OT - Wii

14 years ago

Gave my husband a Wii for Christmas. I'm something of a klutz --- rather more than some. Yesterday, we were "bowling" on the Wii. I almost ended up in the TV. I was really into the bowling. Took 3 large steps and WOW!

We have a table with the Nativity in front of the TV. I actually landed in the Nativity. I realized at the last second my head was about to enter the TV. So, I doubled over and crashed into the Nativity and table. H says he can see Joseph's staff and Baby Jesus imprinted in my forehead.

LOL, been there! Learned quickly to first turn off the ceiling fan, and next to not try to bowl wearing socks on a the tile floor!

Our goal is to practice a few of the games, so we can beat the nephews (all under the age of 5)!!

Oh that looks cold, been there done that during the holidays and for us that is usually Jan when the snow hits. We are sending warmer thoughts to melt off the snow and blow the cold east. We will be in the 50s today and hope to get the last of the pruning done that didn't get done last fall. I know to pace myself after yesterday being out to prune the huge blue berries. I have grapes and a chain tree to do yet. Y'll are welcome to come out to help.

guitar hero sucks! LOL :P halo is a great choice though - I host 8-12 person halo 3 tournaments in my basement, LOL. unreal tournament 3 and street fighter 4 are fanTASTIC too. best multiplayer game by FAR is halo, though, we LOVE halo. you guys should play with me and my friends on live! consider yourselves challenged >:D you should also try elder scrolls 4: oblivion and the first fable game (we don't like to talk about the second one), too, for really gorgeous single player rpg/adventure type games. I've gotten completely immersed in these for MANY hours straight. video games were my first love, before plants; I don't play them as much as I used to but I'll never outgrow them! :P regarding that red ring - it happens to everyone, rigo. it's just known that if you buy a 360, at some point it's going to ring - it's happened to me and everyone I know at least once. it sucks, but microsoft has been really good about replacing them. I did actually fix my friend's out of warranty 360 using the penny trick - you have to open it up (requires tools and knowing exactly where the little latch type things are) and strip it all the way down, and take the board off the back plate. there are these little foam spacers that keep the board off the plate. you take two pennies and wrap them well in electrical tape, and replace each spacer with the little penny package. put it all back together again and turn it on and it usually works :) sometimes you have to do the towel trick to get it to realize it's been fixed - something about overheating it makes it reset so it doesn't think it's broken anymore. hope this helps! :P I'd fix it for you guys if I didn't live over two thousand miles away. LOL. Ria

Maybe it included games and another controller. They are $149. at our Walmart. I have been thinking about buying one for myself. I had 13 grand kids and could not buy anything as expensive for all of them. Buying one for all visitors makes sense though he should not have told one child it was his. If you buy him one and games will you let him take it home with him? If he takes it and the games home with him or to play at grandpa's house. You will end up loosing them. You need to keep it at your home so he will have something special to do when he is with you. It would be a good idea to let the grandson pick out the games so he won't have the same game everywhere.

OT Question: *Big* TVs and Wiis

Hi Monica: Hubby and I are in our middle 40s and have never owned a video game either, so this was a "major" decision, LOL. When we played with our neighbor's Wii, we had so much fun (so it'd be a good party game even if you might not play it alone much). Hubby sure worked up a sweat trying out all the sports games like tennis, baseball, boxing, bowling, racing, etc. He liked the shooting (arcade-type, skeet shoooting stuff) games and the racing (Mario Kart) best. Same neighbor mentioned some of her nurses and patients had been talking about it before they bought theirs. These people are "well into" adulthood and not previous gamers either. Truly it is a game for ages 3 to 93. I read in our paper a few months back that some of the "seniors" places are getting Wiis to get the residents more active and to work on hand/eye coordination, etc. I think it's neat--finally something for the older set....tired of everything geared towards teens and their shoot-em-up "grand theft auto" games!

Make sure you keep the wrist strap tight! We've had the Wii for a few years. It's my favorite game console and my older kids least favorite.

Great save Amelia, I hope your head is ok. Is Baby Jesus OK? That sounds just like something I would do. Good thing we don't have one :-)

They have a Wii at the Senior Center, where I play cards. Sometimes I LMAO when I watch them, standing at the door, but not seeing the TVscreen. I guess instead of laughing, I should join them.- Well, NO! That would interfere with Canasta!

Another klutz here~

If you really want to entertain the family, try the advanced step game or Rhythm Kung Fu that comes on the Wii Fit Plus. NOT a pretty sight! LOL!!!

They put those wrist straps on there for a reason. Folks were chucking the remotes at the TVs.

I want the dance party game.
