Back to the Nintendo Wii discussion.. I had the chance to try it out last night with a few hours of Monkeyballz or some such whimsical nonsense. It was jam packed with all kinds of party games each of which take anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes each so the action and excitement never stops! The controls were cool although a bit quirky at times. I got the feeling that I could get used to them pretty easily. One thing that was demonstrated pretty readily was the variety of gameplay that is made possible by the Wiimote. There are two gameplay buttons per hand: the wiimote has "A" on the top under your thumb and "B" is the trigger finger. The left hand (optional detatchable nunchuck) has two triggers "C" and "Z." There's also a joystick on the nunchuck and a D-pad on the wiimote. Those were only used for the more complex games :)
All in all I'd have to say that Nintendo's chances for getting some of my money drastically increased last night.

This guy likes the Dragon Ball Wii game. I heard Red Steel the game with the gun/katana stuff was clunky though.

Nintendo held some event for the Wii up in seattle a few weeks ago and I played tennis boxing and duck hunt. (The line for zelda was redonkulous so I just watched other nerds tear up some crazy monsters). They were all entertaining especially after lots of rum--2 double shots of rum 2 rum and cokes and a zombie (dark rum light rum and cranberry juice). I could totally see someone taking a drunken virtual swing and landing a very real punch--most likely on themselves but perhaps on the opposition. Regardless it should make for some goodtimes. Plus you can buy anywhere from three to eight Wii's for the price of one PS3. My only complaint is that the graphics aren't stellAR but ::two drunken thumbs up:: for the Wii gameplay! (Buy a DS first though so I can whoop your ass in tetris) :D
p.s. - FF3 for the DS is a good buy if you're a FF fan anyhow.

"Blaine Stuart of Rochester New York mistakenly whacked his fiancee..." I call shenanigans. If anything this is more incentive for people (like Steve) to buy Wii's. :D
Dude "Track and Field" was the shit!

I've decided we all need Wiis. They're educational. (Watch the whole thing)
