Video games never “clicked” for me, either (oh, I’ve played Tetris a few times, so I’m up to date and hip). I see stuff advertized (usually depictions of cartoon game characters carrying huge, ergonomically impossible weapons) and I just shrug and say, “whatever.” I guess it is a generational thing. People ten years younger than me see virtual reality as an everyday thing and they are “connected” to something all the time. I certainly use technology but there are times (most of the time) I want to be dis-connected. If this new Wii thing has a practical use, great. But I think I am too old. If I went into a store and said, “I wanna Wii,” they would take one look at me and direct me to the restroom. Just as well. I am just able to manage real reality without the added burden of a virtual reality.
You’d be surprised.
I saw a TV report last week of retirement homes with Wii’s and the folks having a ball.
I don’t own one but might get one. The bowling game is fun.
The hand control lets you manipulate the ball just like the real thing. Slow, fast, hook, etc.
