  1. I think you'd be surprised. It really has the ability to pick up tiny motions in the hand but games like wii sports tend to simplify that so the game is easier. In playing Wii Play on fishing you can see how tilting your hand a fraction of an inch will drop the lure accordingly. I'd love to see some actual data on the thing and how sensitive it is in tests. But, being able to read in X,Y, and Z and judge speed really could have some great applications.
  2. Don't try to knock your opponent out. Hold both the wiimote and nunchuck together and pull them quickly from one side of your body to the other to dodge. Once they swing and miss (and everything goes into Matrix time), throw two jabs to the body and face. Because they are unguarded, it really knocks them out quick. If you play defensive, it makes it much easier. To me, this is what makes the system so exciting. Wii Sports is the tip of the iceberg for what they can do. Tennis, Boxing, Golf, Bowling, and to an extent Baseball had become tired formats on traditional systems because it is just not natural to hit some buttons with your thumb to do these things. There are so many other slight factors that effect the game. The genius of the Wii is the sensitivity of the controller and how a slight curve of the wrist can curve the bowling ball, yet the logic is fuzzy enough to allow anyone to play. You can enjoy it as a kid goofing around or an adult taking the motions seriously. It will be the developers that truly push the boundaries on this that succeed. I would love a great baseball or tennis sim that heavily fine-tunes the control scheme. IMHO, that would be the killer app.
  3. I'll probably go pick up Wii Play tonight since it's essentially a $10 game. I'm 2170 in Boxing and wishing there was some more difficult boxers. A remake of Punchout in this style would be wonderful.
  4. Yeah, they are going to need to do some serious work with Andy. He is just painful lately.
  5. Okay, found a Wii (many thanks to itrackr.com). There appears to be another shipment circulating through this weekend. The Wii is just total pure fun, I can't wait to see some future titles that will take advantage of the control. Great stuff.
  6. I'm clearly late to the party: http://www.outtastock.com/wii/ Wow. Popular system....
  7. Alright, I called about six stores yesterday and nobody has the Wii in stock. Anyone know of a local store that may have one?
  8. Ooooo What version of bomberman? One of the most interesting things in my mind is the new bomberman being released. Greatest multi-player party game ever.
  9. I really like that they are trying to add depth to Michael's character -- even showing him as a competant salesman and his dislike for Andy, etc. Dwight will not leave, he is so central to the show.
  10. crud... I think getting a decent prospect for Jenks or Mench is all we can hope for.
  11. Good choice, if he's cheap.
  12. I am the eternal Brewers optimist, but if you cannot beat bottom-feeders at home in a series you need desperately to keep hope... it's time to adjust. I'm disgusted.
  13. I think we should have a running tally of the games where Chad Moeller has a worse batting day than his pitcher. Today would count. Neither got a hit but Bad Chad left more on base and added a GIDP. If they insist on having him in the lineup, we could at least bat him 9th and bump the pitcher up.
  14. Nobody can convince me on this day that Mike Rivera would be a worse option than Bad Chad.
  15. Chad Moeller needs to do something well here so I don't punch my Gameday through the LCD.
  16. Villie gets pulled after owning the Reds for 6 innings and only 79 pitches? Why? Gotta be a set pitch count.
  17. Nice work young man. He seems to have some composure.
  18. Found this in google news (tallahassee.com):
  19. 18 -- Will take forever to reach majors 19 -- Too old for a high schooler 22 -- Only has a year or so to develop into anything 23 -- Friggin old, put em to pasture. So, we should focus on 16 or 17 year-olds from Latin America, young college grads, or underclassmen? That's a tight window.
  20. Hochevar is probably a great choice if they can negotiate the contract. Clearly they think he's the best pitcher since it's a Boras guy. Good PR move by the Royals.
  21. I could see it: http://luminomagazine.com/2004.03/spotlight/officespace/images/bob1/bob1a.jpg http://images.tvnz.co.nz/tvnz_images/tv2/programmes/scrubs/mcginley_d.jpghttp://www.geocities.com/saturdaynightracing/bush.jpg
  22. http://www.nugrape.net/duke.jpg Bad Duke mojo.
  23. Great info, thanks. I've been trying to convince friends that Hardy will be solid this year, but most people still cling to those first half numbers. Also, really excited to watch Bush pitch. I enjoy pitchers with low walk rate numbers. I do think many fans are going to be disappointed if Turnbow and Cappy fall back to earth this season.
  24. Afraid? C'mon. I think the business decision is clear. Have you seen the ratings for football in Wisconsin? That said, it would be nice if there was another station to catch the Brewers on.
