10 Tips to Have a Fantastic Day
May 6th, 2012 by admin No comments »
Step 1. Today begins yesterday.
What you do today, affects tomorrow, more than anything else. So, having a fantastic day today, began yesterday. Now, there’s lots of ways to overcome the misdeeds and forgotten promises of yesterday. You can even take a pill or try running it off. But, eventually – compensation kills us.
Waking up to a fantastic day needs to grow out of yesterday, rather than be compensation for it. So, the rest of these steps in having a fantastic day today, also ensure you “had a fantastic day, yesterday” and yesterday depends on the day before that. So I think you can get the drift here. Do today not what is best for today, but what is great for tomorrow.
It takes around 6 weeks to embed a new habit. Exercises are only temporary measures until habits set in. So, the other 14 steps that follow, are temporary knowledge. Eventually they’ll become habits.
Step 2. Sleep. The Sound of Silence.
I’ve seen people spend half their life in ashrams, running around ***** on beaches in Byron Bay, bending over backwards in Yoga, chanting up a storm in a church, eating organic vegies, fighting for human rights. All of which is their attempt to “have a great day”
But most of them couldn’t sleep well. And therefore, their day, their job, their love was always a struggle. I want you to hear this really, really, really loud. Nothing is more important to your achievements in life than the ability to do nothing.
The only thing that blocks sleep is your ego. That’s not a criticism of the ego; without it we have no money, no relationship, no health, no job. So, please don’t think this is ego bashing. Ego is as spiritual as everything else on earth.
But, yes, there’s a but, the ego has to die to life. It is not the whole reality of life. If we get so confused between our ego and our spirit that we can’t separate them, then stress, worry, sadness, poverty, lack of love will become a screen through which we see our day. So, the ego, at night, and several moments throughout the day as a minimum must rest.
To rest the ego is easy. Maybe that is a new habit, but right here, right here and now I’ll show you how to practice that. Ready?
To rest the ego you have to practice trust.
The only reason we live through our ego is to make life safe. We use it to sort of “force” our way through life. We use our ego to “get what we want” and if we don’t use it, we end up poor, alone, and *****. Ego collects things, holds them, nurtures them, supports them and discards them when we are finished. Ego is the material world.
The only reason we “want” is because we don’t trust that it’ll be “given” to us. So, to fall asleep at night you have to “trust” that everything is going to be fantastic. Of course, the ego never thinks things are going to be fantastic unless it is involved. It is the maker, the constructor, the thinker, the carer. So, to fall asleep – I mean good fantastic restful sleep at the deepest level, then you have to stop wanting and trust.
If you stop wanting and trust during the day, you’ll end up on the street begging. So, there’s a time and a place. To “trust” is to rest. All religions and faiths, and spirituality tries to give their followers trust. They call it faith. That’s another great word for sleep quality, faith. Faith comes from the ego, but it is a restful ego that has faith.
So, that’s the second step to a fantastic day. Practice “trust” or “faith” in order to separate your ego from your spirit. Remembering that your ego never sleeps, it can only be placated for the night.
Early to bed and early to rise is the sequence that suits the ego.
Ps dreams are of the ego. Dreams in the early night are unfinished ego business of the day. Dreams in the middle of the night are long term unfinished ego business. Dreams in the early morning are ambitions of the ego. And as you know, when you dream allot, you don’t feel rested. The ego didn’t feel safe.
Step 3. Eat to love, not love to eat.
My chiropractor friend John Demartini claims that 90% of back problems in the morning come from a full belly at night. That’s just the beginning of the issue of food, rest and day-life.
What we eat today becomes us tomorrow. So, red meat makes us aggressive. Milk makes us mothering. Pork makes us stupid. Bread makes us dull. Apples make us clean. Mangoes make us fired up. Bananas make us enthusiastic. Salt is not a food. Oil makes us flexible. Alcohol makes us dry. Coffee makes us bitter. Chocolate makes us want for love.
Now if you believe all that, you are as dumb as the rest of the new age world. Each person is different, each body is different and each constitution is different. There is different pork too. Good and bad. So, please lets start respecting that there are no panacea to say what is good and bad. Except.
If your **** is like a brick and sinks in the bowl you got problems and cancer is a close candidate. If your **** hits the sides of the bowl without touching the water, you are totally starving your body of nutrient. If you are fat then there’s too much fat in your diet 6-40g per day needed. If you are skinny, the joy of love might be hard to hold.
All this aside, it is equally important to focus on how, when and where you eat as it is on what.
Don’t run through the city eating a sandwich – it’s ugly, poor health and is disrespectful for your body.
Don’t combine more than 5 different foods at one sitting
Don’t eat within 4 hours of sleep – dry biscuits are great alternatives.
Don’t eat more than the equivalent of a clenched fist (yours) of food in one sitting.
Eat 5 times a day and make sure protein is the essence of that eating.
Avoid things that quench your appetite without providing nourishment.
