I was hanging out at a friends the other day blazing some marijuana. Anyways, one of the people in the circle stated that the Wii was the biggest piece of shit / worst system ever. I then jumped in but instead of debating with that loser I started talking to my friend's brother that was there. I explained how it expanded the market, has sold far more systems than PS3 and 360, far more reliable system, etc.... Basically, I didn't even bother debating with a person with such a close minded view on Nintendo.

You guys got high and discussed video game politics?   And one guy was hateful towards the Wii?  Man, I haven't smoked marijuana since 1997 (if you don't count 2008) and all I wanted to talk about was how high I was and giggle about shit.  Marijuana sure has changed since my day.

Should have heard me and my friend yesterday.  We were going into deep conversation mainly about science and ethics.  How ethics has held scientific research back mainly talking about how the Nazis were able to discover so much so quickly by using unethical research methods.  Anyways, I'll stop here since I am getting off topic.

Let us think about our Wiis more now.  My Wii is white.  What color is your Wii?

You do mean my "Wii", right? 

Anyhoo, I'm not even sure what the topic of this thread is aside from the fact that Amp sucks at Wii bowling.  I think this is more of an "anything goes" thread.  And speaking of "anything goes", I'm delirious from a lack of sleep....and I gotta work tonight.

*goes to sleep*

Yeah bowling is fun, but as you said pretty inaccurate.
Hated it so much when I was playing it with two of my friends and they just twisted their wrists while I was performing real bowling moves and they were getting one strike after the other.

Personally I like Kinect Sports' bowling better but I haven't tried Resorts version yet because nobody I know owns that game...

It's the Wii owners who are to blame.  They aren't interested in real games.  If they were, they would have bought up millions of copies of that masterpiece Madworld.  I know what you're saying.  You're asking yourself if that's the game that can be completed by a skilled gamer a little over three hours?  My answer to that would be yes, but quality is much more important than quantity.

Yes, you are one of the people who are to blame. Here's a blast from the past, from VGC's MadWorld review. I thought naznatips was way too harsh on the game, giving it only a score of 8.7, so I posted this comment:

This game should have gotten a 9.5 minimum to raise awareness for hardcore games on the Wii.

To which you replied in your typical negative fashion:

@ Rol If this game were to get a 9.5 minimum, that would mean that the game is getting approximately 3 points per hour of gameplay. I haven't played Madworld yet, but no game is that good.

This shows your prejudice against third party games. You wrote them off as not being good enough before you had played them, so your post above makes you look like a hypocrite.

SInce you're outting me as a hypocrite, I might as well help you out.

So you are bitter, because you were ripped off. You bought the game for $20 while it was already going for $13 or less.

It isn't Platinum Games' fault that you didn't like their game more. It's yours. You wouldn't know art, if it crawled up your ass, died and blamed Wii Fit.


...and you wouldn't know a solid FPS if it fell out of the sky, landed on your face, and wiggled.  DId you buy the Conduit or Red Steel 2?  I have since I support quality hardcore Wii ganes.

Anyways, let's try to get back on topic.  Have you ever bowled a 300 in Wii Bowling?  If so what happened?  Did your Wii upgrade to HD?

Whoa, where did that come from? No need to get rude all of a sudden.

Anyway, I never bowled a 300 in Wii Bowling. I think my best was 268.

Sorry about that.  You tend to get short with people when handhelds aren't your thing and you don't own an consoles other than the Wii.  Look at me!  I live in some whacked out fantasy land where it's still cool to play Wii Sports.

Oh.. and 299 is much better than 268.  *clears throat*

No, your 299 isn't better than my 268. You had the chance to have a perfect game and messed it up on your last throw while I never bowled more than six strikes in a row.

Your 299 is basically the Wii Bowling equivalent of this season's Packers. And before you know it, you are going to do a Discount Double-Check commercial.

Wrong!  My 299 is the equivalent of the undefeated Patriots losing in the Super Bowl because Eli Manning lucked out and threw some wounded duck that somehow got caught by some guy that I've never heard of with the back of his hand on the top of his helmet.  Man, was I unlucky!

Waves of fluttering banners fall from ceiling of the newly-conquered virtual bowling alley. Your Mii dances, the other Miis cheer for you, and when the score comes up, stars radiate from the 300 as if saying "This. This is the magic number." 

You feel great, until you notice that from that exact moment everyone in the room automatically hates you. Honestly, you were one point away from not being "consoled."

I guess you are right, although I don't think it makes much of a difference whether you are being compared to the Patriots or Packers. It sucks to be you either way.

Yep.  It sucks to be me and it sucks to be the Wii.
