E3 or "How I learned to love the Wii."

I cannot believe another E3 has come and gone. Thousands of people lined up to see new hardware and software for the next year. All the booths filled with eager buyers waiting to catch a glimpse of the next big thing. [Insert sound of record needle being yanked across vinyl] Picture Ninentdo's booth filled. Everyone else was begging for attention. Nintendo stole the show. The new console the Nintendo Wii (pronounced Weeee) was the darling of the show. And is the system was the darling, the controller was the cherry on top. Sony has a system, the PS3, that's going to be too expensive. The Xbox 360 is already a has been after their debut last fall. The Nintendo Wii brings us a new concept in gaming. They have found a way to bring us into the game. The controller is tracked flawlessly in the game. This means we control the game completely. They didn't need a $1000 virtual reality helmet or Blue Ray compatibility. They created a stick with buttons and a speaker. When you were a kid, pretending to be Robin Hood, Luke Skywalker, or even Indiana Jones, a stick could be your best friend. It was your gun, lightsabre, bow and arrows, knife, flight stick, hammer, sword, nung-chucks. Anything your imagination could come up with. Nintendo has reinvented the wheel, at least in the sense of video gaming.

I missed you

Hello everyone. It's been almost nine months since my last post. I'm still here. Things became really hectic at work. I wrote an article last year about something I saw on a classified ad. I was reading the classifieds because I thought I would not have a job much longer. God really prevailed. I was supposed to lose my job in June of last year, but here I am, with a promotion to boot. Doesn't He know how to work things out? Hopefully you'll see articles with my usual flair attached to them. Thanks for hanging in there with me. I hope you like my new musings and have a blessed day.
