Okay... now I'm doomed

[tiggymalvern]

The SO brought home a Wii tonight, and we've spent big chunks of the evening playing doubles tennis. My arm aches now. Because technically you only have to flick your wrist, but somehow you end up doing the full actions, at full strength. Though I do have the satisfaction of kicking his arse in skillz, hah! And I appear to be the only person in his immediate circle who can play baseball. Home runs 50% of the time straight off, baby!

This is going to eat my time more than Railroads!, which I also started on today....

Ha, we saw the fanboys camped outside Best Buy Saturday night waiting for their Wiis (sounds so dirty). Is this Railroads you're talking about part of the Railroad Tycoon series (love that game)?

You really don't have to camp out for a Wii, just wait a couple of days. Unlike the PS3, they've actually made enough of them.

It's not, but it's a similar idea. It's Sid Meier's (of Civ) take on the genre. Kind of like Locomotion in that it's all based around completing scenarios.

From what you wrote, I assumed the Wii was something related to games, but had to google it to find out what it really was. :) I'm so uninformed about any kind of... are they still called "video" games? XD

Most of the machines now are referred to as 'games consoles', the games are the individual pieces of software XD The only thing nobody's figured out about the brilliance of the Wii, is why Nintendo decided to call it the Wii....

WANT.

This thing is going to sell itself - anyone who visits who friend and plays for 10 minutes is going to want to buy one. It's so clever, it's genius!

The problem with guitar hero is it makes my fingers ache! I can literally only play it for half an hour or so before I need to give it a break. The Wii isn't that demanding on the little finger XD

I think a lot of people are sitting around playing with their Wiis tonight.

[tiggymalvern.livejournal.com]

Most likely!

Oh nos.

I might have to have this.

[tiggymalvern.livejournal.com]

Seriously - every home should have one XD
