Well, thanks for the money everyone, (especially that very generous offer from the developers of Pat Sajak’s Lucky Letters Deluxe) but we don’t exactly work that way. This largely unshaven, casually wagglin’, midnight launch camping drunk Uncle of an industry needs a head check every now a

I did not play video games. In fact, I might just have been the "anti-gamer". That is until we recieved the Wii gaming system for Christmas last year. It is by far the most user friendly (not to mention family friendly) gaming system I have ever come across (and believe me with an older brother and younger brother, I have seen 'em all!).
