Wilco/Flip Flop Girl and Mr. W/I finally traded Wii codes, so we’re now in each others’ Wii address books as “friends.” That means we can send Mii characters to each other. I was the first to send the Miis of Mr. W and myself over to them, which I did this past Saturday night. What else was I to do when the only other person in the house (Mr. W) has a 9pm bedtime? I was so bored that I started exploring the Mii Channel for the first time, and made up 2 additional Miis, Buffy and Spike. I considered doing an Angel Mii, but didn’t want it to become a love triangle mess between the 3 of them again. Haha. I sent the Buffy Mii and Spike Mii over to Mike and Christi as well. The resemblances were such that Mike didn’t even know who they were at first. =P
And then I found that I could write Memos as different Miis to display on the letters screen. They appear like a little rectangular text box with the Mii’s picture on the upper left corner. So Snoopy’s memo said “Arf. Signed, the Red Baron.” Will Smith’s memo said “What up, Big Willy Style’s in da house! Get jiggy wit it, y’all!” And then on Sunday morning, I waited for Mr.W to turn on the Wii and discover that there was new mail.
Well, Mr. W totally freaked out. He stared at the messages and kept saying over and over that the Miis aren’t supposed to do that. I just played dumb. “They’re not? I think it’s cute!”
Frustrated that I wasn’t understanding the gravity of the horror of this situation, he said, “No! They’re not supposd to be INTERACTIVE.” He totally thought someone hacked into his system. And then he got to the memo from my Mii that said, “Being up all by mysmurf isn’t very smurfy.”
And then he hit me. Haha!
who are buffy and spike? i don’t let our miis intermingle with strangers. and if i hear a peep about vampire slaying, those babies are definitely getting the boot!
I wish I was into video games! I kinnda just want to get one to see what the fuss is about, but it will probably just sit in the box until Jay or a guest pulls it out. Have fun in Wii land!
flip flop girl – strict Mii mom! I didn’t know there were hidden clauses to who our Miis get to intermiingle with. I’m definitely sending our kids out to Auntie Flip Flop for summer vacays. =)
busykitty – Or you can create your Mii on Mr. W’s console.
