Finally some time for another entry. Last Saturday night I waited 9 hours for the midnight launch of the Nintendo Wii. It was awesome since I met some cool people and nabbed some great swag. I picked up a Wii and a extra controller. Sadly I don't have a T.V so I haven't opened it yet. My room-mate however does have a T.V and a Wii so I've been playing it on his equipment.

As for my Wii, it's on eBay. I'll get another one when I head back to NYC for Christmas. It shouldn't be so hard to get considering an expected 4 million units to be in stores. This week was only 3 days with Thanksgiving off and Friday off so I've had a lot of time to relax and take a break from all the school work. I rented Call of Duty 3 for the Wii and I normally hate WW2 shooters and shooters in general for consoles. I must say though, I am surprised. COD3 is an awesome game for the Wii. Everything just feels right, the controls are awesome and the immersion is amazing. Nothing is more satisfying than jabbing your Wii-mote forward and having your on screen character doing the same thing knocking out a enemy with the butt of the gun. It's awesome.

Wednesday night, me and my room-mates headed down to EBGames and I picked up a DS Lite. Only 4 days after blowing most of my money on the Wii, I get a DS Lite. I'm officially broke. With my new DS I also got Brain Age, I guess it's something to do when I need to pass time.

School is still going along just as usual. Only a few more weeks to finals and then a much needed break. I went with a friend of my mom who lives around here for a min-thanksgiving thing. It was boring and I didn't understand, well hardly understood, a word anyone was saying. There was food and it didn't come out of a microwave, that's all I cared.

If I find time, I will add more entries. One more thing to note, I was offered a chance to get out of my game team, whose producer I hate, but something in me made me decline. I don't know why, but I did. So since it is my own choice, I am stuck with that idiot willingly. Shit happens in life I guess. I need to work more on my math, if I slip up just a tiny bit, I will fail. I can't take that risk because it is essentially going to decide if I get to relax for the 4 month summer or I get to work my ass off again. I think I need the break.
