I heard 2 gallons. :(

That's what happened to Terri Schiavo, hyponatremia. Hers was from drinking 10-12 glasses of iced tea a day instead of water, but it amounted to the same thing.

I spent about three hours on Saturday Night playing the new Zelda game. I am not enticed by this experience into getting one.

Expect lawsuits related to carpal tunnel.

Most game controllers sort of rest on your hands as you play. The Wii controller and the nunchuck have to be actively gripped the whole time. It sucks mightily.

I've spent almost 30 hours now on Twilight Princess and it's amazing. From a game design standpoint it's so well done I can't even tell you. Nintendo has always been the best as far as game play goes in my opinion. If you only see the Wii as a gimmick with some controller doobah then you are just being blind to the technological achievement. Link, ftw. (Disclaimer: The Zelda franchise framed my childhood, so I'm a bit on the biased side.)

Can't. Stop. Playing. Rabbids!

The only game that had my sides hurting from laughter.

I'm grinning from ear to ear just reading about your fun! The Raving Rabbids is hysterical! I think my favorite is Choir Practice.

For me, its the dancing. The very first mini-game I attempted was the disco "beat match" game. I completely failed the first time around because I couldn't stop laughing at the bunny pelvic thrusts and air guitar.

I know. I know. :biggrin:

For an even bigger laugh wrt pelvic thrusts and air guitar, try out WarioWare's Smooth Moves. For many of the minigames, the controller is held/placed in non-traditional ways, like on your nose for "elephant mode" and on your palm for "waiter mode" and on your hips for "hula mode". Then you have to make the proper motion with your whole body to get the remote to direct the screen to do the right thing. Very, very entertaining.

I still have some getting used to the controls before I do some of those games, first. I managed to snag Monkeyball Banana Blitz as well only to find that I had a hard time playing the party games because I didn't have the hang of the controllers, yet. The "story mode" game was easy, though, and the tilting world, as it did when I got to play the Gamecube version, made me nauseated.

It rocks. :3eye:

You gotta leeeeeean into it!

Wii, Water, Death

A California woman died of water intoxication while trying to win a Nintendo Wii during a radio station's water-drinking contest.

What do you think? Chris Friedman, Systems Analyst - "Get ready for the most ridiculous series of PSAs in history."

:rolleyes:

Really, Flint. Didn't we already cover this in posts #29-34? Come to class, buddy.

Next!

Nothing really "happens" until it gets coverage in TheOnion.

"Maybe we should have researched this, before."
"We know [they can die]. We signed leases so we're not responsible!"

Sick.
