i’ll start out by apoligizing to kari for the title of this article, i said i would, so i am…i’m sorry kari, i can be an insensitive bastard sometimes

anyways, i finally got a Nintendo Wii this last weekend…i went to the Target on Valley West Dr around 6am on Sunday morning, because i found out they were handing out tickets at 7am…there were only two other cars when i got there, and nobody in line, so i decided to return home and grab something to read…i got back around 6:30, and there was probably one more car at most…from then on, everybody just kind of hung out in their car and waited to see who would get out and go up to the store first…finally, right at 7, a guy got out of his car and then pretty much everyone followed…i ended up being second in the line of about 8…the girl from Target came out and said they had 12 consoles, gave us each a ticket, and told us to be back right at 8am when the store opened…i went and got some breakfast, and just relaxed in my car til 8…everyone lined back up again, and when the doors opened, these two teenagers went sprinting to the electronics department…i knew i had a Wii no matter what, so i really didn’t care to run…when we got there, we found out they were taking customers in the order you got your card, since the cards all had numbers on them…hahah, stupid teenagers…i got the Wii, and extra Wiimote, and the new Zelda game…i was so tired that day, that after hooking it up i didn’t even bother to play, haha…

nicole and i finally decided to play last night, and omg, its even more fun than i thought it would be…seriously, it is so addictive…we just played the Wii Sports games that came with the system, but we ended up playing for almost 2 hours without even realizing it…my favorites are definitely Tennis, Bowling and Golf…it is just incredible how intuitive it is to use the Wiimote to control things…i mean, in tennis, you swing your arm like a racket, in golf, you hold it like a club, and in baseball, you hold it just like a bat…nintendo is really on to something, and i think this stuff is the future of games…

eveyone should go get one, just be prepared to wait in line or something…you won’t regret it
