I’m a bit of a late adopter when it comes to new toys, mainly due to insufficient fundage when they first come onto the market.  The latest toy that I have been drooling over is the Nintendo Wii.  Mainly this has been from the fact that it looks like it would be a lot of fun.

I finally got to try one out.  And Oh Mii God! It’s too much fun.  It’s now 11:30pm and I’m sitting in a sweaty heap after only about 20 minutes of Wii Sports.  I tried them all, with the exception of boxing as the friend I borrowed the Wii from forgot to pack his nunchuck.

I thought it looked like it would be fun before trying it.  I can’t believe how instantly addictive and fun it really was.  And how easy, both to set up and to use.  The interface was easy to undestand and the in game instructions made everything quick to pick up as well.  I can’t wait till I have some time to play it with Kira, I think that will be even better then playing solo.

Want!

I’ve finally given into my desire to play HL2 and CS:Source and have just created a steam account and purchased them. I chose the Silver pack for USD$60 so that I also get Day Of Defeat when it gets released on September 26th.

As I type this my computer is busily downloading HL2 at close to 1Mb/sec. I find it amusing that Internode have an advertising banner on the bottom of the Steam Monitor that tells me how fast the download is going.

Hopefully it will be done in time for the games that I am supposed to be joining in tonight :)
