Guitar Hero Beef
Since you've already read Jane's wonderful rant about the problems with Guitar Hero, I'd like to humbly submit my own notes around dissatisfaction with Guitar Hero (despite my love for Guitar Hero).
You a Straight Chump If You Ain't Playing Nintendo
Here's an MP3 of WWE wrestler John Cena freestyling about the NES [via waxy].
Nintendo Soundtracks
Finding it a little too quiet at work? Zophar's Domain has a huge archive of NSF files, music dumps of Nintendo/Famicom game soundtracks. (There's also GameBoy and SNES sound files available.) You'll need a special player to play these music files, and there are a mess of plug-ins for Winamp. OS X users should grab a copy of Audio Overload.

Nintendo DS Brain Age
Come for the Sudoku, stay for the Math Triangle. "Brain Hacks in a box." - Anil Dash. (*****)- Game Boy Movie Player/Emulator
I hadn't had the to time to play with my movie advance player recently, but it's improved by leaps and bounds. The video encoding and quality is better than it has to be for your Gameboy/DS screen, and you can also listen to music while you're reading ebooks. It also plays gameboy ROMs. And sometime in the past year the price dropped to $25. And it works with the gameboy micro. I cannot rave enough about this little creature. (*****) 
Nintendo: Nintendo DS - Animal Crossing: Wild World
I'm David, living in Brooklyn. (*****)
Capcom: Nintendo DS Viewtiful Joe: Double Trouble
Viewtiful is the new Mario - discuss. (****)- Nintendo: Nintendo DS Mario Kart Bundle
The Red DS, with Mario Kart included. (*****) 
Nintendo: DS Mario Kart
Best. Kart. Ever. (*****)
Nintendogs - Chihuahua
It's here! Only $14.99 at Target.- Nintendo DS Zoo Keeper
Mike from Mule Design says: "Simple and addictive matching game. Crack for the DS." I love it too. (*****) - O3 Software: Alien Hominid
Rrecommended by Souris, side scroller with old-school personality and Viewtiful Joe sense of humor. The Nintendo polish that I expect isn't quite there, and it feels like a Playstation port of an old arcade game (the usual nintendo buttons don't work - b for back, for instance). This is partly intentional, I know, but I think this game is intended for more serious gamers. (***) 
Nintendo DS
At once overhyped and misunderstood. Mario 64 DS is wonderful. (*****)
Spider-Man 2: The Movie 2
My favorite non-Nintendo produced Gamecube game, by far. Best graphics outside of Zelda, and fastest action outside of Ikaruga. (****)
Nintendo: Wario Ware, Inc.:Mega Microgame$
Should come included with the DS! (*****)
GameCube Broadband Adapter
Why stop at 1? Why not buy 3? (****)
BELKIN A3X126-7BK 7-Foot CAT 5e UTP Crossover Cable
If you don't have a computer genius around to cut your standard ethernet cable in half and rewire it, you'll need one of these. This is overpriced but convenient. (**)
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
We love this. (*****)
Miyamoto: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
More than reason enough to buy a Nintendo. Probably the most beautiful video game ever made. (*****)
