Man sells mother's Wii for booze and cigarettes screenshot

Christmas is long gone, which means that the spirit of giving has been replaced by far more important spirits — namely the spirit of taking, the spirit of drinking and the spirit of being a stupid dick. A 23-year-old man from Spring Hill, Florida stole his mother’s Wii and sold it, all for the want of some booze and smokes. Delightful.

Of course, Christopher Bayko wasn’t exactly a master criminal, and somehow expected to get away with stealing a game console from right under his mother’s nose. When questioned about the missing Wii, which was now sitting comfortably in a pawn shop, Bayko claimed it was at a friend’s house. We’ll never know how long he planned to keep that pretense up, because the moron left a receipt lying around the home that disproved his lie.

Goozex's most requested games on Nintendo systems are 'M' screenshot

Goozex, the game trading service, has released their list of the most requested games in 2009. The ten games across all platforms are fairly predictable, mostly being AAA titles released in 2008 or early in the year. Where things get interesting is in the nitty-gritty details, especially when it comes to Nintendo’s consoles.

The most requested game on the Wii wound up being MadWorld, while the DS saw Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
