On Saturday afternoon, Meredith and I took the train out to my parents house in NJ so that we could spend Christmas with my fam! I brought along the Wii so that the whole family could play (which we ended up doing for hours on end). Here's my mom and brother getting ready to square off in tennis. But before they played, we decided that we all needed to...
And then it was on like Donkey Kong! My mom's real-world tennis skills gave her an early advantage - but after two or three games, Brett's video-tennis skills kicked in and he dominated!
I spent Tuesday night hiding from holiday parties trying to wrap up Zelda so that I could stop obsessing over it! "Oh, over the Bridge of Eldin? Thanks, Goron!"
On Saturday night my parents came into town for the day! After walking around and having lunch in our neighborhood, we went back to our apartment so my parents could try out our new Wii! My mom actually played a video game and liked it!
Lawrence was waaaay to drunk to make it home from his party so he spent the night on our couch! We spent the next day working off our hangovers with a little Wii Bowling! Here's Lawrence showing off his bowling form!
...while I played Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess until 5am in the morning. (When I get into a video game, I pretty much get obsessed. I end up staying up all hours playing them just so I can beat them and get on with my life). I named my character's horse "Ponyhole" and when this gem of dialogue popped up on screen, I felt it merited a screenshot.
They had that golf simulator where the course is projected onto a big, plastic screen in front of you. You take a real club and real balls and hit them at the screen full force! They have sensors that detect the trajectory and speed of the ball hitting the screen and it shows you where your ball "went."
