We bought Michael the Wall*E game for the Wii for Christmas. He played it for exactly twelve seconds before asking for his mom’s help. She took over and life hasn’t been the same since. The woman is obsessed with getting that creepy little robot through piles of trash without sinking in lakes of radioactive goo.

Between the two of us, we’ve managed to complete a few stages, but only at the expense of our vocal chords, dignity, at least one bottle of tequila and my right foot (which sent the ottoman flying on one occasion).

We like the Wii, and most of the games… but this one is beyond frustrating. I bought it used, and I’m beginning to understand why the previous owner returned it. I’m sure there was blood and strong medication involved.

(NukeDad) I may have to go pick that up! Sounds like fun and it will help me get my tequila intake up.

Bwahahaha! I’m laughing so hard right now because I thought our family was the only one going through this right now. My wife’s a video game junkie, so I got her Super Mario Brothers Wii for Christmas and it’s been a nut house ever since. It allows for 4 players, which my wife also refers to as playing in “divorce mode.” That and she utters cuss words I haven’t heard since my Army days.

Good luck and hang in there. May the best Mario win!

(NukeDad) “Divorce Mode”, that is too funny. The kids know that if they want to expand to 4 remotes and all out family warfare that they are going to have to pay for them with their Christmas/Birthday money. 2 family members at each others throats is plenty right now.

Impressive use of a semi-colon.

I feel your pain. I have spent the days since Christmas helping SpongeBob, Sandy and Patrick save Bikini Bottom on the XBOX.

Wii Rocks.

(NukeDad) Not bad for a partial colon, eh? I almost know how and when to use them; oops.; I mean, ; oh, forget it.

I nearly threw up watching that; I guess I’m old or something. I prefer the original Donkey Kong with the stand-up arcade setup. (Groan.)

We don’t have a Wii but play Mario Kart all the time on the Nintendo DS. I guess it’s more my speed because I don’t feel like throwing up when I play it. It’s really fun!

(NukeDad) The old arcade games were cool; remember Tron? I tried to explain the old Mattel Electronics games to the NukeBoy’s and they looked at me like I had just regurgitated a hamster.

I got Arica a Wii for Christmas and I have been playing it too much. I think it is best that I just go back to my PS3 and leave her to the Wii. I prefer PS3 anyway.

(NukeDad) It’s fun, but I think you’re right; give me Halo on the Xbox 360 and I’m happy.

Okay, listen up because I’ll tell you how to win that damn game It’s actually a good thing to be near last place on the last lap of the race. You coast through the finish and take over the lead with one of those cheap bullet things or a gold mushroom at the last second. You’ll find in the upper levels that even if you’re in first place with ten yards to go that some jackass always overtakes you at the end. Oh, it’ll piss you off and you’ll swear the machine is cheating (which it is of course). I won the game a few months ago, but it took a lot of frustration. Have fun!

(NukeDad) At this point it doesn’t matter if I’m first or last; my kids always find a way to beat me at the last second. It sure is fun though!
