Onlookers might think that you're some obscure game character, either that or you're in the wrong line.

Green and gold are the colours of my elementary school, junior high school, university, and also the Edmonton Eskimos.  I'm almost bored of the colour combo myself.

Like I said, if I only had some white pants, I'd be wearing all white with a hint of blue like all those people in that Wii promo.

Maybe that's too subtle but then again I've never been one to draw too much attention to myself.

I made the mistake of watching the Southpark Wii episode last night and I caught Cartman's anticipation.

Dammit, dammit, dammit...

It's right about now when I get all antsy and excited.  I've got the rest of today and a long boring Saturday to get through.  Then I get to wait in line for a few hours which will be torture.

Is it me or does it feel like the world is going to end before the Wii comes out? It feels so surreal that we're finally going to literally "play" games instead of pressing buttons. This is so awesome.

On a side note I was flipping through the channels and landed on CNBC a channel I never watch, but I stopped because they were interviewing the editor of GameInformer.com (i think, it might have been some other gamesomething.com) and they were talking about the PS3 launch, and how people were selling it ebay. Then the interviewer moved on to the Wii launch and wanted to know if there was going to be the same frenzy, probably not he said, (here's where I was about to change the channel) but ONLY because Nintendo will have many more Wii's available than PS3's.

Then came the moment of the truth the interviewer asked him (almost verbatim) which console is the best this generation? is it the PS3, Nintendo Wii, or the hardly ever talked about any more because it was out of the gates a year ago Xbox360, his answer: that's a tough one to answer, blah blah blah, but I am MOST excited about the Wii, it has this funky controller that can really change video games... *ding dong* pizza guy is at my door, when I come back it's a commercial, I go to hit the rewind button on TiVo and accidentally press channel up so I don't know what else he said.

The anticipation is about to reach it's climax: 1 day, 4 hours and 57 minutes left!

Went to my EB today, and people were lined up befor 12 in the afternoon. Walked inside, there was George Harrison, and a bunch of nintendo people setting up Wi stuff. I had a nice chat with him, and finally got to play Wii. Freaking AWESOME!

Nintendo players and One Piece readers, just better people.

I am suprised that people bother lining up at GameStop/EB. Weren't all the systems allocated with pre-orders?

Thanks for listening.

The excitement has finally hit me. But it's more for Zelda than for the console.

Wait until you see and feel the console Wandering.  You're going to be making Miis and playing Wii sports more than you think.

I got to hold and open a retail box a week ago.  Then I had to let it go.  Now I hope I can get one no problem tonight.

Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I wanna be sedated
Nothin' to do and no where to go-o-oh I wanna be sedated

Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
I can't control my fingers I can't control my brain
Oh no no no no no
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go....
Just put me in a wheelchair and put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
I can't control my fingers I can't control my brain
Oh no no no no no
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I wanna be sedated
Nothin' to do and no where to go-o-o I wanna be sedated
Just put me in a wheelchair get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry before I go loco
I can't control my fingers I can't control my toes
Oh no no no no no
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go...
Just put me in a wheelchair...

Twelve hours and forty minutes (for me).  I'm too old to stay up to midnight.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

I didn't preorder.  Amazon sez, "The Nintendo Wii will be available for purchase on Amazon.com on 11/19, Sunday morning (PST). [F]or every Nintendo Wii we'll have for sale, over 100 people have signed up to be notified."  I'll be up at midnight anyway, so maybe I'll get lucky. o:
