Yes, this is old, but we here at Game|Life are passionate about spreading the word about safe sex, and apparently, in this alternate reality version of my childhood, so was Nintendo. Honestly, the actual sex ed videos we watched in eighth grade weren't any less silly than this.
Yes, this is another one of those blog posts where people get to comment on the low, low state of Wired these days and how non-newsworthy this is. If you'd like a more thorough explanation of why we do this, it's after the jump. If you just want lulz, they are above.
In addition to providing you with timely news and opinion about the medium and the industry of videogames, we're also attempting to catalogue the various ways that game culture manifests itself on the Web. Certainly, this video alone wouldn't merit a cover story in Wired magazine, but Web 2.0 is one of the biggest stories right now. Viral videos and fan mash-ups are a big part of that.
To put it another way, if Game|Life was around back in 2000, I'd be motherf***ing rich right now we would have had links to "All Your Base" videos. Each one of them would probably have garnered the same reaction (why are you posting this?) but in the aggregate, the craze and what it represented was quite newsworthy. Blogs let us catalog these things as they happen.
