I'll happily share my Wii with her for the holyDaze.

Come on, HAD to be said!

banmojo

Gadgets? There were gadgets there??

Back to topic quite a large number of people I know want a Wii for the hols.

cerebrus

Dang she is pretty hot. Looks mixed. Anybody got her name?

Kobe_No_Means_No

Carefully analyzing the tape I can see it was while talking about the Sling Player that she was thinking "yeah, he's actually kinda cute - I could totally date him" and then sometime around talking about the GPS her expression said "what was I thinking? no way I could date this dork. Get me outa here!"

But you had her for a moment Wilson, and that's a victory for the team in my book. Be proud.

weatherman

he did better than me, i'd be all "the slingbox takes your boobies and slings them out into the world"

EMoShunz

Yeah. Whatever. Back to the important question. What is her name?

hakubak

Hey, nice one Wilson! Awesome job.
She's quite attractive too.

Everything but the Slingbox doofusery was cool to watch.
(I kid, I kid. I'd never look that good on camera.)

Could whoever captures these get the cassette recorder a little closer to the TV speaker next time?
Argh, the 2-bit resolution! It burns!

If there's more for adults with the DS, then why did I take mine back due to not playing it?
Christ all the OTHER adults get in just as I'm leaving, is that it?
(I guess I left just in time!)

Great piece overall, but I didn't hear the word "Gizmodo" enough!

strider_mt2k

Additional thought: She's kinda similar to that perky hottie brunette from Las Vegas. And Wilson kinda looks like the dude that played her ex (the one who got rich, then bought the casino). Hmmmm....

banmojo

Nicely done Wilson! Can we bring her to CES with us?

BLAKELEY

Aww his first date! It is a shame she didn't know she was on one...

BlindsidesDork

she def@weatherman: She definitely glazes over during the GPS talk.

James

Wii Bowling eh?

That was so sweetly painful in that it was painfully sweet. Wilson, you're a natural.

92BuickLeSabre

@JESUS DIAZ: 10 points for the Homestar reference!

FredicvsMaximvs

The Sling Scene definitely took on a junior high school dance vibe, they both wanted it, but were too embarrassed. I think he could have salvaged the GPS glazing had he taken the bags, but alas.

YamIinLawSchool

I just fimished watching that video, and damn did he blow his chance with her. Take note Wilson. When a cute girl says "I wish there was a robot to carry this heavy stuff," That's when you offer to carry her stuff.

Bender

Am I the only one that noticed she did not pick up the spare?

Bender

decoy wedding band, that is.

spaceman37

I think I noticed a wedding band on Wilson in the Nintendo DS scene, of course it could be a decoy wedding ala George Costanza.

spaceman37

whats her name

thevoyeur

awwww...walking into the sunset? no? *sigh*

astrograph

@im_here_for_the_food: {pervert} only fair, she didn't offer to hold his. {/pervert}

EMoShunz

come on wilson you have no style dude. you didn't even touch her at all. no pat on the shoulder or a high-five(while playing the dumnb wiiiii). you didn't ever offer to hold her bag. shame on you. tsk tsk.

im_here_for_the_food

It would have been funny if the alarm sensor went off while they were fondling with the Digicams!

Earthslide

"I wish there was a robot to help me carry all this stuff home!" Yea, its name is Wilson!

Noobs-R-Us

Wilson you rock! She was hot and she was diggin' on you. Let's hope all the hot chicks see this and start shopping for a nice techie guy this holiday season. This is the best thing to happen to tech guys since Revenge of the Nerds

rednecktech

note that she didn't just say "I wish there were a robot to help me carry this heavy stuff" she said "I wish there were a robot to help me carry this heavy stuff HOME" Rothman, you poor fool

quendiljt

Is that vanessa hudgens?

thevoyeur

Was he reffering to Phoenix Wright when he said "practice law"?
C'mom, no need to lie on those... DS are still for games, and there are absolutely no adult exclusive titles. And the most "adult" title ever is boring... yes, I'm talking about teen witch touchan gaem Doki Doki Majo Shinpan.
I'm 27, have one, and still enjoy it though.

