Wii Have a Problem

Note: I like writing (bitching) about the Wii because it gives me a lousy excuse to make up all of these craptacular titles involving "Wii." Aren't I a clever monkey? :p

Anyway, problems... do I have it? Or do I not? Well before I get too far ahead of myself, allow me to set the scene for this particular writing. Now I have been trying for the past 2-3 hours trying to acquire some "Wii Points" so that I may purchase a game from the fairly lackluster pickings of the "Virtual Console" and/or Wiiware selections.

However, I've been met each time with a error message saying it cannot process my credit card info at this time, please try again, blah, blah, blah. Drawn out story short, it's a no go!

Under normal circumstances, an issue such as this would hold absolutely no grounds with me. But! But considering that my apartment feels about as cool as an oven, yeah. I think you'd have a better time jabbing a slumbering grizzly with a pointy stick.

And all of this trouble to get these pricey points just so that I can try out Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King. I've read the reviews and all that and it didn't fare well in that regard. But screw it, it caught my attention and now I wanna give it a go.

But I can't! I can't throw away more money to this system (don't even get me started on the $30 goddamn internet line converter/contraption/whateverthefuckyoucallthepieceofyouknowwhat). Maybe it's a sign? A divine one maybe? Yes, yes... the God of Video Games is watching over me and I know it now.

Or maybe Nintendo is just actually having issues with their shit. Then again, I could waste an hour or more of my life trying to call their customer service/tech support peeps. Things usually turn around at that point, in which case it'll be YOUR (or in the case of this writing, my) equipment that has all the issues.

Is it really too much to ask to be able to play what might actually be a shitty game? I mean I wanna waste my money! But they won't allow it!? Am I getting some kind of intervention here or what? Do I get a group hug?

Hell no! I'll just sit in my oven/apartment and simmer on these random and off-the-wall thinkings and we'll see where that goes. Maybe I need sleep? Sleep could solve everything! But wait, no it will not because I'll still not be able to play what may very well be the crap amongst crap of games!

Grrr... forget it, I'm grouchy and that is that...
