will update impressions on actual computer 5 feet away.
impressions.
going from xbox live to wii is like going from windows to mac, it's like WTF?
I just remembered to connect my wii to the internet because for the past few days it wouldn't work because there was something wrong with my router so I tried a neighbor's unsecured wireless connection. and it works fine. takes forever to test a connection though.
tried the news channel and that was pretty nice. Took a fucking long time to load though but viewing pages is really easy.
I tried the shop channel then and then I saw the vote channel was free so I started to download that. that has the worst load time ever. it's just mario running under three blocks and hitting a coin over and over against a white background. it just made a weird jump...apparantly it tells you ever third of the download that's completed which makes sense since you're not downloading gigabytes. I started to download the browser and the mario's big now. aren't you supposed to get a friends code or something when you connect to the internet.
weren't all nintendo games supposed to be free downloads? all the games have to be paid for.
I still like the wii because most of the time that you're in the mood for a multiplayer game, you're in a wii mood. you want something that doesn't require much skill/learning and where you're fucking waving your hands around like a moron. it's awesome for that and I'll be able to get games that have a worthwhile single player mode too.
I tried to see if the vote channel would work but I got an error code so I'll try that another day.
basically this thing is for Metroid Prime 3, gamecube games, and wii sports or wii play. same thing but wii sports creates physical pain though with all the insistence on frustrating you into thinking it will ever understand that you did a perfect swing, hit, roll, etc. It's addicting but not actually ever..working well.
online it's no match for xbox live. I have fun on that. I'd personally prefer cheesy car patterns that some jap kid made in 300 hours in forza 2 than mii's that look basically the same.
and I don't exactly like japanese people.
I'd really wish they had a color other than ruby-cum but whatever. doesn't look worse than psp. that looks bad as fuck since you can carry that into the bathroom and whatever. yeah.

yeah I'd imagine that's going to be the most entertaining thing until I get a singleplayer game (twilight princess?) which I hope to do in the next few days. It takes a few hours to get over the shock that you just hit a book case swinging remote like a golf club but I like the system so far.

I've been broadinging my horizons with my new Wii. For example, I bought 2 games that I would've never have bought before, Excite Truck and Zelda.
Cause there's nothing else to fucking play!
I also got WarioWare and Godfather, but I've own Godfather before and wanted to play it again and WarioWare is self explanatory.

elebits is the best FPS on the wii. believe.

The fuck? Are you some kind of illiterate hobo? You don't have to be a fucking computer scientist to transition from windows to os x in like 5 minutes. They're modern graphical operating systems. Its not like you have to switch between DOS CLI and Unix CLI or something.
Your comparison makes zero sense except to trollish fanboys.

the comparison is going from modern windows to mac. imac isn't what I'm talking about.

What? You're still incomprehensible.

well yeah.

so i gave the wii browser a second chance last night. after trying out the beta i was pretty disappointed.
i'm actually surprised at how well it performs. compared to the PS3 browser, it's much quicker and easier to use with the wiimote. the resolution is shit poor though, zooming in/out just makes everything look like a blurry mess. i think i'm going to switch over to the wii for my youtube TV viewing.

It needs to be able to use a USB keyboard.
