Tonight we made plans to hang out with our breedin’ friends, Michael and Elizabeth. They had guarenteed grandparental babysitting for the evening, and wanted us to come up for food and games. Contingent on me bringing my taco dip, of course. All friendly gathering invites are contingent on me bringing the taco dip. And we said we’d bring the Wii and make a Wii party out of it. It would be the first time we’d hung out as couples since New Years, and a get together was long overdue. Especially since both our guys are slightly socially awkward computer geeks, and it’s good to expose them to other people every once in a while (They are geeks and we LOVES them!)
Elizabeth called a few hours before and changed the location from their house to her parents’ basement, which was more spacious than their own living room and had a kick as big tv.
Which was an understatement.
It was a MEGA HUGE kick ass 50 inch projection screen tv. The ultimate for Wii enjoyment. Michael geeked out over it, as I knew he would.
I have no pictures…oops. Forgot my camera. But it was a blast. Much wine and magaritas were consumed. And even having Michael and Elizabeth make their own Wii avatars (or “Mii’s”) was entertaining:
Elizabeth - what are you doing?
Michael - putting a mole on me.
Elizabeth - you have a mole on your face???
Michael - …
ESC: uh oh…
We warmed them up by playing bowling…and I TOTALLY kicked ass. I had my best game ever - 200 points! Then we switched to tennis, which was HILARIOUS to watch Elizabeth’s mad skilz - her strategy was to just swing the wii-mote wildly in any direction, any time the ball came on her side of the court. Amazingly, she won many rounds this way. Also of note: I beat Kev in tennis for only the second time EVAH!
Later, we played a short game of Scene It, and I won THAT, too! I should buy a lottery ticket! Anyone want to touch me for luck?
NOT THERE!!!! BAD TOUCH!
My brother turned 16, and he wanted a wii… it was upsetting for him to learn that months and months after their release, they are still snatched up like hotcakes…
You making making me think I need a wii. How can I justify this when we already have an x-box 360?
Sell the crap-box, buy a wii. It’s as simple as that.
the wii is INFINITELY more entertaining than the x-box. and I base this on absolutely NO XBOX EXPERIENCE. However, you will become the most popular person EVAH with your friends, because wii parties ROCK!
also - it’s like excercise! a workout and a game in one!
and on Tuesday, the first full-blown baseball game for Wii is set to be released! Woo hoo! I’ll be throwing my hard-earned cash at whatever game retailer will take it!
I love Wii. I love it good.
I love the Wii! And I love my geek! heheh. We played Wii at Derek’s house a couple weeks ago and the next day I was so sore! It’s agood workout!
Well, strictly speaking the x-box is my husbands so I could get a wii.
