So I got a Wii yesterday.
Yeah, my productivity has kinda down a downward spiral since then. This has to be the most intuitive, easy to pick up, engaging game system I've ever played (not that I'm a hardcore gamer by any stretch of the imagination, but I've never been that interested in a system until now). The PS3 didn't really grab my attention, and the XBox seemed like just another console. Even Carl was playing this in the first 5 minutes, and we had a ball with it for almost 3 hours last night.
I wish I'd gotten one when they first came out, if you think you'll want one for Christmas, get it now. I've been stalking the poor employees at one of the local GameStops for a week or two now, they finally got some in and I almost flattened a coworker on my way out the door to the car. (sidenote, they don't have any left today, also, Nintendo reports that they've sold 9 million units, they're about to overtake the xbox.)Along with the console I got the Big Brain Academy (big hit), Bust A Move Bash (haven't played it yet), WiiPlay (huge hit) and an extra nunchuk. So far our favorite game has been this thing where you ride a cow on a track and knock down "scarecrows". I don't know when I've laughed so hard.
Anyway, if you don't hear from me for awhile don't worry, I'm just locked up in the sewing studio racing cows, or target practicing or something. :)
