What's the problem with the wii?

Ok I don't quite understand all the hate aimed towards the nintendo wii.
It's a family gaming unit. It has never tried to make itself out to be a PS3 or xbox360 and hasn't tried to.
And whilst all the gaming hardcore wipe their cheezel crumbs of their shirts, I assume (like me) you got into gaming by playing the SNES and game like mario kart and sonic the hedgehog.
WHY MUST TODAYS KIDS MISS OUT ON THESE?
so build a bridge and get over it

The wii fit weightloss dream or plain useless?

So I got a wii fit plus for Christmas last year excited that I had another tool to help me lose weight I eargley began to use it.
And now six months later I'm perplexed. Whilst it has helped with my weight loss I have a couple of issues with it.
Like how come there's only 2 levels of difficulty for somethings and 3 for others?
Why wasn't the seasonal banter from the wii fit board in the game changed for southern hemisphere users?
It's annoying to listen to it whinge about it being cold when it's 35 degrees outside.
Also why is the colour changing of the fitpiggy set at such low levels? Whilst its a small incentive to continue playing in retrospect, I always got a little excited and when I hit gold at such an small amount I felt a little cheated



All in all it's a game that helps with exercise but needs a bit more attention

The 61st blog post/ crazy stuff

*lets off streamers and balloons*
yay how awesome!
Now on to discuss some somewhat craziness of the world.
I remember when I was 14 and watching M*A*S*H and being quite sure that Frank Burns was a twat and people like him shouild be avoided.
Well it seems we are begining to have a world full of Frank Burns, ignorant, nasty people who have no clue.

Another piece of craziness for me is Taiwan building a nuclear reactor along a major fault line and earth quake prone place. Named Lungmen, it will be Taiwans 4th nuclear reactor.

Last piece of crazy for today
A report on ABC America about the oil spill in the gulf. Towards the end of the report a soldier (american equvilant to a reservist) said that the oil was a difficult enemy because "they couldn't bomb it or invade it, they just had to wait til it attacked"
WTF!?
til next time!

Gah! Neighbours

I think I’ve mentioned this before. I live on the 1st floor of a 3 story unit block. It’s small, and lacks any sound proofing so when the neighbours upstairs decide to party til 3am or play soccer it makes life help.
Yes I know this bitchy and whinging but I don’t care.
It’s major essay time at uni and with all the other crap that’s going on I’m finding it hard to concentrate as it is WITHOUT listening to a bunch of idiots playing the same song over and over again from 8pm til 3am.
I dunno maybe at the old age of 23 I can’t be bothered with bullshit.
It’s only one unit that makes all the noise and the landlord won’t do anything about it and I feel like a dick calling the cops.
What are ya supposed to do?
I’m guessing wearing ear plugs to bed is the only solution.

I'm back/ Internet awesomeness

Sorry. I haven’t been blogging, been busy with personal things and university work, BUT I have now made a plan to blog regularly. SO EXPECT MORE UPDATES KIDDIES


Today’s blog: AWESOME STUFF FROM THE NET

Recently I have found myself  looking at random things on the net.
 And HERE are the BEST

Zero Punctuation
A guy who goes by the nickname of “Yahtzee” does game reviews via animation. Hella amusing and informative. The animation is simple and is always good for added laughs. Check it out whether or not you are a gamer, non gamers will probably find it amusing whilst gamers (especially fan boys) may be offended. But if you’re offended by game reviews YOU HAVE SERIOUS ISSUES.



Cheezburger Network
The doods who brought us I can has cheezburger and pundit kitchen have expanded and now have FIFTY WEBSITES under their umbrella, making it the best procrastination tool on the net EVER.
Best to check out Epicute, Learn from my Fail, Failbook and Poorly Dressed.

Passive Aggressive Notes

People’s notes posted on a website showing people’s complaints (and sometimes whinging) is pretty amusing.
