December 8th, 2006 was the Nintendo
Wii's European launch date. Three Helsinki Lab
members were infected that day and two more soon
followed. Kamil's Wii was immediately tested in
the lab, and frankly, productivity just might have
taken a hit. Wii is very infectious. Good thing it
was a Friday.
Today there are now at
least eight people working in or directly adjacent
to the Helsinki Lab that have become infected by
Wii. No telling just how many infections exist
within the entire building. There's even a
dedicated Wii in the Response Lab
itself…
Here's some
video evidence
of what this thing does to people.
Careful
review of the Wii's log files reveal that there
are now several Tennis "Pros" and that the Wii is
powered up several times a week following the
Helsinki shift. It seems that we're firmly in its
grip. But at least we're able to contain it to the
end-of-the-day.
So we might as well make the best of
it! If you're a game developer and want some beta
testers – contact us via the Weblog's e-mail
address. Tennis. We want more Tennis especially.
And we're quite willing to assist accessory makers
as well. Cheers!
