[X] My Assistant

I took the other approach. I turned my wife into a girl geek (Mwahahahahaha!!!). I have enough "toys" in the house to appease both of use though. So if she wants to play the Wii I can still play on the computer, the PS3, or go through my many RPG books. It's a perfect geek marriage.

My wife is also of the "convert" type, although we still don't have Diablo II anywhere in the house because of her. She was also big on KOTOR: The Sith Lords, which was a lot of fun. I enjoyed it even more because once she beat the game, she was done with it. It was no longer of use to her. I like that kind of cut throat gaming in a woman.

She also writes better SR games than I do.

I found my wife in high school and we explored our personal geekdom together. We found we had way too much in common to get the other go. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

As for the Wii, yeah I bought it when it first came out (being an irredeemable Nintendophile) and I've really enjoyed it. My wife has also got a kick out of it, even playing games she would typically avoid on other consoles. Our big one right now is Call of Duty: World at War (one of those games she would leave the room for if it were on a "less accessible" console)...she's been playing a ton of matches online and for someone who had never played a FPS before, she is rapidly becoming a crack shot...

And the virtual console stuff is awesome. There's still a few titles I'm eager to see them release (currently hooked on Ogre Battle), but I've been playing so much SNES lately, I can wait a little longer before I acquire anything else...

Wife is not much of a gamer so imagine my suprised shock when one day she calls me and says she went a little crazy at the local Best Buy. She comes home with a Wii, Wii Fit, Several Wii games and accessories including Mario Kart and an extra Wii Wheel. I was stunned into silence and have rediscovered her competitive streak on Wii fit. She has knocked me off the top 10 lists of several of the balance games over and over. I have been hooked myself on Mario Kart, Mario Galaxy, Wii Fit, Super Smash Bros Brawl, and Raymans Raving Rabbids. I need more time to play everything I want to play durnit!

Lemme aks - our Wii Fit disc got scratched to hell. Is it possible to download a ROM and burn a new copy? We have all of the hardware. Any other ideas on how to get a new copy?

Contact Nintendo's Service. Even if you've had it for more than 90 days, they should be able to work out something with you.

This is why it's a good reason to register your games with Nintendo, because when you do, they extend your warranty by another ninety days (IIRC).

I haven't experienced Wii-widow(er) Syndrome first hand, but I know others who have.

My wife's current addiction is Starcraft. I foolishly bought the download, thinking it might be fun to play the story mode again. She spent last Saturday playing it with our 5 year old. She even went so far as to go over to her dad's to get an extra copy so she could play with our son.

Dude that's awesome, she's teaching your kids right and educating a new gaming generation! This type of teaching is to be encouraged (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rotfl.gif)
