Wiiiii

So most of you know, we are proud owners of a Nintendo Wii. And I love our Wii. It's funny, it was my gift to Nate on our first wedding anniversary, but you know what, we both use it quite a bit. Most of the time we play with it together, which is pretty much the point behind having it.

Our favorite Wii features? We like two things that are on these "Channels" you can download. One is called the "Everybody Votes Channel" and the other is called the "Check Mii Out Channel." On the Everybody Votes channel, you can vote in a poll that is either National or Worldwide. They also let you pick what you think the majority of people will choose. Then after about a week you are able to see the results and also if your prediction was correct. They give you stats of male and female responses, responses by state if it's national and by country if it's worldwide.

On the Check Mii out channel, you can enter your little Mii creations into specific contests (an example would be "the perfect 80's rocker") and also vote on what others have submitted. Let me tell you, there are some really talented people out there when it comes to creating "Miis".

Our favorite games are Mario Kart Wii, Rockband 2 and Mario Party 8. I think we like these the best because they are games we can play together and they are interactive. We do like the Sports too, but we reach for these other games more often.

Honestly, it was one of the smartest purchases I ever made even if it was pretty expensive at the time. We use it multiple times a week, not just for games even. There are many other neat features about it. If I listed them all though, we could be here all day.

The one thing we don't have yet is a Wii Fit. I still really want one, I think it would be a fun way to workout! We'll see how things go, I think we'll end up with one eventually!
