I don't believe he said all Wii games are like that, but that all Japanese are like that. And he's totally right.

I worked at a restaurant one in my life. One time, a waitress took an order from a family with a small child entered the food into the computer. At this restaurant, however, the drinks, water, soda, and other beverages were written on paper and brought to the bar for the bartender to fill. This particular waitress had bad handwriting and the bartender frequently got her orders wrong. This family got their order wrong too when the child ordered a 7-UP, but instead got a Brandy 7. The little kid guzzled it down and was drunky drunk by the time their food was served. Good thing for the restaurant that the family was a bunch of drunks themselves and though it was hilarious.

I totally agree. And you have to use the wooden ones, plastic ones are too slippery and are more difficult to use.

Also, Chemda's Japanese video game voice is HILARIOUS.

I'm happy to hear McNalley again. I was worried that he was too whipped to come back on the show.

In McNalley's case, that can be taken two ways.

I really miss his girl too. She was pretty funny and interesting. I guess I'll just have to check out McNalley's podcast if I wanna hear her.

Also, plastic and metal ones are much heavier and really hurt my hands. Otherwise then don't hurt me. I imagine they would if silly white folks use them wrong (which most do).

I tried the metal ones at a Korean restuarant, did not like them at all. So ackward and slippery. Give me my old fashioned wooden ones any day.

And when they're slippery you're forced to grip them tighter. It's just loads of discomfort.

And as for the whole wasting trees discussion, I doubt it. All paper used today is made from farmed trees. I can only imagine that the paper market is far greater than the disposable chopstick market. I think our trees will be fine.
