The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Laga, Wing Island is a simple but fun flying game for the Wii. The storyline is written for 7-year-olds, so skip through that part, but the flying is pretty good.

Okay, it's lame that the character string "snake" gets blocked, but if they blocked your gamer tag for the reason I think they did, that's super-lame. I'm glad they unblocked it.

Our wings are not tired

At least I can understand why they blocked one of my band names. Long live Timeshare Vagina.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I wonder if they'd let Toad the Wet Sprocket through.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Laga-- Try Raving Rabid Rabbids 2. It's snarky and fun to play. You cna get used versions in eBay for not too much money.

move out and draw fire

Yeah, I think it was blocked for "womb" too...lame. Esp. Since I had to battle "peanus munchers" today.

In other game news, we test-drove our rpg based on Supernatural yesterday. Worked pretty well.

Thrive to spite them

I kinda ordered a Wii. I was online, it was there...everyone else has one. Practically.

My brother has one, I talked my sweetie into buying one for his boys, everyone at work (almost) has one. I succumbed to peer pressure. And I have to get a Wii Fit. It won't end up costing me anything because we can get reimbursed for it as part of our healthy lifestyles reimbursement at work.

that's awesome! All we get is a pretty weak discount at one particular fitness center.

Thanks for the game recs, guys.

Well we're small enough that when enough people ask about something it can happen. I don't know the details I just know there was a flurry of Fit buying after that was announced.

Raq, Was this Supernatural RPG homebrew? Was it based on a particular system? Details, woman! (And if you guys have a doc or PDF of the rules, please send it to my profile addy)
