The jokes almost write themselves, don't they?

Things you should not say in public if you own a Nintendo Wii:

"I'm going to play with my Wii."
"Lets play some Wii games."
"Why don't you have a Wii?"
"I have owned my Wii for some time and it is starting to turn yellow from sweat & dust."
"I prefer my Wii over anything else at the moment".
"My Wii is excellent."
"What about your Wii, how are you getting on?"
"Your Wii or my Wii?"
"Why don't you bring your Wii over tonight?"
"That was a good Wii session we had last night."

I seriously don't know what the big N were thinking when they came up with the "Wii" name. It's beyond dumb - it's plain juvenile. Revolution sounds so much better.

That would have been a good idea since it has been taken as changing the face of games completely. Whether thats a good or bad thing we shall see.

I heard of someone that kept their Wii on the shelf underneath their television.

Weirdo.

I'm with you on that one Felge. I don't like 'Marty' being slapped on the end of a console name! I wonder why it was done - maybe because the 'FM Towns Marty' was sponsored by Marty Pellow

Would that be a controller that you hold in one hand and wave about?
