Wii and I...

Y'know, I've been keeping my mouth shut about the Wii for quite some time. And so it goes for the whole CBS-now-owns-CNET thing. While the CBS situation is capitalism to the core; I crack up everytime I see a dude say "This is the end of GameSpot."

Nah, my friend. It's the end for legit reviews again, and the beginning for me becoming a commie.

Well, damn. Now I did it. I discussed the CBS-deal. Ah well, straight to the Wii.

Anyway, the reason why I kept my yapper shut about the Wii is because I flatout dislike any feature about the thing. Ever since they came with a solution to prevent them remote controls from flying through your 800$ LCD TV... It became even more boring than the thing already is.

It's like when Toyota all of the sudden made the HiLux breakable because people didn't like the simplicity of the thing. And about the HiLux being unbreakable; Three Brits from a BBC TV show called Top Gear used every single weapon to take the thing down; Even dropping it down with a building that gets demolished. Still works. Great show, by the way. The only bit of British TV I can accept without giving the TV the "akward stare".

The second reason of why I kept silent about the Wii is fairly straightforward.

I get so damn biased when I talk about the thing. And by the time I'm done talking about the thing, I gotta yell at the top of my goddamn voice "IT'S MY ****ING OPINION!".

Hell, whenever I say "I Hate the Wii. Period." - Half of China gets a sudden heartattack and the other half declares war to the infidel that cursed their nations' pride and dignity. Okay, I won't be the only one saying that 75% of the stuff that comes from that place is crap, I'll be the only one saying that the Wii includes with the 75%.

I still havn't given a solid reason of why I don't like the thing, eh?

I can qualify as a traditional gamer. And American.

The lazy, under motivated, half-witted biased jackass who's got a Budweiser in one hand, and a half-beaten-to-death controller in the other. Under his ass is a rock solid couch and infront of him is a TV with M-rated goodness spraying gore on anything.

What is missing; I am not obese, and yes I can get off my fluffy couch.

The Wii trows it all around. You gotta be fit for certain games,standing up is preffered and by the time you're playing it for two weeks - You've got an right arm twice the size of your left arm. The games that are considered good ran old for me back in 1998, and the ones that appeal to me are getting trashed and ripped apart by any reviewer.

I'm the type of guy who likes to choke on Dorito's while playing a game, and that's pretty damn hard considering you've got your hands full swinging the two controllers around.

What motivated me to do this blog is that I found out that a friend of mine bought a Wii after giving the brand a good week by trashing it down, who's my age, and just as biased and insane as I am. Yeah, we're buddies to the heart. Practically brothers. Only I am naturally insane, he's a learner.

So, I wanted to give it a try seeing as the guy who's most alike to me gave up to the goodness.

Well, giving Super Smash Brothers Brawl a chance - Five minutes later we were jamming away at The Scorpions "Rock You Like a Hurricane" on Rock Band, on the X360.

Yeah, I'll never like the Wii.
