wii. It's pretty funny.

Wear your NES badge proudly

Gamers spend so much time playing video games that they're often forced to procrastinate work and neglect loved ones, but do they ever get any appreciation for their sacrifices? No -- gaming is a thankless task, indeed. So, what do we want, a medal?

Why yes, yes we do.

For all the times you bravely played Battle Toads, knowing that you would most likely die and have to start again; for all the times you risked your, er, Mario's life to rescue the princess; for all the times you tried to beat Contra without the Konami code -- consider yourself a hero.

This NES medal of honor can be bought at Supermandolini, but the going price for glorification these days is apparently €18 ($27 USD). Hey, we never said that honor came cheap.

Watch movies on your Wii!
