Well, we have a Wii. Paul spent all morning calling every store that might carry it within 50 miles of Madison. He finally tracked one down at a used electronics/game store. We aren't really pleased to have a used one, but there is a 30 day guarantee and he has decided to take the bullet and play non stop for a month to make sure nothing is wrong. What a trooper.

It is his Christmas present, but since we discussed it and he knows thats what he's getting, we decided that we'd try and find one early before they are all sold out around Christmas. Thanks to the marketing plan of upping demand Nintendo is doing, that almost didn't work. But he will also have it to keep him occupied while I am up north for Thanksgiving. I'm not hunting this year either, for various reasons. Like, 1) I would like to see Paul that weekend, 2) Wendy and Drew will be in town, and 3) I can put in overtime that weekend, since that will be the time when exarian's printer deadline will be closing in on us.

It remains to see if I will become a hardcore Wii player or not. I enjoy it, but I'm really not that good at video games, or at least at ones that you can't buttonmash at. And there is no buttonmashing on the Wii. Hopefully the new Supersmash Bros. will be fun. Maybe I can get into the Wii sports too.

Any flist people have good Wii games to suggest?

Leaving work early today (still after 8 hours) so we can make it up to the Dells for the March of Dimes dinner. Hope that will be fun.
