went to grab some diodes @ radio shack yesterday and there it was, just waiting to be impulse-bought - it's pretty cool so far, i like the little wheel..
i tell you what. i played Wii for the first time this weekend and i'm not a video game guy at all... and i pretty much think it rules. we played golf, tennis and bowling and it was almost like playing golf, tennis and bowling - complete with a beer in hand.
yeah i'm not a gamer by any means either.. but i was a HUGE mario kart fan on the game cube. the wii version is better and online play makes 18 months of "meh" into "totally worth it'
i'm still playing the bowling, and i got the wii on release day...other meh-free games for me are mario galaxy (the first mario game i've enjoyed since mario world), and excite truck - it's simple but feels kinda arcade-ish, i'm assuming similar controls to mario kart...
i'm not much of a gamer either, but kart and galaxy have both rocked my world.. just wish it had come out a month or two earlier, back when it was snowing and sleeting outside..
