If someone isn't developing an iOS copy of this, they should.

I really want to translate the "Wake-Up Club" thing for you guys to let you know how really stupid it is, but I'm lazy and Ryan is pretty on the spot with what he said. The apps name めざまし同盟 can be translated a few interesting ways though. For example, "Alarm Clock Alliance", "Alarm Clock Union", or "Alarm Clock League" haha.

They should add a "snitch" like the one from JK Rowling's Harry Potter epic franchise book series that randomly flies really fast around different club member's vitas. Whoever hits it first gets snooze points that they can cash in or collect to sleep longer. Conversely, you could save up your snooze points to then wake others up a few minutes early. See Japan? I just turned your app into an actual game! Snooze Wars. Sleep Battle Toshiden. REM Fighters Ex.

The more Ryan says "...wake-up..." the more mesmerizing it is.

There is a thin layer of chemicals on the vita that will cause you to go back to sleep if you fail at Wake Up Club! Only included in the collectors edition.

Ryan seems to have a great use for the stand that comes with Kid Icarus. I might just have to buy Kid Icarus to get that coveted iPhone stand!

I would totally be down with this. I'm not super into waking up, but I enjoy being up enough to where I actually do get up pretty early. This would help ease the discomfort and confusion of that first ten minutes.

I could wake up within three seconds. My inner clock is so good I always wake up within about 3-4 seconds of the exact same time.

I seriously can't understand why Ryan doesn't own a Vita.

Like, don't they all own a 3DS even though none of them seem to care about it?

I don't see how Ryan can say he has absolutely no interest in it. It's your job to be interested in videogames, Ryan.

What's that have to do with Vita?

FUCKEN SNAAAAAAAAAP.

For real though, except for during PAX time and E3, I regret buying the 3DS at launch every single stupid day. Finally realized that my life just doesn't have room in it for a dedicated portable gaming device anymore. If I buy a Vita, it'll actually probably be because of something stupid like Wake-Up Club + money I clearly shouldn't be allowed to have anymore.

If you're looking for game coverage from people who have played, are playing, and will play every video game on every platform ever, please, stop.

Fuckin double snap, I feel like Ryan is a gaming version of silent bob on the comments, never talks but when he does it's profound.

I don't know any grown up who doesn't work in the gaming industry who has time for a dedicated gaming device like the vita or DS. IMO phones have the few stupid games I need to waste 10 minutes here or there anything more I should probably be doing something I'm avoiding.

I want to play a game called Clock Blockers where an alarm clock is going off and you rip it out of the wall and fucking throw it across the room.

...except it's not a game. It's real.

I found the theme song for "Reax"!

This video needs remixed with John Drake as the lead singer.

Nah, it's not out. I remember reading about it on a PS Blog a few days ago, but it was just a preview, only Paint Park is out right now.

He's not even being subtle about it any more. I want the next Ryan Reax to be about wall and ceiling shopping, where Ryan touches walls and ceilings and they talk about the textures, and then Jeff films the walls/ceilings and zooms in and out and films them at MTV angles so we can judge the texture for ourselves and whether we should buy them or not.

I am already part of my own wake-up club. We wake up at the right time EVERY DAY.

That time just happens to vary from day-to-day.
