And so here's something to drive you nuts.

Thanks for being patient, and without further ado...

THE REVIEW!

First of all, the controller is no longer the conventional thumb sticks and buttons that has been the standard of late, but a single handed unit that resembles a remote control. The thing about this controller though is that it is completely motion sensitive; in a tennis game, you swing your controller as though it were a racket. In bowling, you actually do the same motions as though you were throwing a bowling ball.

Now that's all well and good for sports games, but what about the first person shooter games or anything that requires actual movement of your character? Well, it also has an attachment that has been dubbed the Nunchuk. You plug it into the bottom of the normal controller and you then have a method of movement. The Nunchuk is also completely motion sensitive, making a boxing game much more interesting.

The reason I mention these sports concepts is that the console came with Wii Sports, which includes Bowling, Tennis, Baseball, Golf and Boxing. All are really fun to play and all of them can be played multi player (provided you have the correct hardware, of course).

Aside from the gaming end of things, the Wii can also do a number of other amazing things. You can connect to the internet and use an Opera browser to do just about anything you can on a normal computer. You can upload pictures to the console and edit them with a paint program integrated into the system and a number of other things.

My last words of praise bring me back to the gaming end of things. First of all, the Wii is reverse compatible with Gamecube games, secondly, it features a program called Virtual Console, with which you can download and play games from the NES, SNES, N64, Genesis and Turbographix, all for $5-$10 each.

It's an amazing system and totally worth the 16 hour wait at Walmart. I'm extremely pleased to see that Nintendo (basically the originator of gaming) will not drop off the face of the planet.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go put some ice on my tennis arm.

It doesn't make toast... But it does so much more!

As soon as I can come up with some coherent thoughts about the Wii (other than it's awesome), I'll post. Sorry, it's just too great to be done injustice by a lame review.

Chop's off to see the Wiizard

If any of you are out and about during the next 18 hours, drop by the eletronics department at Walmart and visit him. It's going to be a long day for the lad...but what a sweet reward.

Hey everyone!!!

First of all, I want to say how proud I am of the folks in the Foreigner and I'm sorry for not saying anything sooner (I have been to the show 3 times and I reccomend that for anyone).

Secondly; check out the website that we made for Polyman's youngest son:

Click here.

Lastly, I've been working on flash! It's really exciting and I've already made a couple of things that I want some folks to see.

First, a banner I made for Legends and Lore.

Second, a flash portfolio that I made for Kabe Termes

It's really exciting and I'm having a lot of fun doing it. I'm becoming an important part of Asio Studio! YIPPEE!!!!!

By the by: I'm probably going to camp out for a Nintendo Wii at Best Buy. Come and make fun of me or just hang out for a while. You could even just come see me after I get ahold of it and be amazed by the system itself. I'm stoked!


Here's some info if you don't know why I'm so excited.

BHCT's The Foreigner is a

MUST SEE. It is the perfect dose of hilarity for the end and beginning of the political season. And oh, such skillful acting by some very near and dears. We love you ALL! Marvelous!

Hooray Harlan! Sibby caves.

From Sibson's blog today:

Mount Blogmore goes communist


Bill Harlan, Rapid City Journal report, has sent me a couple of emails informing me that me comments on Mount Blogmore are not welcome. Here is an excerpt from Harlan:


"But your lack of civility stands head and shoulders above the rest in an environment not known for its civility."

That pretty much sums up Harlan’s anti-blogger position. He still thinks that the Drive-By media is superior to bloggers. In addition, he wants to run the RCJ journal blog in the same fashion that they run the paper. They use the rules of Political Correctness to silence conservatives, as the far-left is free to attack conservatives.

Out of respect for property rights, I have decided to honor Harlan’s request by no longer posted comments on Mount Blogmore. I have also decided that conservatives should do the same to the RCJ and the Argus Leader that we did to Tony Dean. Boycott their message and hit this promoters of the far-left where it hurts. Their pocket book.

Sorry I don't know how to make the link hot.

It's all about sending a message to the nutjobs who have been making our lives
miserable for the last few years.

In essence it says, "How about a nice six-pack of shut the fu*k up?"

Way to go Claire, Bonny and all!


Way to go Claire, Bonny and all you wonderful, hard-working, campaigning, freedom-fighters for moral choice. I saw many of you holding signs yesterday and cheered you on, honked the horn, and voted proudly. Remarkable job, everyone. We still have obstacles ahead, but thank goodness for the positive national coverage this time! Cheers
