Flamed

I went to game today with TJ. Seats were awesome-behind the bench. Tomorrow against the Hurricanes we'll be behind the Senators bench!

Luigi Swag

Nintendo Land!

Well it was late in the visit but a copy of Nintento Land was found and snagged - and it came with swag: a Luigi WiiMote!!!  Now I am compelled to get a matching Mario WiiMore - damn it - just can't have one without the other!  It will be a while before the set is complete though, I'm not going to get it any time soon.

Nintendo Land is a hoot.  Your cousins liked the Luigi's Ghost Hunter game the most but I was partial to the Mario Chase game.  Pikman Adventure was a bust and Animal Crossing took too much teamwork than we were prepared to offer :)   We didn't get a chance to try every games and because they leave tomorrow they might not get to until the summer - they are coming to Ottawa in the summer as usual.

Turns out I am invited to the Calgary Flames game tomorrow - that's going to be three Ottawa Senators home games in a row that I get to attend!   Check out your aunt Kristine's facebook page for pics of the Black Hawks game we attended Friday.

Love, Dad.

Rabbids Land

Effort was made to find a copy of Nintendo Land for the Wii U so count yourself lucky you have one. Apparently because it was a "launch" title and for the most part bundled with the Wii U,  its recently challenging to find in stores.  Alas, a party game was paramount and it would not suffice nor advisable to return from the quest empty handed lest be faced with a week of the incessant twiddling of the stubbier digits. Faced with the choice between possible substitutes: Wii U Party and Rabbids Land, it was the latter that won out based on past humourous experiences with Ravin Rabiids 1 & 2.  

Armed with the requisite fun times enabler Emily and Reilly were the constants, the anchors, the ones around which Rabbid Land revolved.  Also participating in the mayhem, contributing with centripetal force were Aunt Kathie, Gramma, Jimmy, Bryan and of course myself: Uncle Awesome a.k.a. Awesome-O.   

Rabbids Land delivered - it was rude, it was crude,  there was vomiting, posterior scratching and public urinations - it was a blast.

I have not played Nintendo Land but I think all who participated today would give Rabbids Land a thumbs up - except maybe Gramma because she sucked at it!  I look forward to playing with you.

The time between Rabbid Lands forays was filled with many, many, many matches of WWE All-stars starring Jimmy Judd as John Cena.  He opened up a can of whoop ass on anyone who dared to challenge him.
