Addictive gaming at its worst ... and sexiest

OK, the Wii phenomenon has grown into an exaggerated mania that has taken over the world, not that it would be a bad thing, especially for us, gamers. It's weird to check out some of the latest Wii game trailers and find a YouTube video with 1 million plus views that features a sexy British girl who has a funny dialog with her console. I'm willing to bet every console I own on the fact that the people who checked out the video wanted to see the girl and not the Nintendo Wii.

The girl may be a bit superficial, almost crying when the Wii mocks her passion for the Paper Mario title, but she also mentions a couple of things, which are common for an avid gamer's life. In the end of the video, she says that she hasn't showered and changed clothes for some time, so it turns out that Nintendo's best-selling console can become an addiction, making you forget the basics of hygiene. Some of the viewers of the vid have called the gaming girl a Marilyn Monroe of YouTube, but she's just another Mario addict, arguing with the Wii.

She must have failed to complete all of the title's levels, but the girl seems convinced that she's not good at any other Wii game, except for maybe bowling, in Wii Sports. All of you gamers out there, reading this and drooling at the cute girl, should start wondering when the last time you showered was... How long have you worn those clothes? Do you chat with your console? Do you cry when you can't finish a Paper Mario level?

This is not an interrogation, but rather a reminder of the bad effects of addictive gaming, a phenomenon brought up accidentally by a cute young lady gamer.
