A Wii little something for myself

A Wii little something for myself

I used to be a big PC gamer, but as games evolve and subsequently, computers get outdated, I completely fell out of the loop. In some ways I’m glad because the world seems to move to fast, and time is too little to be playing hours on something that might leave you disappointed in the end. In an effort not to sound like a hypocrite, I confess to doing exactly that for several years of my life.

Getting back to my point. Being a gamer and someone who likes playing games with friends, a console seemed like the perfect answer. The games does not out date the console and there are no “Technical Issue”, be it a  Xbox, PS2 or PS3. I decided to spend a little of my hard earned cash by getting myself a Wii.

Right off the bat I was happy with it. It has a killer interface. The controls are easy to use and the starter games are great. Perfect for entertaining yourself or a few of your mates. The Wii tends to be full body experience and gives you an experience no other console could.

Along with a fresh new user experience, the Wii comes with built in wireless. That means you can play against friends by taking your console online or just plain keeping it up to date with the software updates. I’m am still to explore this in depth.

I shudder to thing how gripping some games could be with one dancing around violently in your lounge trying to defeat your enemy. I can’t wait! I’m such a Nintendo boy now.

  1. Awesome stuff Fox! I have also been plotting to but a Wii in the next 2 months or so. Where did you pick yours up from?

  2. Look and Listen. They got a pretty big selection there of all sorts of games and doo dats that you attach to your Wii. I really recommend the Charging Dock. I would hate to call my Wii action short because the batteries are flat.

District 9 out of 9
This past week I went to go see District 9 again. The make of any good movie is one that you can watch twice in quick succession only to appreciate it even more. The subtle South African flavor coupled with a unique story, told in an uncanny documentary style fashion made for an enjoyable second [...] read more

Ubuntu for the very 1st time

I've recently run into some crippling Windows problems. And it was, worst of all, effecting my Internet access when I need it so desperately, like so many fellow South Africans.
