Ace campaigner Ed Maxfield very kindly came to Nottingham yesterday to help out with delivering leaflets and canvassing in some of our key ward campaigns.

As a treat, he got to christen our guest facilities (which are nearing completion not because I have finally sorted out my junk mountain, but rather because much of the junk mountain has been relocated to the attic) and have a go on the Wii.

Although Wario left him cold, he was rather taken with some of the Wii Sports games, and really took to Wii Tennis. After a few rounds we found we were actually quite well matched, and some close games ensued.

Whilst we were playing this, I noticed a fab detail – whenever a point is won, the game replays the foul or the out, etc from a different camera angle.  The camera tracks the tennis ball across the court, and as it does, the four players there variously come into and go out of focus, depending on how far they are from the ball’s position on the court.

That’s quite some attention to detail.  A nice touch of verisimilitude.  I wonder how many people will have even spotted it?
