Yes, yes and yes again on playing cincy as much as possible. My match with sliq improved my game at a rate I find hard to believe, playing infern is too fun, and everything else really (except that cincy is a dirty ugly city =P).
As for the question on power circuits, yes, you will blow circuits. Wiis run about 100w, Tvs vary, 400 at most, but space heaters can pull 2 or 3 kilowatts. You should see the lights dim in my room when mine kick on.
As for meta? I hate him, but I'm ambivalent on the ban issue here.
