Of course I'm looking forward more to the Team Tournament that will be taking place on Friday night. Me and one of my old friends from high school will be in it and since both of us are really good players and have always been at the same skill level we should be nearly unstoppable.

but it's true. This thing needs to be released before something bad happens to me lol.

I decided to pick up Wind Waker again to pass some time. I haven't played it since it launched in 2003. Even though I beat it then, it feels like a practically new game because I don't remember many details about dungeons. Whenever I try to replay Ocarina of Time, I never follow through with it.

Don't expect any posts from me once I get my Wii. And school, don't expect any HW.

Am I excited? BOOYAH, of course. I've got on the 14th an early chance to play the Wii, I'm not going to play Zelda at that event because I really want to experience it with no rush, uhhhhh what else, I have to rearrange some shelves on my TV stand just for the Wii, controllers and games, I gotta do some cleaning in my room...

The Launch Party in Los Angeles is supposed to have over 400 Wii's available. And I am bringing a nice crew of people who weren't able to pre-order. They know only a fraction of the stuff we do, but man are they excited! Constantly messaging or calling me with Wii questions or asking for updates.
Lately i've been spending so much time researching the entire industry, even more so than I actualy play games. That is so going to change from the 19th and until I beat Zelda. I usualy take my time with games, but Zelda seems so vast, and I have so little time now'a days, all my free time will go to it.
Man I can't wait! And for the first time in a long time we are on the "popular" side.

I'll start really getting excited when I actually have it in my hands, though. I'll get it, and maybe play some WiiSports with my family. I'm not going to play Zelda until I'm sure that I'll be able to sit for a few hours and just immerse myself in it.
Zelda I'll play over Thanksgiving break, and maybe some during the last three weeks I have at school, but most of it will probably be played during Christmas break. I'm just hoping that people will still be willing to talk about it for hours on end with me after I beat it (which will probably be later than some), because god knows I'm going to have a lot to say about it

Wii Sports, a collection of cartoonish tennis, baseball, bowling, golf and boxing scenarios, comes with the system. I had presumed that it was merely an elaborate demonstration of the Wii Remote, which responds to natural motions rather than arcane button combinations. I discovered quickly that it might be the greatest videogame ever made.
That is a bold claim to make, and coming from a non-gaming magazine like Time. Now I can't wait to sit all my nongaming friends down in fromt of a Wii and make them play sports.... drunk!

By the end of the weekend, the little machine had hooked ten people of very different temperaments and interests. Only one among us, Chris, was a bonafide gaming guy, and his years of button mashing didn't give him an unnatural advantage over anyone else. Excited as I was about my own attraction to the Wii, I was stunned by its universal appeal.
Really, I can't wait to see how many people, including those at work, I can get to go out a buy a Wii for the family for Christmas. I've slowly been converting people at work and around home to buy DS' since I purchased my own and soon it will be the Wii's turn.

I bough a ds PHAT for my best friend a year ago because I knew hed like it if he had one but wouldnt put the money out there because he wasn't too sure. A year later I bought my Dslite and he got one because he loved mine. His older brother a nurse, seemed to like Trauma Center and bought one. Now his parents want both a Ds Lite for Christmas. My best friend is also now warming up to the idea of getting a Wii and his brother said hed buy him one for Christmas if he buys Trauma Center for Wii. Thats
4 Ds lites
1 Wii
In one household.
I should also mention that my friend was a diehard Nintendo fan but killed off back mid gamecube drought. So kudos to Nintendo for pulling back in the fans they lost.
