THIS GAME CHEATS!

Monday, February 23. 2009

So I finally bought a Wii this weekend. My Gamecube started making a horrible noise, so it was a perfect opportunity.

I have decided that wiimotes weren't accidentally slipping from people's hands, they were throwing them at the TV. Countless childhood memories of rage came rushing back while playing Wii Sports. I fondly recall yelling at the TV while playing Super Mario Brothers so long ago, knowing full well the NES had some sort of grudge against me. Sometimes the NES controller would manage to hit the TV screen, luckily back in the CRT days, this didn't matter much. These days I have two things on my side though.

1) I throw like a girl
2) The TV is 10 feet away and hangs on the wall (see #1)

It should be interesting to see what sort of clever games come out in a few years, as one can compare the huge leaps in gameplay from Super Mario Brothers to Super Mario Brothers 3 on the NES.

Have you seen the demos where they guy turns the wiimote into a head tracking camera by putting ir leds on his glasses?

Now that you have a wiimote, you can also use it as a pointing device for your linux laptop based presentations! Or just use it to play extremetuxracer or gltron. I like using xwii as a user space daemon to broker the communication.

With #1, you just made my day...I LOLed pretty much

Oh, if you also hit like a girl, #2 wouldn't even matter

Oh, I forgot...if you failed on SMB on the NES, you even play like a girl!
