Games

So, despite not intending to get each other anything for Christmas, Liz and I ended up buying each other half of a Nintendo Wii.

This little gadget is an amazing amount of fun, advertised all over the TV and most people have heard of them by now so I won't blab on much except the controllers are great fun to use. So much so that we both have sore arms from frantic Tennis-ing and Mario-ing between screaming baby time.

Even the older, non-gaming generation get in to it very easily, having a hit of tennis and understanding the instinctive control methods immediately. And nobody has yet commented that "the graphics aren't as good as the other current consoles." They're too busy having social fun instead.

Funniest yet though goes to Meaghan and Dave boxing the proverbial out of each other. For your amusement:

I've now joined 2003 and purchased a copy of Battlefield 1942 Deluxe Edition for Mac. Even the popular mods are available. This is good - one less reason to upgrade my PC, as the Powerbook has plenty of graphics grunt.
Still waiting, id...

This update brought to you on my new Apple laptop, as promised last update. Much better than poor old bianca who hasn't had much of a look-in since, and it looks like the deal I got at work was a once-only because nobody else has been able to get the same!
This should do me for quite some time yet, although now that Doom 3 is out, I'm just waiting for the Mac version to hit the shelves to see how that runs. Hopefully well enough, as I don't really want to upgrade my PC.