Eat to your lifestyle. A big breakfast might be great for a brick layer, but an office worker will be sleeping by 11.00am with too much food for breakfast.
A big lunch needs a big rest afterward.
Something bitter, like a pickle or salad before big meals helps digestion.
Step 4. A plan.
Of all the thousands of great ideas about having a fantastic day, this next one is the most commonly used by the most successful people I have consulted to. This includes; movie starts, rock stars, business leaders, reformed drug addicts, politicians, entrepreneurs and artists. Are you ready for it?
To a person, every single successful person I have worked with has a note book of some sort in which they plan tomorrow. Why is this so important?
Well, because people who believe they are worthy of success, and who think they are really worthy of having a fantastic day – everyday day, don’t leave that up to chance.
So, for example; they have people they love working around them. They have professional people working for them. They don’t work with people they dislike. So, they are always planning tomorrow so that it is filled with fabulous things to do.
In contrast I also consult to allot of people who consider themselves losers. Nearly every single one of them has a vision plan, written down as a result of some seminar they did ten years ago. They have great dreams but a crappy reality. Of course, a few months consumed in a crappy reality is going to cause devastating ego issues and ultimately sabotage the long term.
So, back to those lists. Before you go to your bed, “think this question” – what do I have planned for tomorrow? If the answer is “same old same old” or “got to solve those bloody problems” or “I have to go and work in that crappy job” then know that you are treating yourself like a loser. You do have choice.
1/ First choice is that you can find something fantastic in something terrible. That’s a mind game so be careful it’s not just trickery. But you can actually go to a job you don’t like with a different approach that “yuk” – you can find things to love about it, or funny parts of it. A sense of humour can cure allot of dark thinking.
2/ Second choice is that you can change it. Just know that the building blocks of a great life are great days. Miserable, “oh same old same old” plans for tomorrow make you a “sad sack” and people are going to treat you like you treat yourself. A punching bag for their emotional overload.
3/ The third choice is that you can, in the most extreme situations drop into your spirit and trust that just because the ego doesn’t see daylight, doesn’t mean there isn’t any. You can trust that the challenge has a deeper beauty than what you first see. Now, this is fine, but don’t do it everyday – it becomes a habit of excusing all the dirt because there’s a deeper meaning. You end up hating yourself.
So step four is always think ahead about tomorrow. Is it going to be a great day? And if not, what can you inject into it to make it great. It’s called “Design-A-Day” Design your next day as something to look forward to. If you did that right yesterday then today is great, so you won’t be looking to “have a better day tomorrow”
Step 5. Don’t look back.
Now, I am writing this article for you. It must sound like I am doing everything I am writing. It must come across like my life is totally paradise. And I am having fantastic days. Well that is only half right.
I’ve got arthritic fingers from millions of hammers on this keyboard sitting in cold places writing books that no one read. So, I could look back and get really pissed. And there’s other things too. So, life is a work in progress. So, in my life I have to keep processing the past in order to allow myself to turn up, and have a fantastic day today. And it’s never finished. So, I don’t go digging for stuff to process.
The most powerful key to having a great day is never look back and there is only one “honest” way to achieve that. You have to be thankful for the past.
When I say “don’t look back” people turn their heads and start focussing on what they want. Their ego gets the reins and off they run thinking “right, Walker told me not to look back so I will look ahead and keep my focus on what is coming next” – but that’s not it.
Don’t look back means don’t have regrets. The past makes us so, if we blindside the past it might be blocked from our thoughts, but it is actually causing the present.
All the unfinished business of yesteryear, is haunting us like a ghost. Buddhist call it Karma, Christians call it “The wrath of God” – and I don’t know what Jewish people call it, “vengeance or something” and Moslem’s I have even less knowledge. The key is, that everyone acknowledges that what we did affects what we do.
In the laws of nature, the same thing. What they propose is that under the ego, there is no “I” there is just a we. So, what we do to others we do to ourselves. Like a circle of thought, what we put out, comes back. No matter how you word it, the bottom line is that “unfinished business” from the past, corrupts our capacity to have a fantastic day today.
How you really get to “don’t look back” is that you say thanks for it. The past is spiritual. No value was ever had giving the ego control over the past. So, we need to “trust” that the past was what was meant to be. The key to achieving that, as already proposed, is to be thankful for it.
Anything in the past that you can’t be thankful for runs your life.
Anything in the past that I can’t be thankful for, runs my life.
Repeat that 300 times.
And while you are repeating it, flash back to your childhood, or to a past relationship, or to a situation in your past. Think of people, places and things that were important milestones, and check, “am I thankful” – If not, then there’s sabotage in your system and the “fantastic day” is being corrupted. Ego is holding.
Getting thankful for the past is spiritual stuff. Because the past has happened, there’s nothing you can do to change it. After you go through disbelief, denial and then anger about the past experience, finally there’s an honesty. It happened. Then, the only course of action is the deal with it so it doesn’t pollute your day.
