[...] sarah wrote an interesting post today on Wiimbledon Tennis With Nintendo Wii. Here’s a quick excerpt: [...]
I must be getting old.
I would rather go to Dave and Busters and play their games (once a year), then invest in a WII and screw with hooking it up and dealing with buying separate games and controls and add-on peripherals, only to find out that I used the system 4 times (once every few months) and then it’s obsolete.
Here’s a radical thought… go to a Tennis Court!
Hey Sarah, I am just catching up on my pop17 videos… I saw a few episodes you went by Sarah Austin. Will you be publicly going by Austin now?
Also, I didn’t understand… Was Austin your birth name, and Myers your stage name? Or was there a life-event (marriage / divorce / whatever) that caused you to change? I don’t mean to be nosy, I am just curious if I should look for you as Austin from now on, or Myers.
Or just tell me to shut up, and delete this comment.
Hey Chris, I didn’t get married and my birth name is Sarah Austin. :-)
Hahaha
I want a Wii.

Scott, I did get to play a little.
J. Rabbitte, It was fun. There are some classic old games at Barcade. Check out the link.
