The Wii is fucking addictive.

[KitchenWitch]

And I am a freak.

We have created Miis of ourselves (M, K, and I), my son, K's friends, Barack Obama and Sarah Palin. I swear making the Miis is half the fun. I actually got to see (in cartoony form) how I would look with dreadlocks!

:rofl:

I just played baseball and on my team was both Barack Obama and Sarah Palin :wtf:

[oshyposhy]

1. We love the Wii!

The children are playing right now!

[KitchenWitch]

17. It is really a lot of fun.

[CreekDog]

2. I played Mario Kart with my 5 year old godson

he pretty much tied me. :eyes:

the other funny thing is that we drove off all the same cliffs at the same time. :rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

8. We do not have MarioKart yet.

We have Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. I have a silver medal in the 100 meter Freestyle and a bronze in the 100 meter dash.

[Debi]

25. We have Olympic games too! When you get MarioKart make sure

you get the steering wheels - FUN!

[merh]

28. You need to get Outdoor Challenge

It has the mat that attaches to the Wii - you have to jump on the mat to jump rope or manuever your mine cart or to ride the pipe or jump the logs.

If the short ones get a work out and have fun, the game is worth its weight in gold.

[reyd reid reed]

3. I won't go near the thing...

I'm afraid I'd never leave it alone, especially if I start in with Guitar Hero or one of the Zeldas.

:scared:

[KitchenWitch]

5. Gawd, if we had Guitar Hero, I would never leave the house.

[oshyposhy]

10. They are on clearance at my Target!

Isn't that odd?

[KitchenWitch]

12. Oh dear.

I have not made my Target run this week.

I will not look for Guitar Hero at Target.
I will not look for Guitar Hero at Target.
I will not look for Guitar Hero at Target.
I will not look for Guitar Hero at Target.
I will not look for Guitar Hero at Target.
I will not look for Guitar Hero at Target.
I will not look for Guitar Hero at Target.
I will not look for Guitar Hero at Target.
I will not look for Guitar Hero at Target.
I will not look for Guitar Hero at Target.

[reyd reid reed]

18. After tomorrow

You'll have to let us know what your high score is.

And which one you have (here they've got one of 'em on sale...I think it's Legends, but I'm not sure)

:P

[texanwitch]

4. That is why I don't have one.

I have friends who do have Wiis so I can play on theirs.

I would never get anything done, it is bad enough with the Lounge.

[KitchenWitch]

6. The good thing is there is actual exercise involved!

That is my story and I am sticking to it.

[texanwitch]

16. The exercise is great.

Now if I didn't have to work, I would have one.

I do like the bowling and the baseball.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. My dear KitchenWitch!

I wondered where you've been!

Now, all is blindingly clear!

We all have our addictions, and I suspect yours is no worse than many!

Did you make a Miis of me?

:P

[KitchenWitch]

9. LOL

I have not made your Mii yet.

BTW, I look pretty cool in dreadlocks!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Ha!

I believe you would look good in those!

:rofl:

[mcctatas]

11. Don't say Wii and fucking in the same sentence please...

I just asked oshyposhy to check what her 14 yo son and my 15 yo daughter were up to and she said they were playing the Wii...

:scared:

[KitchenWitch]

13. Yikes.

:yoiks:

[oshyposhy]

15. *wobbles*

:crazy:

[Debi]

26. But Wii Doctor isn't a REAL game

:rofl:

[mcctatas]

29. The worst part is that oshyposhy's gene pool melding with mine

would create a brand of teh crazy such as the world has never seen :crazy:

[oshyposhy]

30. Or a new Super Hero

you be the judge

[fight4my3sons]

19. We have a weird mii addiction going on here.

My sons make miis of everyone. Really. We have Obama, Hillary, McCain (with horns), we don't have Palin though. Then we have the Simpsons, Spiderman, Batman, Snoopy, Bob Marley, our whole family (extended included). Once they went online and saw the miis that others had created it was all over. When they have a friend over they have to create a mii for that friend.

Sonic & Mario at the Olympics was our first game. :) Mario Kart it a lot of fun! Our boys race their cousins in NY. Mario Kart is by far their favorite game.

