Wii!

Post by **Leisher** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 3:34 pm

I honestly think the DS has one of the best libraries of games for any game system.

Obviously the PC is the top of the list, but I'd seriously look at the DS as #2. Not only do you have all the DS games, but you also have all the GBA games available to you.

I keep one at work specifically for restroom visits. It's less conspicuous than carrying a magazine.

OK, I added you, but it's acting like you havent added me.

I have, but I turned off the Connect24 a bit ago. I'll turn it back on now.

It's hard to get this crowd on-board with online gaming. They're all too old.

Well, this isn't really online gaming perse. I don't think there are any games that run through this sytem yet. Maybe later.

For now I think it just means we can send each other emails, and when we play games that use Miis as the characters their Miis will occasionally show up. Sometime in the next few days when I'm playing Wii boxing I'll be beating the crap out of The Catt.

Still undefeated (against humans) in boxing.

I got a Wii for Christmas. Opened it and set it up when I got home last night.

Still haven't played it.

I'm taking the day off tomorrow to recover from my vacation, so I might tinker with it then.

Same here. Except I got mine on the 22nd.

I played a little today.
Did the "training" bit for the sports game (the only game I have) and it said I was 31 years old.

My wife was 74. Ha!

Your... penis?

That sounds about right.

I refer to that as my "wee wand."

No comment on the definition of "wee."

Got a new toy. It's only $20, and comes with a Zelda shooting game that is worth that price alone.

My only complaint about the thing is that it doesn't shoot exactly where I'm pointing. There's a cross hair adjustment, but even when I move the vertical setting all the way up it still shoots a little low. (I keep the receiver bar thingy on top of a small speaker that's on top of the TV, so maybe it'd be better if I relocated it?)
As long as I shoot from the hip it works fine.

I'm really impressed with the Wii. I didn't think we had the technology to make the controllers work as well as they do.

Yes, that is definately the problem. The system is designed for the bar to be directly above or below the screen, and calculates screen position based on that assumption. Adding a spacer throws off those calculations.

Christ, there is now a Wii under the big TV.

Friends just left; we played about 4 hours of Guitar Hero. Wife is going out tomorrow with out Best Buy gift cards to buy another guitar controller.

Sigh.

Yeah, I'd sign too if I got Guitar Hero instead of Rock Band. Or was it GH World Tour?

Not sure what you mean.

We went out today and bought a new guitar. made sure it was one for the Wii.

Then we couldn't get it to connect when we were playing Guitar Hero.

Turns out the identical controller for one game wont work in the other. We got a guitar for "Rock Band" not really realizing the difference.

That's some fine engineering.

Takes fucking instrument compatibility charts to keep it all straight. What the fuck.

I meant: if it was just the guitar hero game (guitar only), i could understand your frustration. But if it was the world tour (drums/guitar/microphone), then you're just a killjoy.

There's your problem right there. There are many things the Wii is good for. Playing games that are available for the other (read: better) consoles is not one of them.
