Wii Tournament

Yesterday was a really good day! Things are beginning to slow down a lot at work and things seem to be falling into place. My boss decided to have a little impromptu grill out at the beach after work last night. As always the food was great and we all had a great time relaxing, cutting up, and just having a good time in general.
After the grill out was over and all the extra food was packed up a couple us headed to a co-worker's house for a Wii tournament. For those who don't know, the Wii is quite possibly the best gaming system of all time. The Wii is the latest release from Nintendo. The Wii system is very interactive and the game is sensitive to the players hand movements.
Our tournament started out with a round of Wii bowling that I finished 3rd in after dominating that game last summer during camp. Next up was Wii tennis. I split my two matches going 1-1. I lost my first match 3-0 and then won the second 3-2. Then we decided to play a game that none of us had ever played. We decided to play "Trauma Center: New Blood". This game was absolutely amazing!

The premise of this game is simply this: you are a surgical doctor dealing with everything from a Grizzly Bear attack, to tumor removal, and then what we ended up having to stop at; replacing a pacemaker of 5 year old girl. This game was soo intense! There is a pretty steep learning curve and it requires you to remember procedures from early on in the game. While we were playing there was constant screaming of "Vitals!" Vitals! Vitals" "I got it! I got it!", sweaty palms, increased heart rates, and huge sighs of relief when we completed each procedure. The pacemaker surgery however was too much for all of us to handle. After about 5 attempts at it unsuccessfully we decided to walk away.
