Oh yeah, somewhere in that midst I also played Duke Nukem 3D, and I've also played through the single player HL & HL2.

But Counter-Strike:Source is still my #1 gaming love. The Wii is growing in me too, of course... but really only when I have someone else there to play with.

Haven't played BF or BF2... I can't drag myself away from CSS long enough to play it (or even bother to buy it - heh).

Ok, I think I'm figuring out all of this wii-ness....

Our wii number is 1459-6289-7917-9215.

So will our mii's just start wandering about in strange wii's?

Nope - it requires:
  • That both Wii's have each other added in the Address Book (like a mutual agreement)
  • That the Mii's in question are configured to "Travel"
The other way that Mii's will show up is if someone deliberately "sends" them to you (from the Mii Plaza), but again, that can only be done after both Wii's have each other in their respective Address Books.

Once mutually added, you can also send each other messages, like little emails. Also, there is a delay when both are added before it is recognized. Alan & I discovered that last night.

Unfortunately though, at this time you can't play live with a friend over the Internet on Wii's. However, once your Wii has a bunch of Mii's in them, the Wii will use them as players or people in the audience during some games. Also, if a friend comes over to visit, and their Mii is already on your Wii, it'll be nice that they can select to play as themselves.

Note that game statistics are not maintained on other people's Mii's though. I think the only way to do that is to transfer your Mii to your Wii-mote, and bring your Wii-mote over to your friend's house.

I really hope that they add live Internet gameplay in a future update!

It's funny, I bought Quake 4 a long time ago but I have yet to install it!

Maybe you'll be the catalyst to finally make me install the darn thing. Hehe.

I have Doom 3 too but I didn't like it. Didn't even play all the way through it.

Wrong.

Miis will goto your Mii Parade whether they are your friend or not. But for someone to send you their Mii you have to have them as your friend. (I had many Mii's attack my Wii on launch day, when I had no Wii Friend Codes in my address book.

Oops I meant Doom 3. I never play the single player games. Only online against others I bought CS and BF 2142 a long time ago and never installed those either

They may not have added you to theirs yet. I've been adding all of the ones posted, so you're in mine... and that's why I show up.

If you set them to mingle in the edit mode where you name your Mii's they will. You also have to set it to travel mode, but I don't remember where that is. I got your Mii BTW.

I have a fasicantion with seeing if I can get them I then turn them around and sell them for 0 profit to friends. They are very rare these days and I have gotten most of them out of luck and asking around and bothering every electronics store I come accross. And then if I can I buy several.

Its just the fun of the hunt and then we make fun of the "package" hand off.

Today the Wii has been unplugged, so I could plug in my wireless network adaptor for my PS2 and I'm buying SOCOM 4.

I even went back to the address book and added your Mii face to the icon.
