Punch-Out!! returning to the Wii (5)

Boing Boing Gadgets (602) permalink
Nintendo's bringing Punch-Out to the Wii next year, but as a huge Mike Tyson's Punch-Out fan, I've got some reservations. It's certainly nice to see King Hippo, Glass Joe and Little Mac back, but I can't help but feel that the cel-shaded graphics are inferior to the glorious cartoon caricatures of Super-Punch Out! And then there's simply that shocked feeling of branding sacrilege that makes me sashay around the room, indignantly "Well! I never!"-ing. No ...- Jake said: Might make me turn on my Wii...

Literally (6)
on
Matthew Yglesias (395) permalink
Whatever merits Joe Biden may have as a Vice President, one problem — as his announcement speech made clear — is that he’s by far the greatest abuser of the term “literally” in American politics today. Were he to wind up in the Oval Office, I fear he might somehow get dictionaries to officially reclassify the word as a meaningless intensifier.- Alex C said: Meh. Like "really" and "totally" before it, "literally" is already meaningless, which is to say, figuratively quite meaningful.
- sc said: Pinker has a good section in "Stuff of Thought" about the natural cycle of hyperbolic terms - there's a constant churn as old ones wear themselves out and new ones bubble up.
