Blog Main Page -> The Addiction Machine

After a long search through tropical forests, magical malls, and the interwebz, I’ve finally found it.

The elusive Wii. It took me several weeks, but it was worth it. I intentionally wanted to get one when it came out, but I was never a “wait in line for something new” person. However, I was generally surprised by the extreme lack of supply, since the Wii came out about a year and a half ago.

However, this little machine is more fun than it looks. The thing that stands out the most for the Wii is the remote (named Wiimote). Swinging a remote to hit a tennis ball is extremely addicting for some unearthly reason. However, I barely have enough room to play, so I managed to knock things over once or twice in the beginning. Yet the packaged Wii Sports is fun, and the game goes well with the remote (except for dreaded boxing game).

So far I have Brawl and a few other games, and they have contributed to my declining productivity. But the only thing preventing me from gluing myself (and I mean literally gluing myself to the Wii) is the weak library of games. Endless Ocean? Wall-E? We-Ski? Barf. Now I’m off to find the MORE elusive Mario Kart Wii.
