Mostly Masculine
You are 67% male! If you're a guy:
You're a man, but you're don't fit into all of the stereotypes. A good place to be.

If you're a girl:
You're either a tomboy or extraordinarily horny. Or you cheated.

Note: 0% male means you're all female, 100% male means you're all male.Link: The What Gender Are You? Test

In other news, I've been watching E3 rather closely. E3 is possbly the gaming event of the year - all the big comanies and developers go and show off their latest ideas ad forthcoming ideas. This year is the year when Nintendo are showing off the Revolution - gah, I mean Wii (and if you haven't heard about the name change, where have you been?) - and I've seen some screenshots and reviews already. The Revo - I nean Wii - controller is a wireless thing that senses where it is in relation to the TV and moves according to how you move and hold it. This is also what Sony appears to have done for the PS3 now (can anyone spot keeping-up-with-the-neighbours?), which leaves Microsoft out of the loop on this one...

First off, Wario Ware: Sweet Moves - the wario ware series is basically lotsa minigames that come at you very quickly and you have to figure out what to do. Most of them are completely crazy. I have a version for the GBA and one for the DS - each offers about 200+ minigames, most of which are completely nonsensical and idiotic. and that's what makes them fun! The new one apparently (and yes, this is going off other people's reviews - I make no claims to be in LA right now having a go on these things *sulks*) has a variety of different ways to hold the Wii-mote (yes, that is what people are calling it) and having certain games work only in that way. For example. Holding it straight up is called the "Umbrella" position, and that's used for games like keep-the-plate-spinning or shake-the-apples-off-the-tree and other silly things. Many and varied games and positions (this sounds like a version of the Karma Sutra thinking about it...) should mean a very...odd playing experience.

Also, I've seen screenshots for Super Paper Mario. You remember Super Mario on the NES, way back in the mists of time? Try that updated and reinvented. The Paper Mario universe (I sound *so* pretentious saying that) has all the characters and just about everything being 2D and literally made from paper. The old paper Mario games udes to let you fold yourself up into paper aeroplanes, boats and various other bits and bobs so that you could get around the game more easily. Imagine a fusion of the two.
I've seen the screenshots here, and they look so cool it's untrue...

And yes, I know I'm a geek. But I have a gamecube (and hopefully a Wii in the future) and I'm looking forwards to these things. I'm so sad *goes off into a carner and cries*
