is not good for my Wii golf putting im finding out....man....i cant get the damn ball to NOT bounce off the hole....so gyped....
you need to just gently "tap" the ball Arc. I find a flick of the wrist as if you're lobbing a ping pong ball works best. :P
wii Golf is some of the most fun I've ever had.
'Wii' is such an unfortunate name.
I feel out of place-Ive never had the Q yet...
I've played the Wii at nas's house a little.
so far I've deduced that there is, in fact, zero correlation between what my hands are doing and what my character is doing.
Except if you're playing Zelda. Yarr.

I've been playing Zelda on my DS and I have to say the part that I got stuck on the longest is when I had to blow out the candles. I was looking for some kind of flute or something that I could use to put the candles out. Finally got a new computer and read the walk through for that part. After spending about 2 hours messing around and chopping at the candle with my sword, I litterally had to blow on the DS and the Mic recorded it and blew out the candle. WFT Mate :D
LOL...thats awesome....
i remember back when metal gear solid for the PS1 came out...and one boss made you put down your controller and would move it with his "mind", and made you swap controller spots so he couldnt predict your moves hehehe....i love video game developer ingenuity....
for Wii golf...im at pro status and im usually good at putting...my driving is respectable...sometimes i overcompensate the slope of the land which really sucks....then there are the times where i want to hit it 2 bars worth of power and end up hitting it one worth hehehe
It's all about finesse, and standing at the appropriate distance.
WarriorWare games really make you figure that out in a hurry, or get you so frustrated you quit >:(

P.S. pro bowling ftw!
I love Wii. It's different from the other consoles- it's not "oooh we have pretty graphics and you can play dvds and play games with other people online, so buy our console." It was "hey, look at this new way we found to play games, it's fun!" I also like that there are so many fun, interactive multiplayer games (Carnival, Playground, Wii Sports, etc.).
I can't wait until Super Smash Brothers comes out for Wii. Then I might have a chance at beating Panzer at it... He almost always beats me at the gamecube version.
And Twilight Princess is awesome!
yeah..it is a LOT of fun...i think were going to buy super swing golf soon and maybe that trauma surgeon game....
weve been playing a game called "My Word Coach" too that big book nerds like my wife and play...i can honestly say ive picked up a crapload of new words playing that game hehehe
If you want to go the "Holy #$%^, this is really intense" route, then check out Call of Duty 3.
Yeah, CoD 4 came out, I haven't played it yet (is it even out for the wii?) but CoD 3 for the wii is one of the craziest FPSes i've ever played, and I started back in the Doom days.

ahhh.....time to play wow....i have my coffee...got my assorted munchies ready to go...sip my coffee an.....330 people ahead of me? what?
we need a solution to this....i think we take our tip from the greatest empire ever (no no...not rome...sheesh)....england! we have a problem: too many damn people on our server. How do we solve this?
Well...brittain took all of its rubbish...and sent it away! australia, asia, space - who cares! poof - brittain took its exiles and shipped them out of sight and out of mind...
with that thought in mind we need to take all the gold spammers, loot ninjas, characters starting with the prefix "nix", and melee hunters and make a mandatory exile to someplace horrible...like the illidan server or something....
EDIT: Minesweeper? Im playing minesweeper....dear god....

Rome conquered England, starting in the transition from Republic to Empire.
yeah...i know hehehe.....fun to belittle the romans though :P
Rawr! :leglamp:
one of my favorite "get ya going" shakespeare's Brittain pride passages:
QuoteIf we are mark'd to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian.'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day.'
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
lets face it....NO word should have this many consecutive vowels in it...."q-u-e-u-e"....what other word has a 4:1 ratio of vowels to consonents?!?
there's several others, but one of them is "cooey (http://dictionary.die.net/within%20cooey)"
