Wii all over the place

I walked into the local Target (pronounced Tar-jay) to do my part for the retail circle of life and buy some groceries, and whilst stumbling about the toy section, looking at the latest nerf weaponry, a huge kiosk of white and blue caught my eye.

A Wii? My local Target has a Wii? No fraking way!

I started running to the aisle with my cart flung out in front of me like a battering ram of doom. I am glad no one was in the way, because there would have been injuries. Fatal injuries.

Alas. It is just an empty kiosk, with accessories and nothing else. Why would someone buy a Wiimote cover for a Wiimote that is not even out yet? Damn, you retail gods! Damn you!

In some mystical backroom, the Wii sits awaiting gentle caresses and much hoo-daa-catter-wailing of the fanboys that must have one as soon as possible.

I long for the old nes and snes days. My DSlite is a nice holdover in the world of overpriced consoles, and I hope the Wii turns to be awe-some (80′s slang). Because the world of gaming needs something awe-some again. Something magical to pull the gaming muggles into the world that too few of us cherish and the rest write off as a childish pursuit that just causes kids to kill other kids. (Which is total bullshit by the way.)

So I wait. For the Wii to show it’s preorder status on Amazon along with next Zelda game (Twilight Princess).

I hate waiting.
