1. And here I thought it would be "Damien."

2. That's THEIR name for it. I call it "White Elephant".

Every demo I've seen of this thing leaves me asking, "Why would you want to do that?"

Seeing that girl jumping and hitting those balls gets me tired just LOOKING.

I have trouble holding my arms up for more than 5 minutes, let alone pretending I'm holding a steering wheel.

And am I the only one who just doesn't believe this thing can work without noticeable LAG? I mean, half-second lag? Echo (echo) lag?

Looking at every demo I've seen - the ball game, the wall painting demo - every one has had a noticeable disconnect between the player and the action.

I hear a big fat THUD coming...

3. I don't even like the Wii
