Even though the Nintendo Wii enters millions of new homes each month as the set-top box du jour, it's no video player. There's no Netflix, no Blu-ray drive, not even a proper DVD slot.

Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People just became about as cool and attractive as possible. Well, that's not true -- I won't be satisfied until Senor Cardgage gets more than an offhand mention in the games, but it's pretty close -- Episode three, Baddest of the Bands, is going to contain the ultimate glam [...]
