Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I desperately want to play Wii MarioKart, but alas, I have no Wii. So sad!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Come to my house!

Or, if that seems impractical, go to Scola's house.

I too have that problem, Jess. I miss having a console in the house.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I started games with Sean, Raq and Kristin. I'm happy to go just about whatever speed works for you on the games, so please don't feel rushed.

I have no Wiis to borrow. Seriously, I think that there are about 10-20 in my whole area, and I don't know any of their owners. Although...I think that the public library might have one for their game nights. I might have to go to the next one that's open to adults.

Our wings are not tired

I've got a Wii, Xbox360, PS2, PSP, DS, and an Xbox. Sadly I rarely find time to play with any of them.

I'm really salivating over the upcoming Starcraft 2 though. I lost huge chunks of time in grad school to Warcraft II and Starcraft.

I think we have all those. Sadly I have no desire to play any of them.

libkitty, would you like to start a game with me? I enjoy all versions of scrabble I run across. I'm a huge literati fiend on Yahoo.

Somehow, after your hardware litany, this is... unsurprising.
