I would like to inform Gotwoot that....

I just won a Wii tonight, I am completely and utterly happy. I wasn't sure if I would get it but I did. They had a competition with the bungee-run thing where you run with the cord attached to you and try to stick a marker further than the other person. Well, Apparently I was the best at it there, and got my self a free Wii, second controller and nun-chuck, and the Sonic game for the Wii. I couldn't believe it..... anyway... Pictures.

So that's how they settle things in Alabama is it?

Just kidding. Congratulations. Pretty sweet prize. Did you know what you were pulling for when you entered the contest?

You're telling me, there's a difference between a Wii and a Wii that's free. Damn it!

Congrats. I remember winning a console many years ago in a draw, when we were still using NES carts. That thing barely worked so I took it apart just to see how the inside of a 8 bit console looked like.

The problem with a free console can be that since you didn't spend money buying it, you don't acutally feel the need to play it as much as you would. I got my PS2 free with my mobile, and never played with it as much as I did with my old consoles.

It depends on whether or not you cared to have it in the first place. I've been planning to buy a Wii for a few months now, just couldn't find any and had PC games to entertain me instead. If I won one tomorrow, I'd play it until the controllers broke.

Some people need that sense of accomplishment when buying something with your hard-earned cash. I'm that way, but will gladly accept a freebie now and then.

Yeah, We knew that the prize was a Wii when we entered it, there were only about 10 of us that had a chance in it. I got very lucky on how the brackets were set up. my only challenge was the last round.

I am already finding that true, as much as I love playing it I don't feel the utter need to play for hours on end. I love Wii bowling!

Congrats.
Now, if you didn't already do it, update your Wii.
Get yourself some games off the Virtual Consoles. Download the Everybody vote channel, the Internet Channel, and some other crap you won't even use!

I have not been able to get it on the internet yet since I bricked my router. I will do all that once I can get a connection to a network around here.
