Old GamersAnyone catch the news last night and see the Old people's home that borrowed a Nintendo Wii?? I t was mean't to only be there for a couple of days but the old people got so into it they have kept it now for months and they all love playing games like tennis on it 
I thought this was great...it also shows that videogames can be for anyone and all ages young and old!!

It'll be better for them than just sitting around doing nothing and vegetating......maybe all old folks homes should be fitted with computers and games consoles by law.

It was in the paper today about the old folk playing videogames.......apparently they're all very competitive and they've started up leagues!

It said in the article that one 103 woman has thrown away her knitting and she's playing games and a 88 year old man says he's hooked on it!

As you guys know I do a lot of stuff at the local church and for a youht club, I ttok the Wii down last night and had the nippers boxing each other and Bowling. Top notch fun, The parents wanted a go as well!
It's good because you can play it for 10 minutes or two hours, if you have the right games!
Great piece of kit for the money!

Yep mate it definitely sounds the business....I'm even more convinced in getting one now
|

You should! I'm not able to afford any new games at present, but Wii sports and Wii play will do for the moment!

I saw those old people on TV, playing their Wii.
My boss didn't know if I was having a laugh when I came in the day after and asked him if he saw the old people Wii-ing on TV last night.
I got a Wii recently, and am currently developing Mario-related RSI. But it's worth it.

Why did I not think of that Wii...ing joke?? I think I'm losing my touch 
Hi Colonel K
Mario-related RSI??? Whats that?? Is that for creating your own game or levels or something????
|
ColonelK
|
LOL! no, it's Repetitive Strain Injury, caused by overplaying.
According to the saved game, I've spent 12 hours playing Super Paper Mario over the last week.

Doh!!!!  You know I looked that up Colonel K and Repetitive Strain Injury came up but I thought to myself ....oh it must be something game related or game programming related
Well moving swiftly on.... I'm glad its worth it

Speaking of Wiis, has anyone bought of the Virtual Console games?
