Last night Comedy Central jumped on the Charlie Sheen bandwagon and devoted an almost two-hour special to him by making him the target of their most recent roast. I’m sure this will prove to be their most-watched one yet, since Sheen is fresh off the “crazy train” that was his meltdown. The dais had some familiar faces such as Jeff Ross, Jon Lovitz, and William Shattner, but also had some nobodies I had never heard of.

Little Mac is back for Punch-Out for the Wii. It plays very similarly to the NES Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out, minus the insanely difficult Tyson. I say this because while the controls can be used via waggling the Wiimote andNunchuck (a la Wii Sports Boxing), the game does not feel right unless you’re using the classic controls…that is, you turn the Wiimote on its side and use the 1 and 2 button as you would use the A and B button on a NES controller. This gives you a sense of nostalgia as you enter to ring to tangle with the classics like Glass Joe and King Hippo, as well as some new comers.
