Mii and the Relationship (WII)

When it comes to the ex, all is fair in love and Nintendo.

by Chris Buffa on Tuesday, September 04, 2007

Two weeks ago, my (now) ex girlfriend decided she wanted out of our relationship, dumping me via AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). Since that heart shattering event, I've struggled to remain strong and went through the motions, removing pictures of us online, returning things she left at my apartment and trying my best to salvage a friendship, because as most people know, karma's a bitch.

Behold, my ex girlfriend.

During this painful process, I came upon an intriguing dilemma. Before jumping back into Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for Wii, I checked out the Mii Channel and noticed her avatar still occupied my console, along with most of her friends.

Much like discovering a strand of her hair in the bathroom or a gift she bought me, the sight of her Mii made me very sad. I immediately remembered the first time we created our Miis nine months ago. It was a Friday in November, just a couple of weeks after we met. Nintendo delivered the Wii to my doorstep and she enthusiastically asked me to bring it to her apartment so she could play it before her video game savvy girlfriends. Being that I wanted to spend every second with this woman, I obliged, and what ensued was a memorable date in which we ate pizza, created our first Miis (she named me Sexpot, and herself Sexpan) and played Wii Sports for several hours. Then we both feel asleep in each other's arms.

It didn't take long for reality to kick me in the face. No longer did I have the sweet, loving girlfriend that promised we'd always be together. That person died over a month ago, replaced by someone with a new outlook on life and a future that doesn't include me, but she had left her mark, or rather, her Mii.

Save, or destroy?

    Chris Buffa, you, are one of the most idiotic NERDS on the internet, quit whining about having to delete an avatar on a gaming system and for the love of god DO NOT write 3 page articles on how traumatic it is to do so. That being said, all of your reviews and articles are crap. you suck, and so does anyone who agrees with you

    I was in this position justa couple of weeks ago, and I found myself devastated at the loss of a very meaningful relationship. I had a lot of anger and animosity towards my ex, and though I still wanted to pursue a friendship, I knew that the feelings I kept inside would never allow us to truly be friends. So, I went to my Wii, and with the intentions of erasing him I suddenly had a better idea; I wanted to box. And thats exactly what I did. My ex and I "sparred" for two hours. Not only did i get out every urge to punch him in the face, but I was able to tell him exactly how I felt. We're having drinks this Tuesday after his business meeting in Atlanta. Good luck, and know that there will always be someone else. You just have to hold out hope for her.

    you're such a F** yo im letting you know that if you even felt how you feel enough to write something like this you should probably never play games again and take your akward A** out to a club... endure a couple weeks of miserable akwardness until you learn to be normal and then enjoy living a REAL life... devoid of time wasting sentimentality and BS video games AKA WHAT I READ HERE CONFIRMS YOUR DEEPEST FEARS THAT YOU'RE A B**** ON THE EDGE OF ****SEXUALITY

    if you got a 360 instead you wouldn't have this problem

    you're pathetic homeboy and so are all these overly sentimental geeks that agree with you... why would you wallow over this girl? get off your game addicted A** and go get another one... my advice to you is to throw out the Wii, leave your comfort zone and go get some social skills necessary and delayed awakening and realizations don't come easy so stop using your video games as a crutch and do something productive
