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)
I brought Raving Rabbids TV Party with me to SF. I'll see if I can get people to play it on game day.
I lost three or four games of Infernal Contraption today. *shakes fist*
Is this the Supernatural RPG that Margaret Weis Productions did/are doing?
No, as far as I know that's not out yet. And while her system is OK, I'm not all that interested in paying for it, esp. since I have it as Serenity.
Basically we used the Savage Worlds rules, with optional fear rules, tweaked some of the psionic powers, and have been modding Cthulhu Now and similar for stories. The ritual magic has been the funky part to develop good rules for.
have you all seen this? it is a parody of the matt dancing video in the gaming world.
