Playing With My Wii
By Daniel Miessler on January 28th, 2007: Tagged as Gaming | Wii
So I got a Wii. It’s my first console ever. I’ve played just about every console but never thought about purchasing one. From a marketing standpoint I find it interesting that this one in particular was a “must-have”. I think what won me over was the UI; the system just seems very “healthy” in the sense of sharing enjoyment with family and loved ones.
Example: the sports game that comes with the offering. It’s simply stellar. My fiance loves the boxing game, and the tennis is just incredibly emersive. Plus, I just found out that we’ll be able to download Nintendo favorites for pervious consoles soon. The previous Zelda games (the main game I bought the console for) as well as N64 Mariocart are definitely on my short list.
So if you’re thinking about it anyway, go for it. I’m not a gamer myself but I find the Wii very attractive as an entertainment system. I’ve got it riding my wireless in the house, pulling weather and news, and I can even browse the Internet on it. It was quite strange to navigate my own website on the TV — and just by pointing and clicking, no less.
Anyway, yeah…Wii — big success. And sorry for the title of this post. I submit to you, however, that if you don’t have penis jokes, what do you have?

I agree! My girlfriend ( BTW. she is your fiancée ) just got our 2nd Wii controller shipped so now we can WiiTennis together. Make sure you get another controller!
Although the two controller thing takes some getting used to. I started Shadow Princess and wound up going nuts trying to ride a horse in circles. Somehow I can’t convince my right arm that it needs to move while controlling and while my left thumb needs to be moving directionally.
