Rantings of a Creole Princess

Square Up!

I bought myself something FABULOUS today! GO ME! 

I went to  Marbles, the brain store and started playing with all the games.  Then...I played this one and got HOOKED!   Mindware Square Up

It is soooooooooooo AWESOME and I'm up in here HOOKED!  Robby thinks he's gonna win this next one.  NOT!  LOL!

Robby:  Um...it says ages 6 and up.

Me:  Then that means we're old enough.

SIP:  BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

It's an awesome game the entire family can play!!!!!!

Does this game look like something that would make you stop and go hmmmmmmmmm???

Nintendo Games for CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

It's finally too dang cold for me to leave my house without having a really good reason.  I just stay in and work.  Sometimes, however, my brain is on a MAJOR freeze and I can't hit Command/Alt + ESC to force quit and restart.  What do I do instead?

Wii baby.

 

Now yall all know my Godson rules at 13700 so it's always cool when he takes the time to show me how to play a game on the Wii.  When Nintendo sent me (FOR FREE)  Kirby's Epic Yarn, E took it out first and played it.  I could tell by the oohs and the aaahs that it was super fun but see...I can't let him know that I don't know what's what with a game so I just kinda sit back in the cut and play it when he's not home.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaby...me and Kirby?  BEST.ISH.EVER!  Kirby be jumping and leaping, turning into parachutes and cars and ish...dude be DOING-T IT!    E absolutely LURVES it and I have to say...I'm a fan as well.  In fact...it was all I played for a minute when I was trying to power down until Nintendo sent me (FOR FREE) Donkey Kong Country Returns!

Now see...Donkey Kong is a game I remember from waaaaaaaaay back in the day and I was pretty confident that, even though I'm old and it's new, I could work my way around it.  So yeah...E had already played it so when I posted up with the fireplace and a glass of wine to play some Wii...it was in the console.  I started flicking and flopping and BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABY!  THIS GAME IS SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FUN!  LIKE...I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU HOW MUCH FUN!  TWO HOURS LATER I LOOKED UP AND WAS LIKE...CRAP!  I DIDN'T COOK DINNER YET!

This game is so awesome...I had to find some vid-yo for yall to look at cuz it's totally AMAZING!  TOTALLY!  I'm sooooooooooo addicted and I'm 41 flipping years old!  Oh my goodness!  This game is soooooooo much fun!

So listen up...if you're looking for a game for a kid about Cole's age...get Kirby's Epic Yarn.  The music is like way soothing and I can see them enjoying it.  If you're looking for a game the entire family can play and talk noise behind?  That would be Donkey Kong Country Returns playa!  Hell...I wish I could put it on my iPad.  I mean...seriously...I could play that game all the dang time.  I wonder if they have if for the DSL??????  Hmmmmmmmmmmm...off to ask Mr. Google!

Oh yeah...I heard about another Wii game that is making me sit up straight.  Disney Epic Mickey.  I saw the preview of it at a movie theater recently and I sat up in my seat because I just KNEW I needed that in my life!  NINTENDO!  IF YOU'RE LISTENING!  YOU KNOW I'M YOUR BIGGEST/OLDEST KID!  I DESERVE SOME EPIC MICKEY IN MY LIFE!!!!!  PLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any Wii games on YOUR shopping list?  Which ones?  Have you played them yet?

 

Is Nintendo for REAL?????

Recently I thought I'd roll out and purchase a Wii so I could get the Wii Fit. Hell...why not? It seems cool as hell and I like interactive things. I grabbed my bag and rolled out cuz in my mind...all you need is money to buy what you want.

And I had money.

So I roll out and hit store one. The dude blinked at me as if I was a martian.

Dude: You want a Wii and the Wii Fit huh? So do I. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I left.

Second store.

Dude: Um...you gotta get here when the shipment comes in.
Me: Okay...when does the shipment come in?
Dude: We don't know.
Me: *BLINK* *BLINK* *BLINK*

Third store.

Chick: Ma'am...EVERYBODY wants one and we don't know when they come in but you gotta be here when the shipment comes in cuz they get sold out in minutes.

Hmmmmmm.......

Now...this does not compute to me. If you have an item as costly as the Wii plus the added cost of the Wii Fit...WOULDN'T YOU THINK THAT THE STORES WOULD BE WELL STOCKED IN ORDER TO KEEP UP WITH DEMAND?????

OR...

Do you think they are just messing with us? You know...keeping us salivating with the damn thing and basically just mind screwing us?

I abandoned my mission post haste mad as McCain and went home.

Pissed.

The more I thought about it...the madder I got. I mean hey...this was up there with the iPhone only being available on AT&T's network WHEN I DON'T GET DOWN WITH AT&T LIKE THAT!

I envisioned myself inviting the Usual Suspects over for some serious grown folks fun on YouTube...but...NERP. That ish ain't happening. And yup...I started simmering.

Then...THEN...a beacon of light. At the BlogHer conference Nintendo had a Wii Fit station set up so we could try it. I saw this as a sign and discussed my unhappiness at not being able to purchase one with one of the young ladies from GolinHarris, the public relations company representing the Wii Fit. The conversation was interesting to say the least with her trying to convince me that Nintendo is not trying to mind screw normal, regular consumers like myself...but couldn't really answer all of my questions so I'm still at the thought that NINTENDO IS TRYING TO MIND SCREW NORMAL, REGULAR CONSUMERS!

I mean...this ish is CA-RA-ZY! With gas prices the way they are they seriously want folks to keep driving around going back and forth trying to get this damn product????????? I mean REALLY! How arrogant is that?????

I'm actually very...VERY surprised at this. I mean hey...WE'VE BEEN GOOD TO NINTENDO HELL!

What say you? Do YOU think this is ridiculous?

Game Time Baby!

What is your favorite game to play? Monopoly, Scrabble, Spades?????
