my interest level lasted all of 2 weeks....some tennis game and a bowling game.....i played it for about another 2 weeks cause the kids wouldn't take no for an answer....but once you realize that you can play almost all those games without standing up...with only a slight flick of your wrist...it all kinda becomes meh...

doug and pig, what are your level of education and current job positions?

Do you play games alone or online / with friends (multiplayer games) most of the time?

how much time a week do you spend playing video games?

Does this amount of time tend to increase ?

Is your Tv in the lounge?

Was your parents TV in the lounge when you were kids?

i think the Wii is really special in that it shows us the exciting possibilities of immersible gaming technology in the forthcoming years

but just like the first car, first telephone, and first video game console......its still very rudimentary technology

its going to be cool as hell to be a kid iin 20 years, you will have full virtual reality where you can play call of duty in a full-on 3D environment........very cool

i doubt it....as a child on the weekends...we'd play cricket for 5 to 8 hours in the morning...then some field hockey or soccer for a few...then go ride our bikes the rest of the day or go horse back riding with friends etc...

in 20 years..kids will be even lazier...stuck in front of the teli most of the day

we did play videogames...but it ws almost always at an arcade ....for a few hours on the weekend

the ones who will produce video games will use em to control the millions of people who will flee real life in these virtual worlds... how cool is that.

I just see another hard drug with lot of side effects in the making.

i meant the technology will be cool in 20 years

i agree that in 20 years, if there is still a functioning world.....children will be sedentary, spoiled, atrophied  .....even more so then today, unless there is a profound change in the collective planetary consciousness

it's ok if you consider "reading" as being as useless as playing video games, you re entitled to your opinion.

Where do i try too hard to sound smart?

Im just asking people questions. Im also inviting them to think twice with me about what they consider being "good" or "bad". Does this make me sound like a smartass? Nobody's forced to answer my innocent questions or think twice about them either.

haha you consider getbig quality info reading? fuck, i love reading, but you cant be serious about getbig, its entertainment and you know it. Yes, you do try to sound smart, like about tv's, when you see a lot of screens you already assume that its a pumpkinhead with brainwashed conciousness, i once told you already i never watch tv, just soccer games occasionally,, because its all crap info. But you insist labeling me in the generation nothingness, thats where you try to sound too smart, dont judge so fast,

thinking about buying it, how is the gaming expirience is it realistic?

If you want REALISTIC, deffianetly get PS3. Even XBOX 360 is non realistic for my taste.

PS3 by far, not to mention that it pretty much does everything. i have a HD hooked to it, i watch Movies and shit straight from my PS3, its pretty cool . Although i just bought a new TV which has a USB input, but Still the PS3 is awesome

take it back (before it breaks down) and get a PS3

as for the wii it's like guitar hero or rock band, seems cool and unique at first but gets old fast, and who wants to actually move when they play video games?

It is really only fun with a group of people. Killer at a party. I had one for a few months, then gave it to my nephew. Not worth the money imo. But it really depends on want you want to do with it.
