No Wii for a While...
Posted 05-22-2008 at 10:43 AM by R1kk1
Ok, so heres the story:
My family have never been great with money, like... ever. Were not poor, but we certainly aren't rich either.
Anyway, my cousin, his names Corey (lulz if Corey reads this) and he's 11. His parents recently just got him a Wii, and he was like, over the moon, because it's his first proper console. I gave him my GBA SP, but this is like, the first one on a big screen for him.
Well, as sods law has it, the night they bought it, their house got broken into and the Wii of all things got stolen, as well as some other minor stuff that they could have easily replaced.
As I said, we've never been well of money wise, so they couldn't just go out and buy Corey another one, so he was completely heartbroken.
So, I'm giving him mine. I mean, I used it for a while now, and I had my fair taste of MKWii (and if I'm being REALLY honest with you, I preferred MK
D) He hasn't had a chance at all, all he got to play was a few games of Wii Tennis, then had to go to bed. I felt real bad for him.
I told them they can keep it for as long as they like, and they are getting it tomorrow. As they have to pay for everything else that was stolen, I don't think they'll have the money to replace the Wii any time soon, so don't expect to see me on WiFi for quite a while. I'm probably talking a few months.
That being said, I am getting a 360 soon, so you might be able to catch me on that, that way we can chat over voice too =]
So yeah, that's why I won't be online for a while. By the time I get it back, I'll probably be the worst at MKWii ever, lol.
See you guys =]

| |  Aww, R1k is a knight in shining armor  Maybe you should also form a vigilante group to catch the person or people responsible for the act. |

| |  Your my hero man. Your one of the most generous members and if I were you I would buy a X-Box 360, I sometimes regret having a wii but whatever. Life isn't about money, its about living it at it's fullest. =[ |

| |  If only the world had more people like you, it would be a much better place. Also, on a different note, what is sod's law? I've heard it a couple times, but what does it mean? |

| |  That's very generous, Rik. As everyone said before, the world would be better if we had more folks like you. Promise me this - when/if you get the wii back, you're gonna race me on MKWii. |

| |  How many people would actually give their Wii away, not many. That was the right thing to do for sure. I'm getting a 360 soon too, so when I do we should play. |

| |  Wow, that was so nice of you. |
