    Lemme tell you about my night.

    I had previous engagements until about 10 pm. Then I came home and putzed around a bit before deciding to check out the midnight launch at Wal-Mart. I get there about 11 and find that every Wii had been spoken for as of 4 that afternoon.

    Disappointed, I left and headed home, when suddenly it hit me:

    "I REALLY WANT THIS GODDAMN SYSTEM"

    So, I headed home and grabbed an extra layer of clothes, a folding chair, a heavy sleeping bag, and my DS, and set out for Circuit City to wait like the dumbasses I always laugh at. I pull up to find a mere 5 people out front of the store. I get my chair lai out, coccoon myself in my sleeping bag and began the waiting game. Fortunately, the people I was with were great company, we had fun (we tried to lob empty cheeseburger wrappers into the lighted sign, toss Coke bottles onto the roof, and went searching for an opossum we'd spotted). So, around rolls 7 am and the CC employees begin to appear to our fanfare.

    We wait about ten more minutes and the guy comes out of the store (I swear he had a halo) and begins handing out the vouchers. The store doesn't open until 10, but now that we had our vouchers, we were free to leave.

    So here I am, waiting an excrutiating 2 more hours before I can get my Wii.

    I'll keep you posted. Right now I need to warm up.

    I feel your pain, brother! I waited with a group of hardy souls in front of Wal-Mart for five hours to get my Wii. Was it worth it? Come on now, do you even have to ask that?

    I want a Wii. I'd play with my Wii all day long. When my parents tell me to take out the trash, I'll tell them, "Not now, dad, I'm playing with my Wii!" Once I have a Wii, you can call me Wiino. :)

    You mean, Sacred JellWiibean. Sacred Jellybwiin works, too, but ultimately, Wiilock From Hell rolls off the tongue most easily. :)

    Yeah, I should've figured they'd have been run into the ground by now by n00bs on GameFAQs.

    The end experience of using the Wii, as compared to the Atari 2600, is thus:

    It has longer load times.

    No, they're a fraction of the size, all volume taken into account.

    Wait, you mean in terms of lines of code? No, not just double. It's at LEAST three times the size!!!!!!
