Couch moved, Wii spotted

[prog]

Tuesday night dictator555 visited to help me haul my furniture around, implementing some redesign ideas she came up with last weekend, on my commission. I haven't plugged anything pluggy back in yet (on laptop now) but I'm already loving the effect of just having everything shifted around and the office turned back into a dining/gaming room. I feel like I've moved. If you've been here before you'll really notice the difference on your next visit.

I didn't mention before that Sunday night I got to play with a Wii, finally. The host had only one controller so there was none of the tennis that everyone's crowing about, but there was bowling, and that was plenty fun.

I ignored mrmorse's earlier admonition to let someone else make your Mii, so mine was based on my own perception of myself, and ended up looking something like a Planet of the Apes character with glasses. Other folks' Miis were group-build affairs and were all quite accurate. Just as with City of Heroes, it's almost half the fun, even though the goal is less making crazy character concepts and more just potato-heading up a Jpop-cute version of yourself.

Can you rescue Miis from friends' Wiis via broadband or do I actually have to go to this person's house and pick em up when I finally get my own Wii? It's not like we're more than acquaintances, so I'd rather just download them then have to go visit...

Spent hours being a perfectionist with Jmac's Arcade audio and ended up with something even worse than the first draft, hours later. It'll be days until I actually finish it. You'll know when I do.

I think having him mail you the Wii is your only recourse


(Maybe the furniture move means suibconsciously that you'll be getting that Wii soon)

Or, you know, when you get a Wii, you can just make a new one.

I assumed I'd be doing this (and I bet I will anyway) but several friends all made Miis that night too, and I want em all on my machine as well. :)

As a matter of fact, one purposeful effect of the rearrangement was to leave a large open area in front of the TV, which will be useful for you-know-what. (And it already is good for GH and DDR.)
