This past Saturday,
.Tiff,
Analog Pidgin,
Phist and
I headed out to
Barcade in Brooklyn, NY to check out the first annual
Wiimbledon event. Also to drink lots of reasonably priced microbrews, as evidenced by my failure to beat the high score on the bar's
Galaga cabinet. Quite a few players stepped onto the "court" hoping to take home a new Wii as first prize, and as you'll see in the video, some of these guys are
serious. I was not one of them.
Who knew there were so many techniques for friggin' Wii Sports Tennis? Obviously some guy in a Luigi outfit, sans moustache. Also worth noting is that .Tiff kicked quite a bit of ass in her match, bear suits drastically decrease your ability to hear, and Pidge has one of the coolest dogs I've ever met, although that isn't in the video. Still awesome, however.
[Mad props to Dtoid Graphic Designer
Phist for his sweet video, which iMovie felt the need to make all muddy, because it is evil.]