Lucky me I don't need violence, sex or epic graphics and "seriousness" to get some fun.

Bokusatsu_Tenshi

Oh Wilson, you're opening over-enthusiastic excitement for playing the Wii was so cliche.

Trowble

that was painful to watch

tellahoohooo

@Bender: Am I also the only one who noticed that when they were playing Wii Tennis "together", she didn't even have a controller in her hand?

LastVigilante

Wilson, you stud you. You had her at the Wii bowling, dude. You could have closed the deal then and there, but you moved on the the other more sophisticated technology that she simply did not understand and she glazed over and lost the glow.

Next time you "show her around", save the Wii for last, and invite her over to your place to continue the bowling game (best for observing her assets).

Go get her!

OldSchoolGadgetLover

@YamIinLawSchool: Perhaps the GPS discussion merely wasn't terribly interesting to her. GPS is after all a maturing technology, and one no doubt she already uses. Of course, I think placing my romantic hopes on a television personality probably isn't the most reasonable of pursuits, anyway. Who could discern her sincerity?

graphophone

Hot.

dead_red_eyes

wanna see more wii jumpin' up and down ooga ooga!

tomaartist

who is that GIRL????!!!

thevoyeur

i agree with the asessment of others here.

i believe he had her early on, and like someone said, should have just ended the show right then and there, booked a hotel, and been done with it, but instead, he decided to go for the grand slam "i want to marry you for life deal by showing you how absolutely geek tech i am" and that just killed him.

what are the odds he did close the deal after the show?

i say 20 to 1.

pixelchild

"Feel free to turn it on and play with it."
BestBuy employees a little punchy this time of year?

Ben Zvan

@thevoyeur: No, she's hot.

Roflcopter_Down

Congratulations, Wilson! Giz is finally getting some real-world air time on TV, and cuddling up with Ray Wertz and the folks at Jalopnik in doing so. I thought Ray and the gang were the only Gawker editors to get TV play. Good on ya!

J.T.

HE BLEW IT

AznSmith

does she actually have shit for brains? she sounds exactly like jillian from family guy. "
Friend 1: I love lip gloss!
Friend 2: So do I!
Jillian: Gloss rhymes with hair!

AznSmith

that was the most scripted conversation i've ever seen on daytime television

AznSmith

If I remember correctly, Wilson is married. Doesn't he have kids too?

Ethan Allison

Ok all of you commenter's riffing on Wilson seriously need to rethink your criticisms.

Sure it's easy to say 'Oh he could've had her if he did this and this' but remember you're watching it from a third person point of view. Everything is always clear and easy in hindsight. Place yourselves in his shoes, he's on TV, he's talking to a hot chick whose attention is focused on him, he's an awkward nerd, could any of you fare better?

Probably not.

mrmarried

Damn, that chick is really, really, really hot.

Kered

Again, Wilson Schmilson - what is HER name? Surely someone at Giz can get the 411. Need the info.

hakubak

The correct answer to her last desire is: "I can be such robot, just let me be polite and carry this heavy tech thingies to your place".
FAIL!

whiskey

WHATS HER NAME!?

Solidsky

Guys just go Ga Ga for girls who feign ignorance about technology. It's just so insanely sad.

Pity I'm one of 'em really!

idiot_savant

OMG Wilson. You're so awkward. No hugs or even a hifi. One measly attempt to put your arms around her and you quickly retreated.

Confucius say man named Wilson not have will son unless he practice more.

ninjatales

You know how I know you're gay?...

hakubak

I stumbled across this: [tinyurl.com] (safe).

If that's the same attractive young lady, and it appears to be, then she's Vanessa Rae. [www.vanessarae.net]

Back off, Wilson. She's mine!

blomster

Thats totally her.
Blomster rules. all hail blomster
