Its the holidays. The gaming industry hasn't caught up to the fact that we've all grown up now and can buy our own games and don't have to wait for mom and dad to buy us stuff at Christmas. The demographic is shifting and the industry is just slow to shift with it.

But I so feel the pain. I hope some developers start busting the mold and spread out the gaming love throughout the year.

White Mage chocobo for me!

I had my Wii pre-ordered from Toys R Us, so didn't camp this morning. But in gathering my varied pre-orders, I had to hit EB, Toys R Us, and Best Buy. ALL were saying they were sold out of the Wii right after opening. I can't tell you how many times I heard "You didn't have to camp to preorder, you'll get one at launch no problem!" from various people/sources. Now I'm feeling pretty smug >=)

Why must reporters always pick the person who gives the worst representation of whatever event they're covering?

I get minorly insulted at stuff like this. Not crazy feminist insulted, but I don't think I'm THAT alone in this demographic!

I'm a hardcore gamer-chick. I don't suck at games and I enjoy a wide variety of titles. I've owned nearly every console on the market. My favorite console of all time is the SNES followed closely by the original PlayStation. I'm married, work as a bank teller, and will probably be fighting my future children for more game-time. There's more out there like me, aren't there?

But all that aside, I'm extremely excited about getting my Wii on Sunday.
