Me too. I've done a full classic 70s Black Sabbath line-up including:

Tony Iommii.

Man I'm good.

Gnnng. None of the Tesco's in Dundee are getting any stock. Running out of chances now, the second stage reccy missions are kicking off in an hour or so. It's kinda fun trying to track one down.

Just got Happy Wii Day! email from Nintendo, and at the bottom it says that you can purchase Wii points with VIP stars. Result!

I wonder how many Wii points 8000 stars will buy

Just had my HAPPY WII DAY email from Nintendo, kind and considerate they are.

Saw some lads playing bowling on the Wii at Game earlier. Really wanted a go, but had to go to work.

Now this could open up some interesting possibilities

That's great!

And he apparently has it working with 2 remotes now and is hoping to add velocity sensing into the next version.

You can use the wiimote with a pc? do you need extra hardware or anything - or is the sensor strip usb or sommat?

Looks like a bluetooth dongle and a bit of software is all you need.

Looks like it needs some kind of Bluetooth adapter?

Post some photos at MiiPlaza. When I get a Wii, I'm definitely doing Sabbath, so I'll need to see how others are doing.

For some weird reason, everyone's making Mii's of Hitler. What's with that? And not too many Big Lebowski's out there, either.

If you have loads of buddies that frequently visits, I'd go for rayman. But monkey ball seems like the better single-player game.

I still have a final exam coming up as well as a group project that needs finishing by next tuesday, so I really shouldn't even touch my Wii until wednesday.

How many here believe I'll be able to keep away from it four days?

...me neither

Yeah as long as your PC does Bluetooth you're good to go. All the software is available on that youtube link.

And now they have full pointer control using IR too
