I just got an email from Nintendo with this in it:

GREG

It claims that my Mii will get into crazy and hilarious situations with my friends Mii. I’m hoping it will be like playing The Sims: Bath Salts Edition. However, I feel as if I’m going to be disappointed. Nintendo has never been known for being edgy.

All that aside, I questioned what the hell Tomodachi meant. Did a little research, apparently it means ‘friend’ in Japanese. Seems about right for Nintendo’s modus operandi. I then recalled these stupid egg shaped, watch, digital pet, keychain things from my teenage years, Tamagatchis. Could they be releated? Apparently Tamagatchi is a bastardation of tamago (egg) and tomodachi, so it’s your egg friend. Japan has been guilty of doing this for too long. It’s not clever. It’s stupid. Pika Chu and PokeMon (pocket monsters) for that matter. It’s no better than the tag team Rybaxel. It just sounds stupid.

Yeah…so Tomodachi Life. I’ll let you know how it is.

And yes, I know the picture comes out messed up.
