Several actions require special Wii movements. It happens now and then that you have to face off in hand to hand combat with a german soldier this requires you the thrust your remote and nunchuk backwards and forward to counteract the moves of the enemy. Another part that using special Wii moves is planting Bombs where you have to place the charge and pull out the pin. Driving a car requires you to treat the nunchuck and the remote as if they were part of a steering wheel.

The story itself is pretty sweet also, from the very first moment you get thrown in one of the bloodiest battles you can imagine. Everywhere people are dying and you are just running trying to conquer the checkpoints. It is somewhat of an adjustment with the Wii’s unique way of controlling but you quickly addapt.

The biggest thing this game lacks however is multiplayer, there isn’t even a splitscreen multiplayer which is quite the disadvantage compared to the same game on other platforms. But in the end, this has been a very good buy.

About time

So during lunch break I decided to go and pick up the console, but when I wanted to pay with my card it was refused. Immediatelly panic broke lose, so I rushed to the bank where it turns out my card was replaced with a newer one and had been waiting there for like a month or so (gee, thanks for notifying me…).

With the new card in my pocket I once more rushed to the store (it was near closing time) and made it there on time. I paid and went home with a brand new Nintendo Wii which I didn’t expect to get until next week.

And once I got home I unpacked the Wii and reacted like this !

Nah, just kidding. I ate my meal unpacked the Wii and configured it for my wireless lan at home. After which two updates were instantly downloaded and installed. Finally I had about 25 minutes left for some Wii Sports Tennis.

I only won one set…(hey it’s my first time!)

It’s a shame I had to go back to work, I would have loved to go on gaming. I can only hope that the parents will release the tv from their cluthes later during the evening.

So these past few days I have been checking out the C++ syntax. Due to past experiences with several languages I’ve gotten a pretty decent idea of what they are talking about. I’m looking forward to learning more about this programming language. If anyone has got some pretty decent articles concerning this language please send them to me, I can always use decent reference material.

I really haven’t got enough experience yet to call it a better language then the other ones I’ve got to know over the years:

• C#
• Visual Basic 6 / .net
• Java
• Pascal (the shame)
• Basic (a long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away)

Yet I am confident that it is truely a very powerful program language.

In other news, tonight at 6 pm local time apple will introduce a sh*tload of new products upon the world and will go into deeper detail about the features of the new leopard Macos. I’m very curious about the OS itself, I couldn’t care less about the other rumorred gadgets (itv, iphone, ibrator,…).

And I am STILL waiting for my Wii! Come on Nintendo, what’s keeping you?
