Mii Want Wii

When possibilities are infinite and everything comes with a price tag, it's no wonder how a notorious credit card company came up with the advertising gimmick of things being priceless. What a crock of shite. We live in a materialistic world where anything and everything can be bought. Take a look at what's on E-bay; nutty people selling rights to their names, virginities which are being auctioned off. Hmmm, I wonder when the dawn of reckoning will come.

So being a human nerd, I have decided to divert my attention from watching too much x-tube into getting a Nintendo Wii. Checking out prices in different places that's around my area. I figured if I pay a bit more it saves me the hassle of lugging it back all the way to Low Yat Plaza in Kuala Lumpur. So I took a look at the prices in Cineleisure, 1 Utama, etc.


Lookatit! So shiny and clean and minimal.

I spoke to several friends about it, voicing my concerns about the modified consoles, playing it online, crashing the system, etc. I'm still on the bench when it comes to games as well. As a bimbotic avid gamer, I like my hardcore RPGs and fighting games that involve absolutely no usage of braincells; I need them later on in life. Unfortunately for the games in Wii, they require hand gestures and spinning and other sort of nonsensical movements. And apparently quite a few people around the world are getting hurt by the Wiimote; as it is cordless and used as a hand held pointing device, people swing and throw and twirl their Wiimotes, totally unaware of their environment and hence breaking televisions, lamps and hurting people around them. Looks like interactive gaming increases medical bills as well.


Dislocated knees, bruised eyes, cut fingers. Who would have known that Lil ol' Wii could have done that? Scary photos and Wii problems can be viewed here

So, to Wii or not to Wii? That is the question.
