About Me
The head gnome in charge of PlayingWithMyWeiner.com, the only gaming site run by a chick with two, count 'em TWO weiners!

As far as particulars, I am a WoW player, with a 80 gnome rogue and 70 gnome tank on Lothar US.

I dig RPGs, both Japanese and Western. I'm excited by games with good writing. Visuals are great, but are less important to me than the overall experience. That's not to say that I'm a casual gamer, but rather that I'm a Dragon Quest-type gamer, not a Final Fantasy type (though I play and enjoy both series.)

Right now I'm playing WoW, Fallout 3, Little Big Planet, DQ IV, and whatever doesn't suck on my iPhone.

Two Years Ago...

I slept outside of a Vegas Target for a Wii. I passed up the PS3 until they threatened to take away my
backwards compatibility. I can't believe it's been two years. What a fine half dozen games they have been.

Wii: Twilight Princess, Rayman, WarioWare, Wii Sports, Galaxy, Wii Fit, VC Games

PS3: MGS4, LBP, a damn fine Blu-Ray player

How about you? When, if ever, did you pick up these consoles? How much use have they seen, and on what?

God of War III is coming to the PS3. That alone should be the reason to get/own a PS3.

I got the Wii two years ago. I had it for about a month with Zelda. Sold it, got another one this spring, have barely played it. But it keeps my fiance entertained with MySims and Mario Strikers. What I need to do is get Mario Galaxy

I also got a Wii immediately, then the PS3 when b/w compatability was going away. We ended up using the PS3 a lot with our Blockbuster mail account for Blu-ray. Recently though, I've been choosing it over the 360 for game purchases, I like it a lot better. That poor Wii is just sitting upstairs though. I did get Mega Man 9 on it for old times sake, and the Strong Bad games, but that's about it.

Still waiting on both - will probably snag them eventually, but for the moment the PS2 and 360 are keeping me busy enough on their own.

My story is exactly like yours Gwyddia. Slept outside a Target in Brooklyn, NY for a Wii, and bought a PS3 the day I heard Backwards Compatibility was going away.

And now they both collect dust. I actually hate LBP (controls are utter crap), and I'll turn the Wii on again when I import Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

The PS3 is still the best Blu-Ray player ever though.

Couldn't you find a way to work the word "weiner" into this blog title?

I got a PS3 when they announced the MGS4 Bundle. Since then, I got Resistance 1 & 2, Ratchet and Clank TOD, Dead Space, GTA IV, FIFA 09, Uncharted.. rented tons of blu rays..

Oh and I also downloaded Echonochrome, Mega Man 9, Wipeout HD, and Bionic commando rearmed.

And the main reason I bought a PS3 is because of God of War III (which is the reason I got a PS3 in the first place).

Got a PS3 a week after launch (60gb) for the backwards comp., blu-ray and games. I trade time between games and blu-ray but hardly use it for my old games. Used the Wii initially but now after moving, the first thing I grabbed was the PS3 so I could watch a few movies while the basement is being finished. Funny, after playing Bioshock on the 360, it has gotten about 3 hours of use since then.

I got my PS3 just after the 60GB with BC was discontinued and they were going on ebay for like AU$1200. Have bought pretty much every major title for it since and currently have a library of about 18 games; it has more than paid for itself in terms of entertainment, as it's pretty much all I do after work hahah.

Got my Wii a month or so after Super Smash Bros Brawl came out, bought MP3, Resi4 and a couple others, but haven't used it much; still gotta get Galaxy.

I got the Wii on launch day, and my MGS4 PS3 bundle like a month after the game came out. I haven't actually got into a Wii game since Galaxy (120 stars bitches!), my Wii has been seeing more GameCube discs lately, like Viewtiful Joe and Beyond Good And Evil.

My PS3 has been getting the most use out of everything, now that there are actually good games coming out for it. Vakyria Chronicles is amazing. If you don't have it yet, GO GET IT!
