New York Times clueless when it comes to Wii

GN 1.0 / 2.0

This is an actual conversation between two of the tech writers over at the New York Times. It appeared in their most recent podcast. Topic of discussion is the Wii Nunchuck attachment. (audio clip in comments section)

J.D. Biersdorfer: “I guess there’ll be some kind of martial arts thing, perhaps”

Tom Holcomb: “oh, boy. I’m not sure that’s a great idea.”

J.D. Biersdorfer: “Yeah, I guess it depends on the age of your kids and whether you want them nunchuking each other on the head.”

Tom Holcomb: “Remember what Bruce Lee did to teenagers with those nunchuks.

J.D. Biersdorfer: “It can be a little aggressive, perhaps, but they’re also encouraging community.”

Man, that just makes me shake my head. Perhaps a little research may have helped. These guys sound like they know as much about video games as Jack Thompson.
