Circles. Then I'll probably turn those circles into eyeballs. Then I'll draw the rest of a face from there.

Around the same time World of Warcraft 2 is released.

I think I can remember a spell... what was the name... ah yes! FIREBALL!

We got our Wii disk a couple weeks ago or so, and have been using it practically every day since then. Since we don't have broadcast TV service where we live (cable isn't an option either, and we don't want to pay for satellite. We also have no cell service... but we have high-speed Internet access. Yeah, it's an odd part of the country...), it's a nice way to placate the kids when they get tired of the DVDs and videos. My wife and I are also catching up on "Lost," too. :)

It isn't 100% efficient, though. Every once in a while it has to pause in the middle of the show and load the rest of the program. I'm not sure if this is due to the Netflix service or our wireless router. The lack of closed captioning also is a slight problem (it's handy to read what the people are saying when the kids are being way too noisy, or the people are speaking with really strong accents), but that's the way Netflix is on the computer, too. In any case, it isn't quite the same experience as popping a DVD in the system and watching it that way. Takes up less clutter than a DVD, though....

So it's a bit of a trade-off over watching shows through other means. Still, it's nice to have other options!

Deathwing, from the Warcraft games.

Deathwing, from the Warcraft series! A ruthless black dragon that has had goblin technology fused into his body? What's not to love?

Instead of copying the answers, I tried to do some research. I haven't played a Pokemon game since Yellow, so I hope I win!

Sigh...

Just because someone is a Republican does not mean they are conservative (see John McCain and Megan McCain for good examples of this).

Just because someone is conservative does not mean they are a Republican (Glenn Beck, for example).

And anyone can enjoy video games regardless of political persuasion.

Do your research!

I may have said this before... but it was a while ago. One of the things that intrigued me about Fallout 3 would be the opportunity to explore the ruins of a civilization to try and figure out what happened, and just to see what the world looks like afterwards. However, Fallout 3 also has heavy emphasis on violence, gore and combat, and in my house with three little kids, it's not something I'd want to expose them to inadvertently (and, to be honest, to myself, either).

I've had my eye on Fragile Dreams for a while (back when it was still known as "Fragile"), because it seems to offer the lure and rewards of exploration, but without the gruesome aspects of Fallout 3. It's a chance to get more immersed in the story of the world, and less caught up - or distracted - by the action elements. It's certainly got appeal.

*raises hand.

I still play on a NTSC TV. Never made the conversion to analog, since I live in an area so rural we don't even get TV signals. Why bother improving something we don't even have? So yes, I play my Wii on one of those great big, heavy picture tubes still... and yes, I'm looking forward to being able to watch Netflix in all its non-HD glory.

I'll probably get one of them "new-fangled" TVs when this one gives up the ghost, but until then, why bother spending the money?

Strange, isn't it? No cell service, no TV signal... but I still have high speed wireless Internet access. And yet I don't feel like I'm missing anything....
