Freakin Swiit
I know, I know. Everyone else blogging about getting a Wii used that spelling. But I can’t help it. It’s just so exciting. I feel so shallow and silly for being excited about a video game console. Maybe it’s the fact that Lucretia and I won it in a raffle at my employer’s holiday party. It was the top prize of the night, and we had won the DS (would have been our second one) prior to the Wii drawing — but when our number was called for Wii, I jumped up and returned the DS for Wii. I didn’t want to be a prize hog!
Anyway, the gameplay is sweet. It’s amazing how sensitive the controller is. A slight turn of your wrist is all you need to tweak your bowling or golf swing. And I can easily believe all the reports of people getting injured and breaking stuff while playing the game. (I already banged our Wiimote on the low ceiling. It doesn’t seem to be broken just yet, though!)
Here’s Lucretia playing tennis. And yes, I was planning on gutting it out with our old POS TV, but now with Wii in the house, I may have to upgrade soon.
And to add to the excitement, Wii now has a web browser. Hmm — I can watch a Flash video of a show on YouTube using the Wii browser on my TV. Love how everything comes back full circle…
And finally, these are our Miis.
