    Discordianism can be explained most simply as "a religion disguised as a joke disguised as a religion," or, religion for hippies. Followers of Discordianism greet each other with animal sounds, can only eat hot dog buns on Friday and hail the Greek goddess Eris. Eris is known to constantly brew chaos. Such is why she is the divine image of Discordianism. In their eyes, she is ever present and frequents bar where Zeus makes her drinks. Not only will you find her running amuck in the everyday life of her followers, she can also be found doing her normal chaos causing thing in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. Whether it is dropping buckets of water on Mandy's head or summoning mind-controlling Teddy Bears, she always finds a way to make things worse. Lucky for us, she is bringing her chaotic ways to the Wii. Wielding her Apple of Discord, who knows what trouble she will cause you. By the look of the image after the break, it could be quite a bit. Check out the screenshot after the break. You can see the chaos in her eyes ....

    Who would have thought that we would wake up to an image of the Grim's face from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy? Certainly not us. It was rather disturbing to our non-coffee eyes. On second thought, we are always happy to see more news about the Wii and games gracing the system with their presence. Midway had this to say: "The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy for the Nintendo Wii is expected to utilize features that are unique to the Wii system. This includes use of the split controls, motion sensing and more. The Wii version is intended to support both the GameCube and Wii controllers. The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy on the Nintendo Wii is also expected to include content–specific gameplay features that will be available only on the Wii platform. More details on these features will be released at a later date." While we haven't really seen a whole lot of games stem from cartoons do really well in this industry, we know that the Wii offers a fair chance to every game to fully utilize its unique controls. Go Nintendo also has some screens for you to check out.
