Wii’s Back — Wheeee!
That’s right, the Wii arrived back, safe and sound. Turns out my “main circuit board” needed replacing. I’m unsure as to what was specifically wrong, but the solution was really the best I could have hoped for. All my Miis and saved games were preserved, which is excellent. The only downside is that UPS had…

Wii-less
Curse and blast! Above is the screen that I am now resigned to staring at each day until my Wii returns from the Nintendo service depot.

Bloody Brilliant!
Wii Fit: “No, honey, it’s not about Zelda, it’s a workout program! I swear I’ll lose my beer gut!” Now you just have to find one of the stupid units (and it’s not like Nintendo is going to be helping you out any. Jerks.). ADDENDUM: “No, honey, I have absolutely no interest in Super Mario…
