Yeah, every once in a while I take a look at what he's working on. What I'd really like to see is an announcement that he's developing "Wii Battlecrooz", a Wii port of BCM utilizing easily-remembered motion-controls for each keyboard command. For example, if you wanted to switch to the TacOps screen, instead of "Alt-S" you do the "Mashed Potato"; and to fire lasers, instead of "Shift-Ctrl-Scroll Lock" you do the arm motions for the Village People's "YMCA". I tell ya, it'd knock "Wii Fit" right off the shelves. > I agree with most of what he is saying over there. Right. For old time's sake, then: *BING* Bret
