Wii Like It
I remember the good old days, when not all kids were “indoor kids.” Sure, some kids were bookworms. I certainly was, but I still went outside to play. Not a two hour “play date,” but sometimes our ball games with lopsided and “make it up as you go along” rules lasted until it started to get dark. Do kids climb trees anymore? I haven’t seen one do that in a long time, and I am not that old.
I wondered if there possibly could be anything that would get children off their posteriors, or were they mutating and fusing to the sofa.
I think I found my answer, and it actually originally came in the form of inbox spam. That answer may just be the Nintendo Wii, which I had tucked under the rug in my brain because I was growing jaded from all the false offers promising me a free Wii. I found, however, a contest that is very real where you could actually win won legitimately. For those of you not familiar, Wii uses various sensors and controllers to force the user to physically move around like their video alter ego
Charter, the internet provider and all-around legit company, is having a drawing for entrants to have a chance to win a Nintendo Wii. Not only will you win the console, but will also receive a stand, 5 Sports games ( Boxing, Baseball, Tennis, Golf and bowling), 1 Remote Controller, 1 Nunchuk Controller, 1 Sensor Bar, 1 Wii AC Adapter, 1 Wii AV Cable. You will have everything you need to play! Click Here for a Chance to Win a Nintendo® Wii™!
In addition, they have an auction running where you can win internet service for life. The catch is that you have to be in an area that Charter services. That is easy to determine. Just enter your zip and you will find out.
I still am fond of my Atari 2600. Video games that look more realistic than, say, “Centipede” scare me a little, not unlike a caveperson revived from an ice block. Maybe Wii will be the next system to wax nostalgic about twenty years from now. I’ll need that time to acclimate to it.
