Electronic Arts update.

Seems like a lot of news was dropped yesterday from developer Electronic Arts:

 - Sims 3 is delayed until early June, 2009
 - Mass Effect 2 has been announced for an early 2010 date across multiple platforms (guessing that means XBox 360, PS3, and PC)

So, it may be a week late in reporting but there are some interesting stories that are developing over at Leipzig and firming up back stateside.  Only time will tell, but there are a few interesting things to report:

Won’t you join my Mii parade?

Well, it took a little doing last night, but I finally connected my Wii Fit.  The first complaint I have is the raiser pads for thick carpet.  They DO NOT clip on easily, or stay in place once on.  That is a huge and silly design flaw.  The second issue I have is where the [...]

Wii’re here.

Finally, it’s here.  Persistence paid off.
Today at about 10:07am PST, I was able to secure myself a Wii Fit for the non-blackmarketed, eBay speculatative price of $89.95. 
I was able to leave work for 10 minutes as the store is just down the street and they open at 10:00am.  They receive shipments on Mondays and Thursdays [...]

Today, I just so happen to go to the store on my break because it is so close to my work and I didn’t [...]

Friday night I was able to play Battallion Wars 2 on my Wii for a mission which was pretty darn fun.  I actually played it twice.  The first time I got a rank of ‘C’, and then I immediately replayed it again concentrating more [...]

Personal gaming journal #1

E3: Nintendo media event – Day 2
