Last night after work Kevin and I went back to his apartment to play with his Wii. The only game he has right now is Wii Sports in which you play baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, and boxing using real life motions that use the wii-mote’s gyroscope. Say for instance you are bowing….well you have to hold the ball up by your chest and then swing it to your side and forward to release the ball. The game is so accurate that you can twist you wrist while throwing the balls to add spin in either direction. These real like motions are apparently Nintendos attempt to attract non-gamers…and it just might work. I wasn’t planning on getting a Wii (I don’t own a gamecube and only played one a handful of times), but I may give it some thought.

After a few hours of Wii-ing I went home and felt inspired. I only had two songs left to conquer on Guitar Hero in expert mode and honestly I didn’t think I’d complete them both…after a few (tens) of tries I got through them. For my efforts I was given the “Battle Axe” guitar. It feels like when I first unlocked the 150cc difficulty on Super Mario Cart. My life is now complete…

Oh yeah…and there’s this whole Michael Richards thing which is pretty bizzarre. Stan has some commentary over at stanus.net: Michael Richards’ least funny line.

Interesting web site I found: Your Name on Toast ….it’s exactly what it says.
