Wii in Australia thread

[Ekiushi]

I have a book mark, yet I still rely on the notification e-mail... Because otherwise I just assume that nobody has replied.

Rayman Raving Rabbits? I haven't even heard of it. I feel so uninformed.

Is anyone here looking forward to Rayman Raving Rabbits 2?

I didn't mind the first one so I might rent it first and see what its like before purchasing it.

[nkbswe5]

0_0 I doubt its a record, maybe in Australia though... depends the exact amount of hours and minutes. And by beat, you mean you caught all 350 pokemon, all lv99 and have all items I pressume
Well, I played for a week and am up to THE THIRD TOWN! So ur better than me
Welcome, BTW

 

[Ekiushi]

Here I am!

Only 41% female? Unless I read incorrectly. You know, I still feel like the guys at ... that video game shop that's name has suddenly escaped me. Damn. But anyway, those guys, look at me like I'm some kind of freak. Obviously they are unaware of the fact that girls can play video games too! Stupid people. It makes me back out of the store, unable to take the scary looks I get.

 

[nkbswe5]

Move here then, there are basically only girls in our game shops, makes me feel awkward going in :wtf:

 

[Ekiushi]

I've been thinking, maybe they think I'm a thief. I do tend to walk in, glance around, and act rather odd. But it's only because of the looks they gave me first... They started this.
