What is Metaspherical?

It's an idea; it's about encompassing all aspects of reality into as coherent a picture as can be formed. It's about showing the fellow human being things which he or she may have been unaware of. It's about truth.

Metaspherical is also where I show the world my creative work in its different forms. Enjoy!

They argue about who is better and even though intelligence is a very good thing for a woman to have, my choice does not involve a spark of thought.

My point is that even though I'd easily pick the hot blonde, I'd also easily pick the Wii--the new console made by Nintendo for those who don't know--over the Playstation 3. Nintendo has decided not to give their company name equal or more weight than their console name this time, so it's not Nintendo Wii, it's just Wii.

The name 'Wii' is so clever, too. It is pronounced 'we' and symbolizes everyone, or we, playing together. This is also seen in the ii part of Wii, where you have two people standing together. The i's also symbolize the controllers. They have obviously put a lot of thought into this and I like seeing so much meaning in three simple letters. Speaking of simple letters, 'Wii' is also simple so it can appeal to everyone around the world.

Sure, you can have a lot of fun with the name. "Hey guys, let's go play with my Wii!" It goes on and on. Also one of the launch titles is Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII. It almost looks like Blazing Angels: Squadrons of Wii, but that could just be funny to me. Wii'll see (I had to). But leave it to Nintendo to own some real-life noobs (kids and/or idiots) with their name alone. This guy got owned trying to make a comment about the hot girl in the video:

See, he just looks like he wants some man-loving instead.

This is my opinion (or is it?), but Nintendo is the best console-gaming company out there. Sega finally died and started making games for other consoles *cough*Nintendo* so that battle is over. Xbox is made by Microsoft so I need not continue. The PS3 has great DVD-playing support but will cost either $500 or $600, which is humorous to me. Sony's dubious spyware tricks show us something about that company anyway. The Wii is going to cost $250 and it's a lot less than half the size as PS3 as well. It has a new way to play games with its three-dimensional sensing wireless controller which looks really interesting. Those aren't the only reasons why Nintendo is the best, of course.

Nintendo brought gaming to the world if you think about it. Super Mario Bros, Metroid, Zelda. Who hasn't heard of those names? I didn't mean to turn this into a pedestal for Nintendo but I'm just stating facts. Their consoles and games are always so durable. One winter I lost a Virtual Boy game. The next spring I found it in the yard; it had fallen into the snow where it stayed until the snow melted--all winter long. That was a cartridge remember, not a disc, and it worked just fine.

The games are always superior as well. The games I mentioned earlier have always been top notch and pretty much flawless. Just look at Metroid Prime for GameCube. The graphics and sound are crystalline and beautiful, the gameplay is superb, the storyline is great, and the overall feel and immersion is awesome. This game is easily on par with the top games of the competing consoles of the GameCube's generation. In my opinion it's much better than those other games and you have to admit it's hard to top a game like that.

Not convinced? Here's a top ten list of the best video games of all time taken from:

Yahoo! UK & Ireland Games 2006

Rank	Title	Publisher	Year
1	Tetris	Alexey Pajitnov	1987
2	Super Mario 64	Nintendo	1996
3	Pokemon	Nintendo	1995
4	Pro Evolution Soccer 4	Konami	2004
5	Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time	Nintendo	1998
6	Monkey Island 2	Lucas Arts	1990
7	Super Mario Kart	Nintendo	1992
8	Goldeneye 007	Rare	1997
9	Street Fighter II	Capcom	1991
10	Elite	Acornsoft	1984

While this list, which I got from The Best Video Games in the History of Humanity, is by no means THE list of the best games, it is one of a large number of lists. This just happens to be the first list so I chose it. It's far from my personal top ten list of games, but even a random list like this one has seven of ten games either made by Nintendo or are on a console made by Nintendo. Check this excellent chart out that compiles all of the lists from the first link and gives points according to rank in each top ten list. Super Mario 64 comes in first followed by nine out of ten games that are on Nintendo consoles, six of which are either Mario, Zelda, or Metroid.

Side note: A soccer game wouldn't be on a top ten list in the US. In fact, there's only one other game with the word soccer in it on a top ten list at The Best Video Games in the History of Humanity and that list is by Retro Gamer, a British magazine.

So anyway, the Wii wins. It was the hot chick that did it for me.
