I figured it was time for a bit of a change, so I updated the design on gitsandshiggles.com. It’s not really a new design, though- I just re-did all of the images.
Month: January 2007
Wow, Nintendo. Wow.
So, this is pretty amazing. The weekly Japanese game sales for the first week of 2007 are in, and the top 15 game sales are ALL for Nintendo systems.  In fact, out of the top 30, only 7 are for non-nintendo systems.

On a completely unrelated note
I have been having issues trying to get posts on here with video embedded in them (like, from youtube.) Every time I have posted one recently, it’s caused the entire wordpress theme to break, and only the page background displays. Anyone know anything about wordpress and can advise me on why thats happening? Because frankly, I’m stumped. I’ve deleted like 15 posts recently because of this problem.
The year is now 2-007
It’s an absolute travesty that there’s not a new James Bond movie due out this year.
They should have delayed Casino Royale
