Wii Suggestion, Flickr!

One of the great things about the Wii is the built in support for the Internet. The freely available Opera browser for the Wii is perhaps one of the most usable “couch browsers” I’ve worked with (although, still not great to use).
Apple TV Take 2 added a really great Flickr channel so you can see [...]


It’s a Wii Christmas

It’s very possible that my friends and family think I need to have more fun. There must have been a vast conspiracy to hit me with a bunch of new games for my Wii this year. And how completely great! Here are the additions to my Wii gaming library from this Christmas. These games are [...]


Beat Guitar Hero III on Medium

Big day today! I beat Guitar Hero III on medium. Wahoo!
I don’t think I’m even going to attempt hard. It just seems rather insane. I’ll be happy with this milestone and enjoy my medium fame.
If you want to play some time, my friend code is 5026 3031 4382.


Guitar Hero III - 497 Note Streak

I’m still having a blast on Guitar Hero III. I played for a while yesterday trying to clear some levels before the big Christmas Day extravaganza with my brother-in-laws where I expect much GH3 action. While playing I saw the notice for a 200 note streak pop up and freaked out. I knew I was [...]


Guitar Hero III Rocks the Wii

I’m totally obsessed with my Wii all over again and it’s because of Guitar Hero III - Legends of Rock. In between attempts to update my Wii software, I’ve been rocking out with Guitar Hero III. I can’t remember the last time I played a single game for over an hour — until now.

This is [...]


Nintendo Wii Servers Overloaded

It seems that delivering Wii’s to stores isn’t the only supply problem Nintendo has. Every time they release new versions of the software for the Wii, and even some of the pay titles available in the Wii Store, their servers get overloaded for days.
I tried updating my system a dozen times and it finally just [...]


Everyone Votes on Wii

Can I just take a moment to say that I’m hugely impressed with what Nintendo is doing with the Wii. I fired up my Wii tonight just to play for a bit and decided to do a system update. I wasn’t expecting one, but found 2.0U was available. I then stumbled into the Shopping Channel [...]


Brain Games

We got the Nintendo DS because we liked these brain games. We bought both Brain Age and Big Brain Academy. As if you care , here are my comments on the games.

Brain Age
Brain Age is slow to impress, but opens up a lot as you start to play it more and more. The game feels [...]


Nintendo DS Lite

Yesterday we were at Best Buy on my occassional visit to wonder around the store and just check stuff out. Tammy finds these trips annoying since I rarely buy anything, and after 5 minutes decide to leave. Yesterday though I decided to check out the gaming aisles and stumbled on the Nintendo DS. I had [...]
