Wii is in my house
I've been so detached form pop culture, since I've been focused on developing my art and craft, my individualiy, rather then being moved by the masses to buy popular items such as the iPod, but today I was out shopping for a Wii with my 13-year-old brother and mom.
We stood in line at Target and were the 24th individuals to buy the Wii at 8:25 this morning, the new Nintendo gaming system. The hype made the situation exciting. I Was waiting to see when hair would be pulled or someone would be tackled. Last night one man bought a system and was robbed in the parking lot!
I talked about heaven, my animator cousin's inability to concentrate due to the rapid fire picture, sound, experience in entertainment today which causes one to lose control of one's faculties which affects us all amongst dozens of other things. I even noticed a dad and daughter team troop from the nearby K-mart which had only 6 systems, down to the Target which had 42 in store. Not to mention a young girl who was there buying a Wii for her brother in law, in the phone with her husband who was a Super Target buying himself his own. They seemed to be excited to play the old NES and Super NES games.
I was caught up in the hype standing there in line so I talked a great deal and made my brother laugh accordingly to jokes such as [ones I don't remember] but when I saw him play Wii baseball, I was unenchanted by the poor graphics and boring nature of the system. After all, they're only games. I'm more excited about the super Nintendo games, like Yoshi's cookies we can download. InshaAllah (God willing), soon. Returning to my youth, that is valuable. Not game play. The new zune, media player looks interesting, but its just like the iPod video, I suppose.
