Where have I been? Well, if you have one of those new Core 2 Duo based MacBook Pros, don’t press ctrl-option-apple-], because that activates the “time-warp” hidden feature, which jets you about a month into the future. Me, I found this one out the hard way. Interestingly, while my fingernails didn’t grow at all, I’ve got lots more facial hair, and I seem to have acquired a tail. It’s pretty handy though, I can hang shopping bags on it when I go to market.

But that’s not why I’m writing now, gentle reader. I’m writing because I have something to tell you. In spite of my apparent rampant geekiness, (deep breath here) I have never owned a game console. Never. Never ever. I don’t really like them very much, to be honest. I don’t know if it’s the solitary uncommunicative nature of most of the high profile games, or what, but playing games on a TV just has never appealed to me (except that VHS-based version of Clue, which I reallyreally wanted for something like my 12th birthday).

But now I want a Wii.

The games look fun. Silly, even. This seems to be the game console for people who like The Muppet Show. You can keep your PS3s and Xboxen, there’s really nothing there that I’m interested in (except maybe one thing ). The review I just read in Slashdot actually made me laugh out loud for real, not in some kiddie-in-MSN “lol” kind of way. I just hope it lives up to the Revolution-ary hype.
