That is how I would sum up my experience with the Nintendo Wii. Having acquired one after waiting in line for 20 hours at the local Wal-Mart, I sat down to the most thrilling gaming experience of my life. I felt like I was actually shooting at Nazis as I played Call of Duty 3 and worked up a sweat playing Wii Sports. I have seriously asked myself since then, how could this get any better? I honestly don't know if it can. I haven't even played half the games I bought for it because I am so immersed in Call of Duty 3. It takes the fantasy experience to an entirely new level.Already, my weekend gaming groups have taken a hit. I had to swap schedules with someone at work so that I could get in line to wait for a Wii on Tuesday. To do it, I had to pick up a Friday shift, which unfortunately is scheduled during my regular Friday night game. I also haven't had much time to plan for my Sunday campaign due to all the time I've spent with the Wii. I fear I may have finally found something that could threaten to supplant my love of RPGs. I mean, feeling like I am there has always been the appeal for me, and the Wii does it so vividly. It is truly a momentous step towards affordable, realistic, virtual reality. I can even play it with friends (and there are some great multiplayer games) so the social interaction isn't quite the exclusive privilege of RPGs anymore either. So now I am asking myself, what do tabletop RPGs really have to offer me anymore?</blockquote>
