Yesterday we picked up Super Paper Mario for the Wii. I’ve played like 7+ hours (only) total last night and tonight, and I’d still be playing right now except I’m so tired that I started yelling at the tv every time I couldn’t figure something out, which was pretty frequently. I was tired [...]
We finally finished Phoenix Wright: Justice for All, a Nintendo DS game where you try cases, but honestly, it’s fun! Hard to describe though. It’s actually the second Phoenix Wright game — the first was Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. If you haven’t tried (ha, inadvertent) the first one, it’s okay to pick [...]
Nintendo released Super Mario World for the Wii Virtual Console this month. I finally broke down and bought it. Although seriously, Yut has a copy (and a working SNES) from back in the day, and CT and I have one too, so it’s not the most sensible thing I’ve ever done. It’s [...]
Last night we went to Chez Panisse with misa and neb for dinner. Chez Panisse is always yummilicious. We didn’t finish with dinner until after 11pm, and when we got back, we started to play Donkey Konga 2 cos we actually have 4 bongos now. We got 3 more in January cos [...]
West Virginia is planning to put Dance Dance Revolution in schools (via Big Fat Deal) to help combat childhood obesity. I love it, they’re gonna be setting up an arcade at school! I mean, I’m imagining that they’re getting the big arcade version of the game, not a bunch of consoles and soft [...]
We played a lot of DotA this weekend cos Cliff’s getting back to playing more, and now CT’s all into it too. Yup, it’s true, even though we spent most of the time playing Rayman all through the winter holiday season, we also installed Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and the expansion, The Frozen [...]
This whole trip has been all about games and no sleep so far. We’ve played a ton of Scrabble (zoa is a v. important word), card games (especially Napoleon, only not with rules I recognize from anywhere online), and Wii. All sorts of Wii. It’s funny how everyone has their own favorite [...]
Okay, I know it’s an old article published just one day after the Wii came out, but I just read Nintendon’t: The Case Against the Wii (via kottke), and wow did this Erik Sofge fellow get it wrong!
The dude just nitpicks and nitpicks! It’s imprecise! (Sit back away from the tv or something.) [...]
It’s fun walking around near a college campus sometimes. Today I overheard a bunch of guys walking around. One said to the other “…but he has an enchanter in his level 60 paladin!” Teeheehee:)) That’s all I heard, but they made me giggle a little, it sounded so authoritative. Later, [...]
I keep meaning to write something about something besides the Wii, but dude, right now, that’s pretty hard. The other day the Berkeley City College Choir came to class to do a short informal practice/preview concert, and before they even started singing, I thought of “Bunnies Can’t Sing” or whatever that minigame from Rayman [...]
