Best part of the Osu vs. Michigan game:

Watching the police protect both goal posts in true Praetorian phalanx formations.

Now let's hope the fans don't embarass the city of Columbus...

I'm off to Meijer to line up for a Wii!!!

Hee--those valiant goalpost defenders were indeed much appreciated. ^o^ Must admit that I preferred other parts of the game, though, sadistic alumna that I am....

Good luck in your Wii quest!

I could go on and on about both teams' performances, but I'm just glad the margin of victory was small. Watching them beating a team by 30-40 points hasn't been too much fun this season ^_^

I have a Wii! I'm so exhausted. I don't think I calibrated the nunchaku controllers correctly. Nonetheless, from playing just a little of Wii Sports and Zelda, I can say it is well worth the time and money!

My envy currently knows no bounds. Our county seems to have sold out everywhere. Suckola.

Quite the adventure.

After watching the game, 5 of us piled into TJ's car and started driving around to Meijer's and Walmarts in the Greater Columbus area. I was crammed in the back seat calling around to ask about waiting lines, etc. We ended up taking a short road trip to the Meijer in Marion because they were doing a raffle at Midnight for 16 Wii consoles. Even with the extra friends to draw tickets, I was the only one who got lucky. TJ, Sean, and another friend of theirs wound up camped outside Target from 4am-8am this morning to get theirs @_@

I bought an extra controller so we can play before our trip for Thanksgiving!

Don't worry, they will.

Wait til you get to Hard Rock Mode. You'll throw your DS out the damn window!

I tried playing "Ready Steady Go" on a friend's Japanese version of this game and almost snapped their stylus in half...

You live!!!

Let me know what it's like using that funky lookin controller. It looked odd to me. Can I come try it sometime? *big turtly eyes at you*

Of course you, Danny, and Ashe can stop by to hang out! I miss ya guys.

The Wii-mote controller is incredible. Playing Wii Sports is something every videogamer has to experience.

My ONLY complaint with the sensor is the calibration. If you stare down the end of the Wii-mote pointed at the screen, the crosshairs are off by about 2 inches down. So far, the manual hasn't been very helpful in prescribing a method to correct this and I've gone through every configuration menu on the Wii to no avail. Maybe I'm just an idiot and haven't seen the obvious configuration, or maybe it's the distance to the TV, etc. Zelda has a separate calibration menu, which isn't too bad. But having to adjust the Wii-mote for EVERY game would be annoying @_@

Ooh, that would be irksome. :( Of course, this is coming from someone who spazzes out if anyone re-binds her keys. LOL I hate that.

Mmm...january good for you? I'm pretty squished up this month and December unless you're planning to come to the soon to be announced OAF holiday feast I'm cooking and bring it with you. :)
