...Shigeru Miyamoto, but I guarantee you, you know his work. Miyamoto is probably the most successful video-game designer of all time. Maybe you've heard of a little guy named Mario? Italian plumber, likes jumping? A big angry ape by the name of ... Donkey Kong? The Legend of Zelda? All Miyamoto. To gamers, Miyamoto is like all four Beatles rolled into one jolly, twinkly-eyed, weak-chinned Japanese man. At age 53, he still makes video games, but he also serves as general manager of Nintendo's entertainment analysis and development division. It is an honor to hula...
After Warioware, we play scenes from the upcoming Legend of Zelda title, Twilight Princess, a moody, dark (by Nintendo's Disneyesque standards) fantasy adventure.

She doesn't look as though she could take on an Olsen twin, let alone the monsters marauding through her homeland, but fortunately she can transform into 10 different elemental warriors, including a flower with a very nasty attitude. Psychedelic and Zelda-esque, Kameo is the most distinctive of the 360 launch titles. It's the closest you will get to dreaming with your eyes open...
...Highly available—they will marry you and subsequently have homosexual affairs).These three types are merely the most glaring forms of metrosexuality on the Harvard campus. Indeed, almost every Harvard male has incorporated some of the aesthetic. Even some math majors have foregone their Zelda t-shirts and flood pants and embraced the niceties of a crisp white oxford and leather satchels.As a fashion columnist (really, the highest form of modern anthropologist), I regard metrosexuality with mixed feelings. Of course, in many ways it’s a sign of societal progress. According to the well-known mathematical...
