We finally did it. We gave in and got a Wii.
We didn't do it for all of the colorful party and casual games, but I'm a sucker for lightgun games, so with Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles coming up, I simply had to get one. While I have yet to purchase a gun casing, we played some Wii Sports (bowling and baseball are our faves, but we suck at tennis), and we also have MadWorld lying around here somewhere. One of the other points of interest are the C64 games on the Virtual Console. Can't wait to check out some of the old classics!
I didn't manage to make a dent in my DVR backlog. Only watched Fringe (if you like Criminal Minds-meets-X-Files, this show is for you), and a few more shows were on last night, so I've got even more catching up to do. We did watch Stargate Universe (awesome!) and FlashForward (good!), however, so I guess it could have been worse.
