The Wii finally left Louisville (where it sat for a week) and made it to our house yesterday afternoon. I cleaned the living room, set it up and we started to play. Or try to play. The learning curve is steep. Seriously. Just as we were trying to figure out how to play Sonic, Michelle called for a ride home from her “Burrito Brothers take over Dragonfly” night so I left TW home alone – with my Wii.
I came home to find she had figured out how to get to the Sonic “tutorial” and had figured out many things in the 20 minutes I was gone. I also discovered she was the recipient of our first Wii injury. Luckily, it wasn’t a serious injury. I can see her going to work with a black eye and trying to explain to the faculty that she hit herself in the eye with the Wii… heh. Actually that would be funny…
Anyway, we came home and Michelle took over the Wiimote and would not give it back! HMPH. My Wii and I wasn’t even getting to play with it. Finally she gave up and I got to play for awhile but by that time it was late and I was tired so 20 minutes was about all I could handle. Today, the darn kid is back on the Wii and has gone all of the way through the tutorial and is moving through the “chapters”.
It’s my Wii! I should get to play it the most – shouldn’t I????
Damn straight you should be the one to play it most. And no one is supposed to figure out things before you. It’s the RULES!!!
Are Wii learning to share? Lol.
Doesn’t it seem like somehow the Wii should make more sense than the other systems? You can swing swords, golf clubs, tennis rackets, whatever you’re playing. It just seems like it shold be simpler. But nooo…. 😉
