Facebook

Hi all,

Firstly, thanks for the support so far with the show - we really do appreciate it! But we'd like to take it further.

We've now set up a proper facebook "page" rather than a group - and we could do with your help getting it off the ground.

Right now we don't have a proper username - it has to have a minimum of 25 people "liking" the page in order for us to get one - so give us a hand and get involved!

You can currently find the page here - http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Bonus-Round/184261488276923

Thanks!

3DS Advertising

The Brit Awards were aired this week on ITV1 in the UK - the annual gathering of pop(ish) stars and random drunkards who make up the music industry in order to reclaim some form of glory from their fans and acknowledgement from their peers. Fun. If you like that sort of thing.

What surprised me was Nintendo's first airing of a 3DS ad in one of the commercial breaks - and with no games in sight.

It completely focussed on lifestyle, who to play with, connecting with people, what kind of person you will be if you own one. What happened to the Nintendo of my youth!?

I want them back.