[AwakeAtLast]

22. My 6 y/o made a Mii of our cat

in person form of course. :rofl:

[Deja Q]

20. Miis are too kiddy/cutesie, but the Sports games are a real sell... as is Super Mario Galaxy

Also kiddy looking, but the gameplay is extremely innovating. And addicting.

Star Wars Lego is also fun, if only to take jar jar binx and continually kill him...

[AwakeAtLast]

23. Totally agree about Lego Star Wars

It's one 'killing' game I don't mind, because the Lego people are so cute! :rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

38. Maybe too cutesy for you...I love the Miis

[tigereye]

21. aren't the Miis cute?

I laugh every time I see the "referee" one of my husband that my son made, and the one of me!

[Debi]

24. Hmmm we don't have that game on our Wii

Is it a special order?

:P

I love Debi, Jr's Wii and and trying to get him and Mr. Debi to buy me one for my birthday.

[TZ]

27. Too funny!

I have a Mii of myself but I never thought of doing a Barak Obama or Sarah Palin Mii...
I've been playing the baseball game and boy do I suck at hitting...I also have TWO versions of GH. You really should get that--or Rock Band where the entire family can play...

[madinmaryland]

35. I'm sure you're mii's are mirror images of Dan Snyder and John Riggins!!!

I have a couple. One is Tony Romo and the other is Jimmy Johnson!!!!

:rofl:

[NewJeffCT]

31. We visited some friends with a Wii the other day, and now my wife wants one

what do I need if we buy a Wii? It seems like with all these "bundle" packages advertised online, we need more than just the standard package - there are different remotes/controllers, something called nunchuks, plus I think my wife likes the Wii Fit, which I think needs a few extra things as well.

[KitchenWitch]

37. The Wii comes with one Wiimote (controller) and one nunchuk

We got a second Wiimote when we bought Wii Play (the Wii remote comes packaged with the game for 49.99 - the Wii-mote by itself retails for 35.99 so having it bundled with a set of games was a bonus). The second nunchuk is another 20.00.

The Wii Fit comes with the balance board and the program disc. We love the Wii Fit. My partner really likes the Wii Fit boxing. He says he gets just as good a work out from the combination of the Wii Fit and some Billy Blanks DVDs as he ever got at the gym. We have dumped the gym membership.

[NewJeffCT]

47. thanks

now, i just need to find one.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

32. wow, so cool, we got one to for Christmas

daughter made mils of her school symphonic band, and traded them over the tubes with her fellow band mates. I love the bowling and the baseball, and I am putting the Fit on the wish list.

[Left Is Write]

33. I totally love the Wii bowling, but I have to lay off for a while.

I have tennis elbow, and the bowling causes too much pain.

If this keeps up, I may have to learn how to bowl right-handed...

[leftyclimber]

34. My SO is currently golfing and bowling with a Barack Obama Mii.

He says he wants to help the president-elect improve his scores. :rofl:

[leftyclimber]

36. I take that back.

Now he is Jerry Garcia, who is apparently "not a bad bowler for a dead guy."

:rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

39. That is hilarious.

:rofl:

I wish we could get Hawaiian shirts for the Miis!

[leftyclimber]

40. Definitely.

I was bemoaning the lack of clothing options earlier today!

:rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

42. Have you ever noticed in the Wii Sports baseball game

that the only characters that have legs are the ones up to bat...The fielders and the pitcher all just float with no legs.

[leftyclimber]

43. And my side can't field worth a hoot, and the other guys are right on the ball!

What is up with that?

[KitchenWitch]

44. Oh man, I thought it was just me.

Every time I pitch to the other side's pitcher, they hit a home run off of me.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

41. OK. What are we doing wrong?

We got one today and were attempting to play some games, and found it nothing but frustrating and infuriating.
What the hell are we doing wrong? The remote is impossible to aim, keep in one spot, or keep where you can see the cursor at all. I just wanted to throw the damned thing through the television.
Duckie

[KitchenWitch]

46. try moving the sensor strip.

The TV we have it hooked up to is really high off the ground (because our wall unit TV shelf is really high. We had initially set the sensor strip on top of the TV and it would only pick up the Wiimote about 1/2 the time. We moved the strip to the shelf level and it is much better.

[AlCzervik]

45. my daughter has been playing guitar hero all afternoon, i just want to get back on

to finish my csi game, i have one piece of evidence left to process and then Brass will go arrest the perp.
