You call an average of 10 hours a day collecting dust, even relatively? Plus 13 games (not counting VC) isn't that much to you, when that exceeds the attach rate of almost EVERY SYSTEM EVER MADE?
Either this thread is a joke, or your standards are way to high. |
No, the OP itself isn't a joke, but the thread title was a (sarcastic) reference to all the people complaining about their Wii collecting dust because there was nothing worth playing all year, except for Zelda and another random game.
Btw, I think you are actually the first one to read the whole OP, thank you. |
I read it too. =P
I got the whole dust joke, probably because I spend too much time at GameFAQs. Anyways here's my breakdown.
November – 121:47
Lot of Twilight Princess, lot of Red Steel. Big chunks of Rayman and Wii Sports. Basically me and my sister trying everything we got. Not to mention everyone coming over the holidays always had to try it. Hilarious thing is that’s only 11 days since the Wii game out in the US on the 19th.
December – 134:23
Little more TP and RS. Lot of Downhill Jam and Trauma Center, some TG16 games. (Still haven’t beaten Bonk. =P ) Lot of Wii Sports spurts with friends. Elebits later on, and some Madden for my first time in probably forever. At Christmas, Toejam and Earl.
January – 125:05
More Trauma Center. Toejam and Earl some more. Some Red Steel and Wii Sports spurts. Lot of Elebits, more Rayman. Lot of my sister’s Wii Fitness scores. Rented FarCry Vengeance. Made it to the last boss, and just couldn’t be bothered to beat him since the game sucked so hard. More Twilight Princess later in the month. Rented Cod3. Short, but a lot of fun, got my money’s worth. Late in the Month rented Excite Truck. Bought it soon after, was my favorite Wii game through out most of the year. Rented Metal Slug Anthology, got some fun out of that. Topping off January was a lot of Wario Ware.
Feburary – 56:48
Lotta Excite Truck and Wario Ware to start the month. Lot of channel screwing around with. Bout half way through the month got Wii Play, spent some time with that. Near the end of the month I got Secret Rings, started putting some serious playtime into that.
March – 88:42
Lot of damn Secret Rings. I just refused to quit until I got every damn Gold Medal, amongst other things. Got SSX Blur, had some fun with that. Things tend to slow down around Mid-march for a while before getting back into Blur. Rented Tiger Woods, not nearly as fun as Madden 07 for me. Rent Cooking Mama late in the month, realized it sucked horribly. Rent Koroinpa at the end of March. Fun, but damn are those golds insane. Returned it, take a Plunge and buy the Godfather. Hooker beating at it’s finest.
April – 93:22
Major playtime with The Godfather in the beginning of April. Fairly light after that until Super Paper Mario. May have been playing XIII on the “Cube” through out this month, or maybe that was Feb.
May – 19:19
Made Morgan Freeman on the Mii Channel at the beginning of the month and not much else for most of the month. Rent Spider-man 3 halfway through and MoH Vanguard. Plus a lot of Pokemon playing on the DS. At the end of the Month I actually leave for Arizona to stay with my Aunt for about 6 weeks.
June – 15:58
I was visiting with my Aunt in another state for the entire month. As kind of a dual birthday present (Both our Birthdays are in June) we got her a Wii but since this was her first game system, and I was staying alone at a small room for rent, I was going to keep it with me until I left for home and I’d show her how everything works and we’d play it together so when I set it up at her house she’d already know all the in an outs.
I actually spent a lot of time playing on the Wii that month since I brought some of my games with me. Re-beat The Godfather just for kicks, XS ever Trauma Center: Second Opinion mission. Bought and beat the hell out of Scarface and Resident Evil 4.
But that was all on her Wii, mine back home is mostly my sister playing. There’s not much playtime from her, but there’s a lot of Photos I sent through the Photo channel still on the board. Reading my messages I remember my sister was playing a lot of GHII on the PS2. She finally beat the game on expert mode in June. Towards the end of month she started playing Super Paper Mario a lot.
July – 30:48
I’m finally home. With me around again, my sister has my help for Super Paper Mario. I finish up some things I didn’t finish with Scarface and RE4. I finally beat Matt the Boxing Champ and make Pro in Golf. Friend of mine lends me Mario Party 8, didn’t care for it. Lot of small play sessions as I mess around with some new Wii accessories. Finally get under par in the 9 hole course in Wii golf.
August – 25:10
Not a busy month. Rented At World’s End, realized it was terrible. Borrowed DBZ BT 2. For some reason I spent two hours on the shop channel. Must of downloaded something and forgot about it. Got Madden 08, hated it, traded it for Madden 07. Played Elite Beat Agents a lot this month. Lotta light stuff, checking the Metroid Preview Channel. Sister playing a lot of Super Star Soldier. Think this is the month my friend lent me their 360 to get updated. (No High Speed Internet at their house at the time) So I was probably screwing around with Gears of War and downloading demos. Bought Metroid Prime 3 in time for labor day weekend.
September – 110:36
Whole lotta Prime all throughout Labor Day holiday, and some more DBZ: BT2. My sister gets Strikers Charged and a starts playing it online constantly. Hell she’s still playing it. I got Mario 64, Mario World, and the orginal SMB on the VC to tune myself up a bit for when Galaxy hits. Get PoP Rival Swords, realize I don’t seem to care for Prince of Persia. Get my own 360 towards the end of the month.
October – 12:38
Was catching up on 360 titles I missed, so this almost all my sister on Strikers and other things. In between when I wasn’t hogging the TV. This was also Magic City Classic at where I work, which is a big showdown between some local College football teams, so it was crazy as hell at work. I was probably playing a lot on my DS. End of the month I buy my sister Guitar Hero III for the Wii.
Novemember – 103:01
Lot of GHIII, lot of Strikers from my sister. Me and my sister start using the PiP function on my TV so I can play the 360 and she can play the Wii at the same time. Friend of my sister’s finally gets his Wii online, they start exchanging a lot of messages. Galaxy comes out, that immediately sucks me in. Started on Zack and Wiki as well.
Dec – 48:18
Obviously not done with this month yet, but I’ve already invested an assload in Zack and Wiki until I finally found every damn treasure. Sister has been playing tons of GHIII on and offline. More Mario Galaxy, still working on the “other” 120 stars.
Grand Total – 985:55
Give or take considering minor screw-ups on my part. Didn’t quite hit 1000 hours yet between the two of us, but I spent a lot of time playing other stuff too. I only got my 360 half-way through September and I’ve already got over 9000 points. None of which are King Kong or TMNT. =P
Wonder how crazy my December will be this year when all is said and done.
