A Public Apology...
blehman \| 1:03 PM on 02.18.2008	25 comments

To you, my wii, I owe an apology. For the longest time you've sat next to my TV, waiting patiently while I've been busy plowing into my 360, keeping the PS2 near the side, and sneaking off to my room for a little SNES action. No more. No, now that you are fixed again, I have to come back.

I had forgotten for awhile about how much fun I could have with you. For those long, lonely months after I got you, you were a tech toy. Something to show off to friends, and for those long nights playing drinking games and home-run derby. No more. You are mine now once again, and I aims it to stay that way.

You'd been broke for too long. After christmas, when that ill-begotten HD-DVD drive moved in, and ripped your cord right out from your sensor, I thought we'd be back together soon. But no. No. It took us two months to get out from under that. And what did it take? What?

That's right. Between these two games, and a new motion sensor, I am having the most fun with my wii since, well, ever. So I'm sorry wii. May I never doubt you again. Just keep releasing GOOD GAMES, and we'll be church.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I put my Wii up for adoption. It's in the care of a good family now. I wish I could be a good father like you are. A shining example, good sir!

Its ok, you're not the only one. Even with Super Mario Galaxies I found it hard to compel myself to play my Wii. But once I got No More Heroes I was playing it every day after work and after school.

Super Mario Galaxy was good but not as good as I had hoped. The word "innovative" had been thrown around way too much prior to my playing it to be really all that impressed. It's essentially the same game it's always been, only with waggle. I was, personally, let down by it.

I'm holding out for Smash, though. Until then, 360 gets the love.

I have so much to say, but it pretty much boils down to FUCK THE WII.

But I'll be loving Brawl in a couple of weeks.

@Caff

I'm going to be on my honeymoon when Brawl comes out and I'm extremely disappointed. I mean I'm going to be in Costa Rica for heaven's sakes and I want to be home playing Brawl. The sad thing is that I think she does too.

Man, I wish the cover of No More Heroes really did look like that. That looks so much more badass than the one that they released the game with.

Between Zack and Wiki, No More Heroes, Mario Galaxy and Umbrella Chronicles, my Wii has been getting one hell of a work out. Now with Brawl on the horizon and some good WiiWare titles like Eternity's Child and FFCC:TCB, not to mention all of the great old games on the VC, I've been hella busy.

Gamers are so jaded these days, it can't be helped.

How sad for us...

Man, my Wii is good for nothing but gathering dust...
...no wait, hang on. I'll just play some of these games for it.

But I wish a AAA game would come out now...
...no wait, I'll just pick up one of these lesser known games and stop complaining about things when I'm just impatient.

I wish some people had better things to do than complain about the "lack" of Wii games...
...no wait, they don't.

Seriously, Brawl. You'll never leave your Wii again.

@DanGale

dude, this is the first I've complained. WTF mate?

No More Heroes is my love on the Wii. I have no desire to play Mario and sadly, I have not liked a Brawl title to date as I really don't enjoy fighting games.

We need a new Mario RPG (not a paper mario one either)

Justice says:

Both games are awesome!

@blehman

No, no. It definitely wasn't aimed at you. Ten Feet Tall maybe. I just knew that people would crawl out of the rock with their thoughts. It was more aimed at anybody thinking of posting the usual, "Yeah I have Zelda, what now?" crowd.

You had a broken sensor bar. I feel for you. My cat chewed through mine once. I'm still using a shitty battery powered one I got for a tenner.

No harm done?

@ Dan Gale : Im not doing this to piss you off, you're an awesome guy and I respect your opinion, but you're still going to get the same immature 5th grade answer from me. Fuck that gawd dayumed Wii.

lol @ Snaileb

i want to play no more heroes, just to write a review saying how over-hyped the game is and call everyone loooving it garbage-eating e-tards (thanks jack for making that acronym pop again) just because they think "punk's not dead"(ironically stating that punk actually is dead by that very statement).

i hope i'm wrong though and that the wii finally got a "hardcore" game

Fair dos. Then I must say: I know you are, but what am I?

My name is Jack Klassen.! I'm a completely ordinary teenage boy from San Diego, California. My interests include soccer, surfing, writing poetry, and luge. I am homeschooled by my father who fought in the Korean War and was exposed to nerve gas. He is kind of crazy but I still love him. We got the Internet two years ago and I started making new friends on Yahoo! messenger. Surprisingly, most of these new friends were older men who wanted to have illegal, underage sex with me. Needless to say, I got a boner like a rocketship and cybersex quickly became my favorite thing in the entire world. Wait, did I say boner like a rocketship? I meant my vagina got as wet as Lake Titicaca. I started saving all of the hot chat sessions I was having with the Pakistanis, lesbians, child molesters and other monsters who were instant messaging me all day and all night, and I decided to put them up here on this website so you can see exactly how disgusting the entire human race is. Since then, I have been in a waterskiing accident that mangled my genitals beyond repair, been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, brain cancer, and Crohn's disease, learned to speak Urdu and French, covered my naked body in superglue, went to French lesbian camp, made a Hindu eat a roast beef sandwich out of my vagina, and ruined perfectly good cybersex for at least one hundred people.
