Confessional

Where have I been? Well, if you have one of those new Core 2 Duo based MacBook Pros, don’t press ctrl-option-apple-], because that activates the “time-warp” hidden feature, which jets you about a month into the future. Me, I found this one out the hard way. Interestingly, while my fingernails didn’t grow at all, I’ve got lots more facial hair, and I seem to have acquired a tail. It’s pretty handy though, I can hang shopping bags on it when I go to market.

But that’s not why I’m writing now, gentle reader. I’m writing because I have something to tell you. In spite of my apparent rampant geekiness, (deep breath here) I have never owned a game console. Never. Never ever. I don’t really like them very much, to be honest. I don’t know if it’s the solitary uncommunicative nature of most of the high profile games, or what, but playing games on a TV just has never appealed to me (except that VHS-based version of Clue , which I reallyreally wanted for something like my 12th birthday).

But now I want a Wii .

The games look fun . Silly, even. This seems to be the game console for people who like The Muppet Show . You can keep your PS3s and Xboxen, there’s really nothing there that I’m interested in (except maybe one thing ). The review I just read in Slashdot actually made me laugh out loud for real, not in some kiddie-in-MSN “lol” kind of way. I just hope it lives up to the Revolution-ary hype.
