My 3 year old playing Wii boxing

This is my 3 year old son playing Wii boxing for the first time. He's so funny.

Yeah, we're all having a blast. I'm still getting sore from time to time though.

The soreness wears off after a few days, but the scars left from watching your father rock out to "Talk Dirty to Me" by Poision on Guitar Hero III on Wii will last a lifetime! Just ask my kids, the all pretty much left the room when I hit the guitar solo and went to my knees with the guitar just like an 80's rocker would!

Gosh that was awesome. I loved it!!! I am still laughing and smiling. You just need to follow up with the defensive mode there. He's like Taz. I love him. He's adorable. Thanks for sharing Phurst! And Wildeone... nothing brings me greater joy than seeing an adult embarrass a youth. You keep going. They think they own the world, and they may.... but we just invented it!!!!!!!!!!! They aint seen nothing. My 22 year old daughter came to me about 15 months ago and said " Man!!!!! You gotta just hear this band! They are whack up in my face!" (Yeah, that's what I thought too.) Guess who she was referring to? ACDC Gotta love it!

LOL, I played Guitar Hero III for the first time the other day. I could TOTALLY rock out playing that game, and I'm sure my kids would be embarrassed

My 6 year old daughter kicks my butt at bowling all the time....

Now that is one cute video...

When I was back in the UK, last year visiting family, I was playing my niece on a Wii, she certainly slaughtered me at most of the games, and she was only 6 ! I confess, I enjoy'd playing it so much I was sooooo tempted to get myself one when I got home - thankfully, the scarce availability of them around xmas time saved me from owning one... for now!

We bought my 77 year old mother one for Christmas. Because, all she talks about after being here is how much she enjoys Wii bowling.

We had to work last Sunday and I brought in my Wii to help pass the time. We had it set up on one of those projectors people use for PowerPoint presentations. We had it projected up on a HUGE wall. Well, needles to say, it has been requested again for tomorrow, and at least 3 of my co-workers are in the market for a Wii now.

It's addictive, I tell ya

i would love to hook up my wii to a projector....that would be awesome..

when i was in my senior year of high school, i was taking a computer class, and of course on my computer, i had a bunch of games on it, so i had a nintendo64 emulator on it with the original super smash bros. we hooked up one of the mac g4's to the projector in the classroom, hooked up a couple of keyboards and set the keys so that we wouldnt interfere with eachothres buttons.... and we played a 2hr long 99 lives match... i had beat him by like 3 k.os lol he was pissed...

...thats wat we did every time we had a sub i that class...lol

goood times. =]
