My female co-workers are actually stoping work and talking about the Wii, and one of them said they're going to buy one.  Now she is trying to convince the others to buy it.  They're all in the 30+ age range too.

I want zelda, and the backwards hackability for gamecube amuses me, as its essentially cracked already.

I am just surprised that anything sparked a gaming conversation with these broads.  They are just not the type to buy a console, period.

Ah the gamecube  portion of the wii is so intact that one can use action replay and sd loader to play emulators.

I've never seen the amount of positive press the Wii is getting. It's amazing. It should be no surprise that it's starting to crossover into the non-gamer's lexicon.

SUPER STAR SOLDIER? Fuck AWESOME

Of course it's getting positive press; all Nintendo had to do was go to mainstream editors and columnists and say WINK WINK HEY CHECK THIS OUT IT'S A CONSOLE FOR YOU NOT THOSE FUCKING NERDS AND THEIR HALOS AND GEAR WARS AND WHATEVER

Who knew that the "one console future" was going to have Mario as the mascot?

I used to be such a extreme hardcore Nintendo fanboy. Soon as I start to get into 360 and overall be much much much less into video games they start dominating. Weird.
