My critique of video games is a one-note trumpet: the industry stopped thinking creatively when Berserk came out. This waving the wand thing, though -- <I>that's</I> creative!Whisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-21859704833561970792007-11-29T11:28:00.000-05:002007-11-29T11:28:00.000-05:00Ah, see, that's the thing -- it's IMPOSSIBLE to tr...Ah, see, that's the thing -- it's IMPOSSIBLE to track down a Wii. Especially by phone. Your best bet -- and the one that paid off for us -- is to find out when the regular shipments come in to your neighbourhood Zellers or Electronics Boutique and be there early in the days in question. It'll probably take a couple of tries, but it will pay off (in spades, come Christmas morning).<BR/><BR/>The funny thing is, this mania is still in full force a year after the console's release, a year after the nay-sayers were saying that Nintendo had lost the thread, and were headed for extinction at the hands of the almighty PS3. And now the PS3s languish, dusty and unloved, post-several price drops while everyone still wants a Wii.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-80536780539198806382007-11-28T16:41:00.000-05:002007-11-28T16:41:00.000-05:00jim - I'll give it a try and see if it takes.DV - ...<B>jim</B> - I'll give it a try and see if it takes.<BR/><BR/><B>DV</B> - oh, I'll admit I'm slow in the corner on this whole post.

With the Wii, Nintendo has pretty much re-invented the home console paradigm. With the intuitive controls (you wanna bowl? You gotta BOWL!), even the non-gamers are getting involved...<BR/><BR/>(Be careful, though - a few bowling games and you'll be feeling it.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-16834632726169641362007-11-27T22:02:00.000-05:002007-11-27T22:02:00.000-05:00WP, I was, sorry to say, disappointed on where t...<B>WP</B>,<BR/> I was, sorry to say, disappointed on where the story ended. Not that you were leading me on, but my reading was headed toward the phrase, "so then she checked the "lame" guy into the boards".<BR/><BR/>The actual fact that she talked to him, i.e., acted maturely.... Well, I just think you ruined a perfectly funny story.DarkoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572734667248592785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-65502173638715357512007-11-27T19:50:00.000-05:002007-11-27T19:50:00.000-05:00I am, much to the frustration of my ever so less a...I am, much to the frustration of my ever so less and less young daughters, a video game luddite.<BR/><BR/>Never owned one.
