I don't smoke crack, I play Super Mario Galaxy

I have nearly 1,000 Star Bits, and that's after feeding 400 to a hungry Lumas! She needed to eat so she could transform into a new galaxy. I have 8 Stars and the spaceship the Toads are building has been completed. Where are they going to fly!? Are the going to save Princess Peach?? And why am I not allowed in the other observatory?

We bought Riley Super Mario Galaxy for Christmas and he wasted many hours playing this game last weekend. Normally we limit his video game playing, however it was our Christmas with him and I saw at as the equivalent of gorging himself on candy Halloween night. It's just something kids gotta do!

Sunday, while Roy was taking Riley home, I started my own game. Holy Shamolie. People, this game ROCKS. I am not a connisouer of video games, but I've played my share. I think the best thing about this game so far is that it's just pure fun. The graphics are great, no doubt, but so far I haven't gotten to anything that has frustrated me as much as Zelda, Twilight Princess, and it's so quick, it's easy to get hooked; like when you're reading a great book and keep telling yourself , "one more chapter... one more chapter."

Am I an addict? I don't think so. I mean, Sophie doesn't seem to mind climbing the kitchen shelves to get her own goldfish and Wendy's been great about sharing the water in her dish.

Star Bits do look like crack. If Rainbow Brite was a crack whore and developed her own brand of crack.

You do realize this is the game I'm getting once I'm done with Zelda Twilight Galaxy. Should I wait until I'm done with school for the semester??

It is addicting...but I've gotten frustrated at certain points...I think maybe it gets harder the further along you get. I limit myself to only playing when Ella is asleep, but even then I haven't played for a long time. It is truly a great game. I miss it but am too tired to play at the moment even though Ella is in bed and Jeremy is covering a game.

Sounds like a game I need to play. Then again, I need to finish Zelda. And Thrillsville. And become pro in every Wii Sport.

I just cant take it. Must. Stop. Playing.

These are precisely the reasons we haven't gotten a Wii yet (I know, GASP!) I'm not ready for the addictions that will follow. I give us a year, tops, before my family too, is full of Wii crack addicts.

I'm trapped by the game too. You might enjoy this:
