The Wii is definitely a niche machine. Not sure why anyone technical enough to want to stream movies wouldn't also want it in 1080p. Not a huge selling point for the Wii IMO.

That being said, the Wii is definitely a fun thing to have at parties because the women like it as much as the men, and it's a social activity. It's not a gamer machine like the PS3 or the 360.

Exactly, the Wii is a social video game, and by social I mean actually interacting with REAL people. NOT talking poo on a headset to some geek in china.

That's why all the console fanboys hate the Wii, they fear what they don't understand.

Streaming Netflix is not a good value IMO. I had it for months and the best movie we ever found was an old Matthau/Lemon flick. ugh

The Wii and it's unending barrage of mini-game shovelware has hurt the Wii. When the majority of your consumer base couldn't tell you the difference between Kratos or Master Chief (or aren't allowed to play their games) you get levels of shovelware that rival the days of the Atari 2600.

The only thing I fear about the Wii is that the other console manufactures are designing their own motion controllers. This could open them up to the same shovelware proliferation the Wii experience provides.

Yes I own a Wii, and it barely gets used. This thing just feels like the modern day power glove.

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
