Relaxing and the Wii


Well,

I have been catching up on some sleep this week. I may have to work 16 hours again today, hopefully not. At any rate this week I have only had to work eight hour days, so it has been like a break. I only have one day off this week because I have some training to attend for work(on one of my days off). Anyway, we got the Wii today. Scott stood in line at Best Buy and got one. If he would have gotten there five minutes late they would have been sold out. That would have sucked. He and I are ready to play. Lets hope that we get some time to play this week. The Wii has Mario Brothers. This is really old video game. When I was growing up we played this game at my Dad's house. It was cool. Anyway, funny story... I do not recall a whole lot about my grandmother on my Dad's side. I remember her as a demanding women who smoked and drank a butt load of coffee. I remember one Christmas she just got Nintendo and was playing Super Mario Brothers, and one of my cousins tripped over the cord and ripped the cord out of the wall and it shut the game off. My grandmother was on the highest level and had almost completed it.......... and a black screen was all that was left. Well, needless to say my cousin lost half his hair, and could not sit for a few days. Good times:0 Anyway, that is my first memory of that game, and I am hoping to get to play it with Scott. I promise I will not rip any ones hair out. The other problem that I have with this gaming system, is that it is very interactive, and I am afraid that if we play golf, or boxing that I may put the controller through the TV.

PC mag had these as some reported accidents:


Crack in television
Hole in window
Wiimote-shaped dent in wall
Shattered 4-inch PDA screen
Severed blade from ceiling fan
Broken chair from Zelda fishing
Hole in mother-in-law's china cabinet
Four stitches in index finger
Black eye on girlfriend
Bruise on infant son's head


We will take our chances. I can't wait to play. Do not tell Scott, I am advocating a gaming system. I usally hate video games...
