rational geekery

Who's a spoilt little tyger?

Yes. Am very spoilt. Enjoy your days off dude. Hope you and Ms. Meadows got all you wanted.

So, how come you get this funky piece of equipment and I have to make do with a crappy pair of socks?

'Tis unfair.

Were you a good Duckie?

Evidently not.

But tell me. Will Mrs Tyger really tolerate that piece of consumer fetishism in your house?

The Wii is decidedly classed as excercise, not consumer fetishism. So says the http://gonintendo.com/?p=10962" rel="nofollow">British Chiropractic Association anyway.

my brother got one of these, they are good fun, but definitely for the older gamer, the concentration required is quite something, shaky hands are not good when playing red steel!

How did you find Red Steel?

Games are thin on the ground. I picked up Zelda (a huge fan of the series) and Call of Duty 3 (finished the first two), and they're good.
