Wii
OK, so what I really wanted to post a picture of yesterday was one of us playing the new Nintendo Wii. For any of you who haven't heard of it, it's Nintendo's new game system that uses a motion-sensor activated controller - how you move your hands and body affect what happens on the screen. To hit a baseball, you swing like you would a bat; to box, you hold the controllers in front of you and punch. A sword - yup, swing the controller like a sword. We played the game that comes with it; Wii Sports (tennis, golf, baseball, bowling and boxing) and got a start on the new Zelda, Twilight Princess. The Sports game is kinda corny; really just a "get to know the way this new thing works" kind of game. The Zelda game has MUCH nicer graphics than the earlier ones I've played (but of course not as good as the newest offerings on the XBOX or PS3.) Kinda looking forward to puzzling it out...

So what happens when you die in the game? Does it send some kind of a shock through your body? That would sure keep some people from playing it very often. Ha! And if you're playing lots of sports, like baseball or golf, does it give you tips to improve your swing? Or do you just self adjust to hit the ball where you want? It sounds like fun... Oh! Do they have a swimming simulation? Or skiing? I'm sure it's something my boys will be begging me for when they get a little bigger- does Julien like to play? So full of questions today!

so cool where you "swing the Controller", since that's what should be done to all Controllers, and CFOs.
