Wii-diculous.

[merimask]

Well, we have the Wii and it is neato keen.  It's amazing how sensitive that thing is!  Haven't had time to do more than noodle around with WiiSports but that's ok, as I'm getting ready to do an SCA event in West Virginia and I don't have time to dive into Zelda.

Hilarious side note:  The Wii and my dog do NOT mix.  Kiba is a husky, and those guys are ultra-sensitive to physical cues.  When he came trotting into the room while I was in the middle of playing WiiSports Boxing...he freaked right out.  Couldn't figure out why I was excited and jabbing at the air violently, but he figured it meant it was a dog game and began leaping and scrabbling like a monkey at every jab.  Eventually it ended up with me laughing on the floor as he ran tear-assing all over the house.   I'm...not sure how we'll ever be able to play with him in the room.   He just doesn't get it.

Sabres won their first game against the Rangers in the semi finals.  It was a tough, exciting game.  Next one's on Friday...I hope they do ok.

I'm doing an SCA event this weekend, in West Virginia.  My buddy

rumdiculous might be there!  Oh, I hope so.   She's been my dearest LJ pal, practically from the beginning.  :-)

Happy Birthday to moonphased!   *smooch*  Something cool is in the mail.

That's all I have.  *back to packing for trip*

REMEMBER THE BASKETS!!!!!! And the heads!

You don't want to have to buy more baskets, do you?

[merimask.livejournal.com]

I did...and it all looked fine. :-)

But yes, I DO want more baskets. You can never be too thin or too rich...or have too many baskets.

My ONLY experience with any type of video game (which I assume is any game played on a platform that hooks to the TV, like Nintendo) was...um...Super Mario. Possibly 3? I can't remember. I was 12 years old, anyway, and I was awful at it. I've been playing PC games since I was 8, and am MUCH better at those. Alas, they have completely stopped making the wonderful, clean, non-violent games I loved...the Sierra games like King's Quest and the Quest for Glory series. Heck, even the Space Quest games were okay, if a little quirky.

The only thing I ever saw on Nintendo was a little character running around, jumping into diamonds and food type thingies and trying to get to new levels. I liked games like King's Quest 6 (Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow) where you had to figure out how to trick the 5 weird one-sense-only dwarf guards on the Isle of Wonder. (Each dwarf has only one sense...taste, touch, smell, sight, sound...and he has to convince them he's not a human so they won't throw him off the island.)

*CRIES* I just made myself sad. I miss those games so much! And they can't be played anymore...computers no longer support them, they're too old.

*shriek* See, I knew KQ 1-7 had been re-released for XP by Vivendi, but Amazon wouldn't ship to Canada! But I found one! YAAAAAYYY!

You know, you actually can get a bunch of those "retro" games on collectors disks for almost every system. I know there's a couple Gamecube "classics" collections (we have those) that include old arcade & PC games.

I just bet there's a PC version of something like that. :-)

Phone tag. That's all I'm saying.

Holy crap amen. Not my fault though, West VA hated my phone. Further proof that West VA exists in a different space-time continuum from the rest of the world. Explains a lot... ;-)

West VA also has chunks of animals all over their roads...
