More than two weeks had past since I played Wii Fit. The animated Balance Board avatar must have been stewing with fury. Somewhere, in the real world, I wasn’t exercising. Oh sure, I was outside, walking and enjoying the pleasant weather. Yet, that wasn’t good enough for my Nintendo friend. No, my Wii demands attention and today it got some.

I’m always impressed by the nonchalant attitude of New Yorkers. The majority of the populous can handle most unusual circumstances with nonchalance. In the middle of a busy city intersection.

I’m planning watch ArenaNet, and to figure out what they’re up to. At some point, maybe they’ll invite me into the beta just to keep me quiet. ArenaNet / NCsoft is a growing company, with lots of secrets. Eventually, someone will slip up and information will leak. You just have to know where to look. A good source of inside information is available through their job postings.
