Comments on: Japanese women are the biggest users of Wii and DS… ORLY? http://blog.shrub.com/archives/tekanji/2007-10-10_656 Because we care about stuff Thu, 07 Aug 2008 23:49:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Ben http://blog.shrub.com/archives/tekanji/2007-10-10_656#comment-130571 Ben Fri, 09 Nov 2007 02:18:38 +0000 http://blog.shrub.com/archives/tekanji/2007-10-10_656#comment-130571 Thought of you and this blog last night watching the show "Life." A key scene involved the cops trying to find some information that a guy who'd been kidnapped had hidden in a video game. The idea was you had to play it to a certain level to get access to the info. First, they try with the male, geeky Star Trek fan in the office...but he can't seem to get past the first level. So the kidnapped guy's sister is given a chance, and makes it. Thus helping to save her brother and the day through an exhibition of her superior geekery. As I say, made me think of you and this blog...for some reason.
