Though, this is probably WHY I can't eat...

I am very, very torn about getting the Wii. like, really. What I want, right here, right now, is the Wii, a nunchuck, and Zelda. that's $320 (plus tax). it doesn't help my sister's brother-in-law manages a GameStop and can hold one for me as soon as they get their next shipment. And if I wait for (or hope Santa brings) the nunchuck and Zelda, it's only $250 (plus tax) for the console itself. And, and, and... I'm a child on the '80s. I grew up on Mario, Zelda, and Metroid. I'm a Nintendo fanboy.

I want.

(And despite this morning's panic on food, I'll remind everyone that I'm within the top 6% richest people in the world.)

Update: No Link to the Past!? *rages*

Update: Of course, it *is* backwards compatible. I never had a Dolphin. And wasn't Zelda64 ported to GameCube?

have you seen this shirt?

the more i look at the wii, the more i think it's kind of cool. cool enough to own if i could come up with enough games to play on it. although i think my vague interest in this comes from the fact the ps3 is way too expensive and unjustifiable for me. but i always feel like sony has more games to offer. maybe.
(i must remind you that i speak as a relative gaming novice.)

Hey, would you be interested in seeing a matinee of "The Fountain" on Saturday around noon? In the interests of saving money, of course. :3

Actually it's only 300 for the wii and the game, it comes with both halves of the controller. Although I did pay an extra $30 for a year warrenty since I don't trust first-release systems.

You should come over and play it. I actually have someone doing that right now, first time he's ever been in my house and it's to play my video games. And yeah, zelda is super-fun, ocarina of time style.

I hope you do realize that you have to see me at least once more before going to cali again. Really, it isn't an option, I don't care if I have to drive to your parents house and wait a week until you decide to visit them, I will be seeing you.
