The playful mispelled title was just too tempting to pass up. As most of my family already knows, the Wii has officially arrived in my household. On any given day, I idle away all kinds of time that could be spent on constructive pursuits playing the Wii, the aforementioned Xbox 360, or my recently retrofitted PC.

However, over the holidays this year, I have a new appreciation for the Wii. For the first time in my life, I have seen my entire family get in line to play a game. It’s an incredible phenomenon and entirely unexpected. I had an idea of the Wii’s accessibility, but had no idea people normally not interested in videogames would step forward to give it a swing.

I’m just glad I can share the mindless time wasting with family. After all, at it’s best, that’s what spending time with family is: just having fun spending time.

Oh, and I sustained my first Wii injury. The welt is healing to a nice bruise. Hurts so good.
