Enter the Wii.
As of now, only one of my friends (and his two brothers who I'm also friends with) have Wii's, and it's so cool when I go over to his house to discuss the various places in Zelda:TP we are all playing in and discussing the various accomplishments we have achieved, and where we've found heart pieces, and just sharing the joy of such a wonderful game, then playing WiiSports together and just having great time, while sipping a few beers, and a few other things.
Not that I don't like coming here and doing the same thing, but it's so much better when it's real life people that I've known for awhile.
Now only if I could get his hot sister to play with my Wii, the dream would be complete.

That's my boy!
I am a big fan of videogames (why else would I post here). But there is nothing like playing videogames while intoxicated. Screw rumble feed-back, screw graphics, screw dolby-digital sound....you don't need any of that to feel immersed!
Bact to the topic. Good for you mate!

Anywhoo yea I had the same experience. It was nice to finally see some friends from the N64 days come back to Nintendo for Wii. I agree its more fun to talk about video games to people you know in real life. It sort of assures you that theres other gaming nerds like you

So I think the Gamecube is a landmark for me in many ways, partially because of where I was in life. But we'll see, with the Wii. I may end up living with some of those Gamecube friends after college, so maybe the Wii will achieve a similar dominance in my mind.

Yes, I know the feeling. In fact, I would say the same thing about the N64, as that was the system of choice during my years in high school and we played Goldeneye, Smash Bros, Mario Kart and Perfect Dark constantly. Gaming after going to college just hasn't been the same in terms of playing with others, although I have enjoyed winter break so far and seeing old faces and how they react to the Wii. Yet, like Hostile Creation, I really don't think those high school years will ever be topped for me, and that really goes just beyond playing games with others... but then so it goes.

I love my childhood friends, but nothing beats getting together with a group of new friends and taking over the big screen in the floor lounge for some late night Smash Bros...
...especially when you KNOW you should be working on your final paper for your Comparative Lit class. >_>...

I can also sympathize with you guys. The days of the N64 and Cube gaming with friends were truly great times. Those were some of the best days of my life and it is sad to see them go. I wish I could go back and have that again but people change, and life changes; at least those memories will live on forever.

My friend was blown away when I told him that he could turn his Wii on and off by using the power button on the remote.
LMAO.
Although I can't laugh at him too much, he's doing much better than I am in Zelda, with more heart pieces and getting stuck less often, therefore progressing more than me in the game, and rubbing it in by spoiling the plot and new weapons... i kind of wanted to kill him when he told me Zelda "disappears" somehow, and that we get a ball and chain as a weapon yeah i'm pretty far behind, but still i want to kill him.
