Also known as Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People. It came out for the Wii and PC yesterday and I, being a fan of SB work for several years while it kept me ocupado during college, felt it was about time I gave something back to those great little minds.

I love the game, it's a lot of fun. They did a great job.

HOWEVER.

It crashed on me twice yesterday and lost some of my save data. I am shocked that my console crashed too, not just the game. That was impressive. Wiis are not in the habit of crashing often. :( I'm guessing they were rushing to get the game out and couldn't test it fully. I don't want to understand that though, I just want my Snake Boxer High Score back! All that button mashing for NOTHING!

According to Ted Mininni (whoever that may be). I was hoping the trends would be a little more exciting than this, but I guess if it gets any more exciting than Huetrition we'll be carefully trying to avoid getting parakeet liver and swan toenails on our togas.

• “Huetrition” advances the idea of eating as many colored foods as possible. The natural pigments found in produce are valuable sources of phytonutrients, so this makes sense. Though this is simplistic, the basic concept: eat as many different colored foods as possible to achieve a balanced diet.
• “Beauty” foods and beverages contain antioxidants and collagen as well as skin-improving vitamins and minerals to combat free radicals. The article notes that “foods that combine function and indulgence” are ideal for some consumers. Chocolate truffles, anyone?
• “Smart foods” that are fortified with specific vitamins, amino acids or herbs that stimulate brain function appeal to many mature consumers due to claims of improved mental acuity. Ginkgo biloba anyone?
• “Fill You Up foods” add fiber, protein and essential fatty acids to suppress appetites and hopefully lower those calorie-packing snacks. Fiber rich foods sans bulk, that is.
• “Mood foods” offer full spectrum B vitamins, amino acids and mood-elevating herbs to help elevate moods, and even energize consumers in the mornings and calm them in the evenings.
• “Immunity Enhancers” are foods and beverages fortified with vitamins, antioxidants, probiotics. Every bit helps to ward off pesky colds, flu and a host of other ailments we’re all prone to.
• “Digestive Aids” have exploded with probiotics leaving the yogurt aisle and gradually being introduced into other foods. An aging population is perfectly primed for this trend. Not only are aids to digestion appreciated; so is nutrient absorption—a real issue as we age.


I have a feeling I'm going to be feeling sick and tired of baby boomer marketing in 3, 2, 1...wait I wonder if that falls under Mood foods?

...doesn't take crap from neighborhood cats
