Wii like to party.

Yelena & I pooled some Amazon.com gift certificates and bought ourselves a Wii.  It is awesome.  Some observations:

  • I'm better at tennis; Yelena doesn't know how to play the net.
  • Yelena is way better at baseball.
  • Putting in golf is really friggin' hard.
  • This thing is going to be like crack.  The best part: you can buy new games through the console.
  • We need a second controller.  Oh my goodness, do we need a second controller.

We burned through the included Wii Sports package in a matter of hours and it was a battle of wills (wiills?) to not start buying new games through the Wii store.  (This is where our Blockbuster.com membership is going to come in really handy!)  Extra special bonus: it takes Gamecube games and controllers.  You can also download classic oldies.  Like MarioKart 64.  And the original Super Mario Brothers.  Hell yeah.

Got one & want to share tips on good games?  Don't have one & want to come over and play ours?  Give us a call.
