Wii not crazy

I haven’t been into video games since I was a kid. I have never beaten one. Ever. Not Mario Bros 1, not Sonic, not Zelda. So I lost interest (obviously) and since then I’ve thought that video games are huge wastes of time and money and are basically for stoopid people (it’s obvious that I [...]
