Well, yet another video of a female playing Wii in her underwear has been found.  And this is coming right after reports that it’s all just one large viral advertising campaign by Nintendo. 

How am I possibly car sick from Mario Kart Wii?

If you don’t have it, go out and get it.  Now.  Seriously.

My XBox 360 decided to do the red ring of death, again. For the fourth time. I’m not too sure if it’s still under the extended warranty or not — I suppose I’ll have to give Microsoft a call. If it’s not under warranty (and I’ll have to pay to fix), I think I might just call it quits on the 360.

We need a new DVD player for the living room, though. So it’s probably either fix the 360, or invest in a Sony PS3.

It just amazes me that Microsoft still can’t get the system right.

Update: It looks like I’m under the extended warranty after all!

On July 5, 2007, the Vice-President of Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment Business division published an open letter recognizing the console’s problems, as well as announcing a 3 year warranty expansion for every Xbox 360 console that experiences the “general hardware failure” indicated by three flashing red LED lights on the console (wikipedia).

If you, like the many people I’ve spoken with, bought The Bigs for Wii and are very unhappy with it, do yourself a favor and give yourself another chance.

I know, I know — the batting is slightly delayed, and how the fuck do I throw to first base, and how do you dive?  Controls suck, I know.  But give it another chance.  Be patient with it; you’ll get the hang of it.

I gave The Bigs a second chance, and I’ve come to love the game.  I’ve learned the controls, and they are perfectly fitting for the game.  It’s not a video game for you to play as if you’re really playing a baseball game a la Wii Sports baseball.  Sure, you swing the bat, but everything else is just a typical video game — just with different motions of your wrists, and not just your fingers.

I’m currently doing the rookie challenge, and it’s actually been a challenge.  I lose many games and often can’t accomplish the missions.  But after a little practice with the controls and what not, I inch myself further in the challenge.

So, in all, give it another chance.  It’s actually a great game if you give it the proper learning curve it requires.

Just so you are all aware, Nintendo Wii is so incredibly fun. I want one. Badly.
