I haven't had as much fun since I was a kid.  I got a Wii!

The Wii really nails fun on the head.  If the Playstation and Xbox is all about realism and violence, the Wii is all about fun and game sin an arcade style.  Nintendo really got this one right.  It's not pretentious, the graphics are nothing great but they are fun.  The games are just fun.

The Wii also does a few more things well, it caters to playing with others and getting physical.  I played for less than a hour swinging an invisible tennis racket in the air, an imaginary golf club and air boxing some comic looking fellow only to wake up next day sore.  LOL, what fun!

When you play too much, it gives you a message asking you to consider going outside for some fresh air.  It also has a way to get on the internet and do all sorts of things.

What fun this has been.  I wouldn't have been as excited with another high-end gaming console.  And anyway, Virginia and I playing Golf together on a Saturday night was hilarious.
