We’re nearing the end of our third week with the Nintendo Wii and it’s seen a fair bit of use. There have been stretches of 3 or 4 days in a row that it hasn’t been touched, though. I can’t say I’ve gone longer than 24 hours without turning on my Xbox 360 in the […]
On the eve of my wife’s 28th birthday, we decided to get a little silly. She’s been joking about turning 28 and being all serious from then on. We didn’t have much planned for tonight – caught up on some TV that we hadn’t gotten to yet this week. This week’s episode of Lost was […]
The Wii’s been getting a fair amount of use since I picked it up nearly 2 weeks ago. Admittedly, a bit less recently since GRAW 2 has pretty much completely stolen the thunder. None the less, we’ve just about worn down the batteries in one of the Wiimotes. On my lunch break the other day […]
Things have been so hectic lately, and yet I feel like I'm hardly moving in any direction at all. I've definitely been feeling like I'm living to work, as apposed to the opposite which I much prefer.

Even though the majority of the games they've been showcasing don't appeal to me in the least, I'm still extremely stoked on the Nintendo Wii and the direction Nintendo is headed in the next generation of console gaming. It didn't take long to get over the name (Wii) and even less time to convince me that the Wiimote/nunchaku controller is the way to go. It's apparent that Nintendo has a clear vision of where they're going and they're serious about changing the way we game.
