i was lucky enough to get a wii on launch date, and have been pratting arround in my living room even since
....until yesterday; day off work, girlfriend out of the house to get her hair done, so i get ready for a few hours of Zelda action, turn it all on, point the wiimote att he screen, nothing, try the other wiimote, nothing, try to reset the system, nothing, start to panic and unplug the sensor bar (the bit that picks up the ir signal) to find out my cat has chewed thru it, not just in one place but completely thru in 2 places and about another 4-5 minor chews; so after calmly explaining to the cat the errors of his ways, and how to repect other peoples possesions i email nintendo to find out about spares (still waiting for a reply), then later checked ebay/google and found a wireless version for just under $40 (inc s&h) so the long and the short of it is, cat bad new wireless sensor bar gooood just thought i'd share

Wii is on the shopping list. Can't find them for love nor money. Is it hi-def, like the Xbox-360? |

Went to the JobCentre today, and the Army were there going "Be the Best" ... now T-Mobile just told me I didn't have the qualifications to sell phones, Microsoft said I didn't have the qualifications to answer the phones, and the Army want to let me loose with a machine gun? | |

it only comes with a 3 part composite, not 6 part like the 360, but you can get a 6 part for it, but i dont think it is in hd

Cheers, on a computer related matter, I was browsing through friendsreunited, just looking up random people, and I found a picture of a certain someone, who looks much better than when he dribbling, like he is in his messenger avatar That particular person is also punching above his weight

Santa brought the Streplets a Wii, great fun over Christmas but I managed to pick up a knee injury whilst bowling. The Zelda game looks great, much more like Ocarina of time than the last couple that they had for the game cube. Wii Play at around £35 before Christmas is a geat way to combine a cheap game and controller - the pool is quite good fun. Mr Strep bought Call of Duty 3 but is finding it quite frustrating . My only gripe is why can't you use it for cd/dvd? |

I saw a new gizmo the other day that will shoot Wii out of the sky. It is an air guitar simulator. The darn thing realizes what you are trying to play, and plays it back to you. And it is damn cool. The guy who was talking about it said that it will hit the market in 2-3 years. I can only imagine the stampedes and injuries this thing will cause. Of course, you could go out and buy a real guitar... |
