Groups and Wii

As I stood in line surrounded by my group of friends with disco lights blaring around me. I get a sudden sense of bewilderment I would’ve had if I were still the 10-year-old boy who lived in Taiwan. I guess, back then, I’d never have imagined to be surrounded by Taiwanese who can only speak French or pale skinned barbarians with golden manes and their exquisite tall nosed counterparts with gray bluish eyes.

Yes indeed, that would’ve been frightening and uncomfortable if I never left the place I was born. Truth is, I think we are all as startled to be mashed together. After the initial awkward moment of communication, we settled down to English as the common language.

This is my first attempt at trying to bring my different social circles together. Since most of us play games at some time in our lives, I thought a gaming convention like Arcadia could act as a catalyst to ease the transition. I don’t know what to expect, or how to help the mingling process, so I resolved to just let everything be as I did in other situations. I’ve learned that often, the hardest path, and often the right one, is to let everything be without interfering. Human interactions are hard to control.

So with that in mind, I decided to brush away the disappointments of the day, which included the rain, heavy traffic and typical chick behaviors of being half an hour late, to focus on the star of the show: Nintendo Wii.

You see, I’ve been wondering about my investment in Nintendo Wii for a while, because I believe the idea will revolutionize gaming. However, I can never be sure until I tryout the service/product myself. If you are not a gamer, I suggest you skip the rest of this post.
