wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

in the end, the crazystupidness paid off, and we have acquired our wii. and an extra wiimote, excite truck, and, of course zelda.

i have already had my ass kicked at tennis.

it's actually remarkably easy to use, and i can join the ranks of people who have reported that the wiimotes work like a dream. no lag, very exact. pretty much identical to using my wireless mouse here. also, the sensor bar is remarkably tiny. and it has sticky feet to keep it from falling off your tv.

we didn't get a chance to set up the second wireless router before we got home, so i can say nothing about retro gaming yet, but we did buy 2000 wii points waiting in readiness for downloadable gaming.

now i am 4000 words behind in my nano, so i am giving up next-gen gaming for the moment, in order to try and scrape this thing into a semblance of readability. since i hate it so much and think it's dumb and uninteresting, it will probably turn out to be my best shot for being published of three so far ;) wish me luck.
