Video Games
I bought a Wii a month ago, and I haven't owned a system of my own in about 4 years, and even then it was an original nintendo.
What up gamers? What game should I get? I'm out of the loop.
Also
how about video games?
Final Fantasy 3 (American Version) forever!
Did anybody read Nintendo Power back in the day? Somewhere in my parent's attic I still have a copy of the second issue ever.

"I don't really play video games"

Sorry. I forget 'meta' is not 'helping'.
My brother plays video games.
I got kind of obsessed with this for a kind of unhealthy amount of time. The music is like medicine.
It has been so much fun. Getting into Zelda for the first time! Stuff like that.
Hell yes I read Nintendo Power back in the day!!!!!!
So my point is I have no recommendations for you. I've literally never even seen a Wii
Paper Mario is a beautiful little adventure/RPG game. The design conceit is that Mario switches between 2D and 3D. Both worlds are beautifully rich and full. It's not too hard, not too easy. Nintendo gets that Mario is for everyone... it's cute, but also challenging and rewarding.
Mario Galaxy is a total wii mind****. It takes the reality of the two controllers as far as it can. The design conceit is that each level takes place on a different planet. The planets are relatively small so you go all around them, like The Little Prince's home comet. There is this one level in particular that will go down as one of the most psychedelic experiences of my life. You're on this small water planet and you have to kill 3 huge eels. They're so huge that they cross each other in their travels, swimming over this tiny water planet. The 3D and subjective scale of everything totally f***** by brain.
On the Wii you can download emulators, so if you like cute and clever adventure/RPGs you HAVE TO GET THE MOTHER SERIES FOR NES. Search Mother 2, Mother 3, and Earthbound. I played Earthbound on a Wii and it was so awesome. Because the processors for NES and Wii are so different, you can speed up anything you are playing through the NES emulator. No more waiting through the tedious orchestration of a multi-player battle.
Portal is a kick-ass puzzle game. You are in a weird robotic testing facility. You have to try to get out. The design conceit is that you zap in- and out-portals in each room. You make a portal you go in, and another one you go out of. You go in through the in portal and hope that you put your out portal in the right place. It's scary without being about war.
currently doing a lot of 'Picross 3D' on the DS at 'work'.
Also, I had fun with Elebits.
Also, Wario Ware Smooth Moves is SO FUN.
What if I make home-made pizza
What if I have pizza wine
grease-covered controllers
a pepperoni hanging limply from the top of the tv
a fistfight or two and nintendo for cash"
Never thought I'd say that.
LA NOIRE IS SO COOL

let's play things
i have so much work to do
every mario game is awesome. if i had a nintendo that is all i would play.
i'm really into swords and sorcery rite now on the iphone. i think it would be better on the ipad coz bigger but i like the 8bit and awesome music. im also really good at hipster city cycle on iphone except i don't think it's possible to beat any of the speed trials.
i saw a funny comic on reddit or something and it was like doctor says "hey guy, check out this awesome virtual reality machine its the best and most advanced ever" and then guy is like "ok, cool!" -does some video game virtual reality stuff- says "i'm bored" finds a nintendo classic and starts playing mario in virtual world. i had a few lulz
I would totally come to a nintendo party.
I would come even more to a nintendo and pizza party. <--awkwardly worded
I bought a cheapo baseball game when I first got the wii and hurt my back playing it. I bought a wii initially because they are cheap now and they stream netflix on TVs.
I just borrowed Super Mario Galaxy and the newest Zelda and HOLY SHIT THAT MARIO GAME IS WILD!! I also just found out that they made a Katamari game for wii. I only played the original Katamari a few times at a friends house, but I loved it. Does anyone know if the one for wii is any good?
Edit: I guess the Wii Katamari was scrapped and never actually made. Sucky.

You can make your Dolphin jump so high that it reaches the restaurant at the end of the universe. No joke. That's what happens. I've never gotten that high though.

there are a series of closed doors to every room
the door represents the time it takes for the computer to draw the next room
the doors are analogous to curtains of stage play
each blood bath which ensues is but a scene full of players.
Back in the olden days before the 4loko prohibition act, I went to a wildly succesful N64loko party and a bunch of us dudes got all hopped up on the bad decision juice and played some 007. was fun, would play again.
Even better. You have to feed them to satiate their homicidal urges.
Otherwise you get killed by demon giraffes.
I think this is biblically and historically accurate.
only with pizza and wine
Knowledge that will never leave me.
On a semi related note, we need another PITT! @KMikeyM did I get the acronym right?
Update: No, I didn't. POTT is what I was looking for. (heh)
this is so totally bananas
there was this whole genre of games that i found in weird AOL file areas. remember that? AOL would just have weird file areas, arranged by file type, in chronological order of the time they were uploaded? you would download like the engine for this type of game, and then players would make their own version. you'd have to try 100's and 1 or 2 would be any good. did anyone else play these?
also remember LORD aka legend of the red dragon? it was a bbs game, text only. ind of alighthearted take on MUD aka multi user dungeon. By Seth Able Robinson. Well LORD2 was this type of ascii game and it was as good as zelda and mario. Beautiful maps of ascii glyphs that you travel through with your little smiley guy. That was an amazingly complex adventure game.
