I catagorize my blogs as I post them. There are at least 10 different listings; everything from Videogames to Politics to Rants.
I chose to list today's entry under: WTF.
As many of you probably have heard, Nintendo unleasted their new system's real name. It is Wii.
Personally, I could've done better. If it was me, I would have named the console, Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii (as in hee). Because that's the noise I sometimes make when a game pisses me off I bad I want to spit nails.
On to more important things, however:
If Wii can change everything, can it please change its name to something not so stupid?
Oh! And if I have two Wii (or is that wiis?) does that mean I have a Wii Wii.
...sorry, couldn't help myself.

Which immidiately makes me say "Huh?"
I understand the play on words and all, but what exactly are they trying to suggest here? Say Wa? Where the hell is Washington? Certainly, most people reading anything that says "Say Wa?" are going to think it means someone is confused. And probably have no idea that WA is the postal code for Washington state.
What is even more baffling is that these ideas Wii and Say Wa...made it through the red tape.

Sad...
Posted by: Zoso at April 28, 2006 10:28 AMThe word-filter on my favorite forum has replaced "Wii" with "Why." I second this decision with burning vigor.

Posted by: Zoso at April 28, 2006 09:17 PMAaaah, Nintendo. You did so well with SNES and N64. I really hope this is a good console. As much as I love Nintendo and liked the Gamecube... not as good as it used to be. ;___;
With a name like Wii, it'd better be good!
