Over the weekend I treated myself to 2 new Wii games. The first was the eagerly anticipated “Mario Kart”, the second was a game called “Wii Play”.
With “Wii Play”, you get an extra controller – which is actually the main reason I got it. I thought it would be a good idea to get one of these, so Holly and myself can play each other.
We get back and pop in the “Wii Play” disc and play the various games. As we progress through them all, Holly soon starts to sulk.
"You keep beating me!" she says.
"Well, sorry, but that's the whole point isn't it?"
"Yeah, but you're not giving me a chance!"
"But... this is my first time playing it too"
"Yeah, well, you're co-ordination is better than mine"
The voice in my mind agrees with what she is saying and in fear of upsetting her, I cave in and begin to give her a chance. After about 10 minutes she says "This isn't fun any more, you're just letting me win."
