Posted in: Personal, Technology | , ,

For Christmas, Joy bought me a Wii. Being one of the best gifts you can get this year, I was excited to start building a game collection and finding other additional things to go along with it. I ordered my copy of New Super Mario Bros. (which I’m expecting in the mail by Monday), an additional off-brand Wiimote, and a neat charging station with rechargeable batteries for the Wiimote.

After spending a while trying to actually find the name of the show (I guess it comes from the ALPHA-ONE program), it was just a quick Youtube search away. Checkout the video for Mr. M (pictured to the right) on Youtube.
