Dealing with Addiction
No mom, I am not going to rehab.
I am talking about Erin’s new found addition to Mario Galaxy. We have had the Wii for about six months now but really hadn’t played it that it much. That all changed for two reasons. One is the kids visit, of course. The other is that we purchased Mario Galaxy. Erin has been playing almost every free moment since. It is quite a riot to watch as she yells things like “Come on Mario!” at the TV. I think the kids think she may have lost it.
In other Wii news, we purchased Mario and Sonic at the Olympics. Our friends Tom and Dale had given it good reviews and we were looking for something with four player at the same time functionality. Some of the events are pretty fun but much of it comes down to shaking wimote and nunchuk as fast as possible. It gets tiring at times but is a good addition to Wii sports. I am unsure anything will supplant bowling as the game of choice. Especially now that Erin has attained ‘Pro’ status.
How many stars do you have, Erin? I got about 60 before I turned it over to my 13 y/o brother… who now has over 100… sigh…
Archie - I only have three stars so far and have just recently made it to my second galaxy! I think Mike is exaggerating when he says that I’m “addicted”, although I do like to play.
Do you have any tips for me? I’m stuck trying to fly right now as a honey bee and I can’t get over the wall!
Erin - Amy is also very addicted to Mario Galaxy. I never get to use the Wii unless the kids let me play with them every now and then. ;(
Mario Olympics can be quite frustrating. Mastering the triple jump led me to drinking!
