I'm thinking I may have to get this Wii, and I don't usually get new video game stuff.

And that's the point. Nintendo is branching out to embrace everyone. Old school gamers, new ones, and people who are tired of the same old games. If they bring in a rusy gay nerd, they're becoming more successful.

Assuming you mean rusty, I take offense. I've owned every (non-handheld) Nintendo console since the SNES. (That may be only three, but still.) I just haven't had time to play cause of school.

Then you're the only one who apparently doesn't have time. Plenty of other nerds MAKE the time. Just ask Evan.
