The Wii is an abomnation……… And it should have been destoryed, along with it’s creator.
abomination…. *clears throat*

Mario Kart Wii is fun tho :/
That is exactly my view… I guess, I am a right-wing die hard gamer…. Or, an “elitist” *The crowd cries jerk!!!!* Yeah…. I know lol.
I see the wii as an invasion from the old and the non skilled…. lol… Oh and for some a lame excuse of fitness… :/
