Wii

Friday, December 8th, 2006

wii waited for the shops to open.

wii risked being late for work, and battled the many people racing to be at the front of the pre-order line.

but wii have wiis.

first impressions after playing for about 6 hours?  awesomeness.  hey, i would love to go into more detail, but i have a temple to tackle in zelda.  and a tennis game to settle when phill arrives.

anyone who has a wii but isn’t listed in this listing, comment with ur friend code so i can add you!

wiii want to play!

Tuesday, December 5th, 2006

 wow, over a week with no updates.  仕事とかで忙しいと言うよりも、帰ったら眠くて疲れているから更新とかをせず、リラックスするほかない。能力試験のために、週末に勉強しようとしていたため、新しいアニメを見ることにしました(笑)。「僕らがいた」って番組ですけど、結構おもしろいですよ。まだまだ8話しかみてないなんですが、久しぶりに少女に向いているアニメを見ると良いですね。  that said, the JLPT was pretty easy/standard – no huge surprises, which makes me content that i should end up with a pass.  順調、順調~

as for wii release – just over two days remaining!  more than being excited, i am worrying about how the next few days will span out – work has been quite busy and i doubt i will be able to get thursday off.  which means somehow picking up a wii, getting my component cable from gen (thanks) and being at work close to on-time.  should be a challenge in itself, anyways.

on another note, i have really been feeling like i should be playing phoenix wright 2.  i’m going to attempt it in japanese – just to see how much is lost in translation, and get used to the 異議あり! calls instead of objection.  i loaded it on to my ds last night but it didn’t patch correctly, so i ended up playing made in wario on the train :( .  not that that was a bad thing!

液晶テレビ買っちゃいました^^;

Sunday, November 26th, 2006

yes, i went out on saturday and found myself a 40″ samsung lcd television.  pictures > 1,000 words imo.

i kinda rearranged the basement, and said goodbye to my long lasting desktop pc setup.  it is now dedicated to this screen, leaving only my laptop in charge of my daily activities.  not a big loss really.  strangely though, my desktop lcd has become kind of redundant.  i’m not sure what i’ll do with this – there will be times when i will miss it if i sell it now, i know.  but if anyone is looking for a 21″ lcd (1680×1050 viewsonic) then ask me about it plz!

i guess you get the idea.  now all i need is a wii!  @10days!  i guess we can start counting the sleeps until rls :p.

i played badminton tonight with friends from high school that i see about once every 6 months.  awesome fun, but my muscles are in the pain that is caused by sudden exercise after being deprived of it for many years.  ^^;

christmas already?

Monday, November 20th, 2006

even though its still over one month away, i have heard that word mentioned at least 5 times today.  what does this festivate season have to offer?  spending and receiving money that will hopefully result in equilibrium or net gain, nothing new.  enjoying a short break from work – yay but that could just get boring..

!

i’m forgetting something.. PLAYING ZELDA ON WII!  wow, that one actually makes me excited :p.

we had a nice and relaxing lan saturday night at tiberio’s.  i guess recent lans make something very clear – pc gaming is out (and so is lugging around full-size pcs ^^;), and console gaming is in.  saying this may seem a bit obvious with the three huge consoles storming the market at the moment, but hey – its the truth.

and on that note, there has been a lot of interesting news regarding the ps3 and wii launches, which i choose not to cover here!  in summary, ps3 owners got mugged, trampled, frauded, taunted by a human wii controller and cut down like the zombies they are.  maybe sony should be made to pay for the damage they have caused..

and just to put my viewpoint out in the open – i believe wii will dominate the market in the upcoming months.  one thing nintendo have over sony/ms at the moment is experience in winning over a *wider* audience.  just take a quick look at the ds/dslite sales in japan..  i’m ouen’ing for nintendo.
