Wii accept our fate

[zustifer]

So we (343, unpleasant, chmmr & self) stayed out all night Saturday to get a Wii, in line in front of Target, like assholes. It was cold, and the people next to us were boring and eavesdroppy, but it kind of ruled. We didn't need to take out our DSes once, even (due to our ability to entertain ourselves), which was good because exposing fingers would have been not the greatest experience. We did miss Feepness and Bismuth, though, who due to broken car were unable to attend. Sad. (Here is what you missed! Coldness! Urine! Dunkin Donuts!)
Anyway, wii. Our wireless connectivity is awry in some way right now, but it seemed to work earlier, which is positive. I have been making Mii avatars all day, and it is heck of amusing, allow me to tell you. I do enjoy character creation. Although there could be twice as many options in every category of facial feature, and that would not even be enough. I am hoping for updates with more choices.
Wii sports = amusing, zelda wolf & horse = not as well-done as Okami and Shadow of Colossus, blah blah. Whatever, more avatars.

Yeah, I was concerned that Okami and Shadow of the Colossus would spoil me on wolf/horse games respectively. When your game is all about being a wolf/riding a horse, you're going to make sure to get it right. I'm sorry to hear my concerns were justified. I GUESS I'LL JUST HAVE TO NOT GET A WII NOW.

The place I lined up at ALREADY GOT A SHIPMENT OF ANOTHER TWO DOZEN.

But games and nunchucks are still in short order.

I ordered the component cable -- Nintendo Canada has them in stock online.

My co-worker bought a Wii and brought it to work today. Everyone seemed to have a good time with the new controller. The boss's kids LOVED it (6yos), and even Jeanna wants one (but only if they have Extreme Beach Volleyball). I think Nintendo really did something right making this unique and inexpensive console. I really see nothing exciting about the 360 or PS3.
