So, Clark already told me about Boogie bowling on the Wii at my MIL's last night -- and scoring 105 (including 2 strikes!) without any assistance... Tonight, though, I got to witness the little Wii prodigy for myself... I watched, in amazement, as Boogie bowled a 101! Unbelievable... I need to get a video of him bowling and put it online... It would be almost as cool as watching this kid:
So, I saw an awesome PS2 bundle on Ebay yesterday, and I decided to place a bid... I figured I could always sell off some of the stuff on Ebay after we got what we wanted out of it... Now I am wondering, what the hell was I thinking?!? We don't have the money for this! Man, I hope someone outbids me -- but it's not looking good... Oh well, I guess! Later days...
So, a few weeks ago, Clark and I were making fun of the headlines about people getting hurt while playing the Wii... It seems we, apparently, spoke too soon... When he started getting really into the boxing game, Clark was complaining that his back hurt... Then, last week, we were bowling with Clark's family... I got a strike and raised my left fist in victory -- only to crash into the corner of the drop ceiling... Luckily, my left hand is not my throwing hand, but it still hurt pretty bad... Tonight, I made a definite effort not to stand too far to the left -- so I would not be near where the ceiling drops down lower -- but it didn't matter... After a particularly stunning strike, I simultaneously jumped and rose my left fist in victory -- which caused me to punch the regular height ceiling... And I hit it hard... Yeah... It hurt pretty bad... Now, I have trashed two of the knuckles on my left hand by playing the Wii and I also tore up the top of my pointer finger (on my right hand) when I was putting the garbage can back into its cabinet... Grrr... I hate it when my hands are all busted up in the winter... Now, the cold is just gonna keep them cracking and stuff... As Boogie would say, "Aww, man!" Hope everyone else out there is doing ok... Later days...
I am currently a bit perturbed... I went to Walmart this morning for cat food and hoagie rolls, but I didn't think to look for any Wii controllers... Apparently, one of our friends saw one this evening when he went there, but he didn't know we wanted one, or he would have picked it up... Grrrr... So, now I am bidding on controller bundles (includes a regular controller and a nunchuck) on eBay... I have two bids running now... Let's hope I win one! (I suppose two would be OK, but I would prefer to only have to pay for one)... I already won Clark a black Wii controller and nunchuck cover set and I won myself a pink one... I am feeling lucky... ::fingers crossed:: ... Later days...
We don't need no stinking graphics! Teeheehee... Have you
ever thought of how cool it would be to still have a Commodore
64? I have! I used to love playing games like Lemonade Stand, Montezuma's Revenge, or Oregon Trail...
Now, I see that someone has created a "C64 laptop"?!? I think I might just
pee my pants! Later days...
Thanks to Penny Arcade, I now know about this rediculousness:
When the hell are people going to admit that violence has always existed? (Ever read the Bible?!?) Or that kids have always pretended to kill each other? (Ever played cops and robbers or cowboys and indians?!?) Or that first-person-shooter video games ARE NOT directly responsible for kids who take things too far? (Though those types of games probably have a higher level of appeal to homocidal maniacs than, say, Mario Kart)... I do not agree with young kids playing "Mature" video games or watching "R Rated" movies, but I do not believe that doing so will create blood-thirsty monsters, either... Damn, dude... Damn... People -- i.e. those idiots in Congress or the Senate who think they need to pass laws against violent movies and videogames -- need to wake the hell up... Later days...
