Wii Fun, Left 4 Dead and then some..

So, my roommate figured it was time she broke down and bought a Wii. Even though she is a technological reject who with out my help would have lost her computer a few times over. She mainly got it because she wants to get a Wii Fit, I agreed just because I wanted a new toy in the house to have fun with as I've been in a great debate over what Third Gen Console to move forward with first. So we go hunting last night and pick one up at Toys R' Us. Btw did you know some board games are only sold at Toys R' Us now? Crazy that they would get the exclusive rights for such things but hey whatever keeps you in business. Back to the Wii though. Due to life, I didn't get it set up on our TV till today. More hoop jumping of getting it set up in our wireless network and updating ensues.

I've played with Wii's before so its no new thing for me really. Having to maintain two for work has given me some trial and error time with them. But she as the techie ignorant she is, is amazed over how small it is and what it can do. For the moment she's still afraid to use the remote, unsure of the control system (mind you shes the want who wanted to buy it)and would rather was my self and a friend play bowling for three hours without even trying her self. And yes, I kicked his ass seven ways of Sunday. Dun dun duuuuuuuunnnn... Which is a bit trickery then one might thing given the advanced control system of the Wii.


She asks to see the boxing when my friend figures he'd give it a try, but the moment we hand her the controllers she acts like we've given her the cloth that cover Jesus and doesn't want to move like she needs too. She ends up frustrated and chooses to sit back out. As much as I love her, shes one of the people who make me believe that if you don't know how to work it without help - then you don't need to own it. What is she going to do when I move out? Call me at four in the morning to tell her how to sync her wii fit board? I might kill her if she tried!

I've been busy gaming wise, not so much with WoW like I should be. My Shammie is level 77, but may stay there as I wait for Guldies to catch up. I've done all the quests I can for my level that I can do on my own without my epic flying mount. So I really need to farm gold if anything.

I don't think he wants a kiss...

But have no fear ! I've been owning my friends in my new FPS love - Left 4 Dead. OMFG if the game was alive I'd make love to it. The AI, the zombies alone and the game play are just so omfg amazing!! I hate Bill and Zoey when the computer controls them. Zoey because she always one shots my ass when I'm infected before I can even get close. Bill because the damn ass wouldn't take the pills I gave him when he was near dead, he kept getting in my way during the Train yard Level of Death Toll and thus nearly got me killed twice. I was more then happy to leave his ass for the horde when they rushed us at the house before the safe room.

Its a game we can't get enough of in my gaming group. If we have the chance to play around we haul ass to try and squeeze in two. Its so easy to forget time and get lost in the game figuratively and literally. As you advance your level of difficulty the game changes. Spawn points of special zombies that can quickly end you to a door you might have used before you died or a spawn point of ammo that you had used before. I may love this game as much as I love BioShock in my FPS heart. And that's a hard spot to earn as I'm not normally a big FPS fan. Too many of them seem the same. But Valve out did them selves with Left 4 Dead. I could go on for hours so I'm going to end that here...

What do you plan to do with that, exactly?
