I beat Okami

I actually beat it like 2 weeks ago... and I've been playing it on and off for about a year now... it took me 40 hours (probably could've done it faster if I hadn't searched for stray beads and failed so many times at those ridiculous Susano slash scenes).

What an awesome game. Now I'm debating on whether or not to bother beating it again with the sparkly new game option. Anyone think it's worth it? I'll probably revisit it down the road....

Wii Gloves

Why haven't they developed Wii gloves yet? And I'm not talking about those shoddy boxing gloves or weighted gloves labeled "Wii Gloves" for use with the balance board.

I'm not even talking about a power glove (as "bad" as it is/was).


I'm talking about gloves that have sensors in the finger tips. The Wii would be able to sense if you're making a fist, pointing (and which finger you're pointing with), or have your palm open (face up or face down). Imagine how crazy a game of Wario Ware would be then? That's only the beginning.

Apparently I'm not the only one who has thought of this idea. But what's stopping them?

Just an update

So I read my last post about Harvest Moon and it made me laugh at how silly I was to be "overwhelmed" with a videogame. Then again, I haven't played it since that post. My sister-in-law Shannon played it, got hooked, so naturally I had to let her borrow it. It's totally fine, because I have quite a few games to catch up on / complete.

I'm just gonna write a list to make things easier:

-Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World (I'm on Chapter 8 of 8... so close)

-Super Mario Galaxy (I'd say I'm about 1/2 way done with this)

-No More Heroes (Also 1/2 way done with it. I gotta finish this sooner than later because I REALLY want to play the sequel)

-Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (I only started this one... nowhere near finishing it. It'll get done.)

-Okami (I think I'm about 1/2 way done with this, too...)

-Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (I just have to kill Dracula, but I got my ass kicked, so I have to level up quite a bit)

That about wraps it up. Ugh. There are so many new games I want to try/play, but I feel some sort of obligation to finish these first. At least a few of them...

Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility

First off, this game is 100 times better than Animal Crossing. Yes, it's a bit annoying that every 5 seconds in real life is 10 minutes in the game, but you learn to deal. I rented it twice, then decided to buy it ($30 at Gamestop, why not?). I also reserved the New Super Mario Bros. in the process.

My problem now is that I've got to take care of 3 plots of farmland, 6 chickens, 2 ducks, 4 silkworms, 2 goats, 2 sheep and an ostrich. It's sad to say this about a videogame, but it's overwhelming. I'm hoping to get married and make my wife take on some of the responsibility. Then we'll have a kid and I can pass even more chores off onto him or her.

My friend Chris!

I know I haven't updated this shit in forever, but my buddy Chris in NYC gave me the go ahead to post his Wii code on here, so.... get at 'em!

Leaving my gate open

I've been leaving my gate open sometimes after I play, so don't hesitate to check out Gnawbone. I'll probably be in my house "watching TV."

Just don't take all my flowers! Leave me a message if you drop by! :)

animal crossing calender

So I was browsing a site dedicated to animal crossing, and you can download a calender to your mac/pc to remind you of "important dates," like contests, flea markets, etc.

Brad has Animal Crossing - start of introductions

Brad doesn't post much on here, so I thought I'd do it for him. He's a buddy of mine in NYC. We hung out quite a bit around New Year's time and a few months after. Here's his Animal Crossing info:

1590-8178-8368, Brad in Astoria

I figured I'd give a little description of some of my friends on here so it feels more like a "network" of friends rather than a bunch of strangers.

Right now Wes is the only other friend on this blog who has Animal Crossing (I will post MY code once I register it... too busy playing right now). I met Wes through his wife, Christina, whom I've been friends with since college. They got married awhile ago and they're two awesome people. They love video games, so I love them.

I'd love them regardless, but you know, the video game thing doesn't hurt.

Animal Crossing

Wes purchased Animal Crossing last night with Wii Speak. So if you want to chat it up here's our code!

I'll have to get back to you on the specific game codes.

You're more likely to find me on xbox live though...

My Wii Codes

So, here are my codes...

Wii Console Code - 1044 0812 2968 8585

Game Codes:

Super Smash Brothers Brawl - 1075-0397-9637


MarioKart - 4339-3009-6354


Bomberman Blast - 2449-7749-0655


Dr. Mario Online Rx - 6793-1520-7421


I think those are my only "online capable" games as of yet. I'm sure there will be more to come, and I'll be updating this list. So, post yours and let's get registering!

... and I'll be posting Wii Codes in the side bar for easier access, as opposed to searching through the blog for someone's codes.

Wii are on our way...

Let me start by saying I am hopeful that this really works and takes off.

I am creating this blog in hopes that a social network of sorts will form organically. Sure, this could be done through MySpace or Facebook, but I think it'd work best as a blog. Besides, the real point is to play with people you actually know.

Share. Love. Play Wii.

I want to get a jump start on Wii games that have online capabilities. I want to have a place I can play people I know, or know through a friend. While online capabilities have taken gaming to a much awaited level, online gaming has become so incredibly faceless at times that it loses its original purpose. If I wanted to fight/race/play against an anonymous player, a CPU will do just fine. Some may argue that even an anonymous player brings more of a challenge than a CPU, but that's not the point.

The point is I want to form a group of people who want to play Wii together and perhaps know each other. Is that too much to ask?

So I guess how this will work is I will slowly but surely add authors to this blog who will then trade Wii codes with each other, and we'll all play together online. Woo hoo!