Sometimes this needs an intervention by someone who can decipher the blessing of that past. Sometimes you can quickly do it for yourself. The acid test is ‘do you fear it happening again?” if the answer is yes, it’s still stuck in your ego.
To round this off, finish everyday with a thank-you for everything that happened in the day. It’s the best prayer at night for kids to sit or kneel and say “thank you for ……” instead of chanting some wish for forgiveness. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Step 6. Have a reason for living bigger than life itself
For many people this sounds a bit fluffy. They like the idea of “being happy” as the most important thing in their day. Me too. However, after a bunch of bungled attempts at that strategy I’ve come to a better way, one that actually works.
I found that what I get from life makes me happy for a while but what I give in life makes me happy. So, if I feel like what I am doing right now is good for me, I am happy, for a while. But as soon as I stop, then I am needing something else to make me happy. So, I think this running from happy make me – happy make me – is what causes addictions and emotional instability.
Happy make you doesn’t work either because you might be a “happy make me person” then, I am valuable for a few minutes while I make you happy, then, well if I don’t keep you happy you are either sad, or bored, and what then?
I avoid branding people, but the net result of most devotion to Anthony Robins is an obsession with “make me happy” That idea didn’t work for me, my standards are different.
However, I found that by having a sense of purpose in life and as long as I can link whatever I am doing to that purpose, I feel, content. And given than “our purpose” is about giving to others, then it’s a great model for a “fantastic day” – link our activities to our purpose.
It gives life a bigger meaning and therefore puts things in a different context. I have met clients who are so emotionally fragile, always looking for compliments, absolutely taking everything personally. It’s not because they are bad or messed up, it’s because the only motive they can find for life is their own happiness.
I also have clients who work in child care, orphanages in third world countries. These people are also fragile just like the first group, however, the fact that they have selfishly found a way to give to others and therefore find a bigger sense of their life context, they are content, happy because that giving is an awesome energy.
Now we need to be conscious here. The person who goes out in the world seeking approval and self happiness from their day, might just be the perfect partner. They get all day, and give all night. Whereas, the aid worker or the healer might give all day and want to “get” all night.
We must remember that there are two sides to everyone. A public and a private. Whatever a person does in extreme in public, they reverse in private. That’s how you can tell those little old ladies with Victorian embroidered collars on their white shirts under their jumper going to church, are total *** maniacs when they get home!
So, back to the topic at hand. One part of us seeks to get happy, the other part of us seeks to give happy. Our ego does both because it feels good either way. The thing about giving happy is that you can turn any disaster into a victory by thinking; “who did I just make happy?” but you can’t turn a disaster into a victory by thinking, “I’m not really unhappy”
So, learn to give in order to be more happy. The best way is to measure your life by what you gave rather than what you’ve got. Ultimately you are going to die so what you’ve got “isn’t really worth anything”, eventually.
Step 7. Approach – no – attack the day ahead.
It is a sad confession that I make that I have spent the night with a few people. Yes, ok, so I’ve been normal. Shoot me for it! Anyways, the thankfulness of that is that I’ve got to witness quite a number of wake up rituals, and noticed how mine change when I woke up alone or with someone.
The bottom line is that those first few minutes when we come back to consciousness from sleep, are very, very important to our health. As a child I used to stay with my Nanna. I loved it. We would all be still up playing while dear old Nanna was already knitting in bed. She loved knitting in bed and always fell asleep with those dangerous needles and half her nights knitting unravelled on her lap. But, when the **** crowed in the mornings Nanna was already up, out in her garden getting rid of snails from the cabbages, collecting a few eggs for breakfast.
She would have set the table, made the bread, whipped the eggs and probably had a cuppa before the sun came up. Nanna died. She was 94 and she only died because someone in her family stole her money and house and broke her heart. Dear Nanna, she knew how to get up in the morning. Lucky for her that her husband died 50 years prior so there weren’t many temptations to do otherwise. And from what I have heard, he was an *** anyway, so that’s probably where she got the habit.
Bounce out of bed in the morning. You can do it. Then a little stretch, go make the tea, brighten your heart deliberately and if other sleepy heads are still in the bed, bring them a nice hot cuppa or something.
Step 8. Life is a miracle. See it and smile
Now, this is a bit of unapologetic self promotion and given the self revelation in the last point, I can do it. The laws of nature are important because they let you laugh more. So learning them is important.
You see, some people don’t like the news because it’s always a surprise to them that the world is like it is. That is because some people think that the way want the world to be, is how it should be. This is mild depression.
Severe depression is absolute shock when the world is what it is. So, if you can read the paper, watch the news and go, “Oh, yeah, that’s the laws of nature at work” then what could cause depression, sadness or disappointment? Really think about it. If you know how something works then what could be a disappointment?
If I had a car, which I don’t, I would know that if I don’t put petrol in it, then it will conk out. If I don’t put water in the water thing, then it will dry up and die. So, I know how a car works and the only thing that could be a surprise would be my own incapacity to remember such trivial matters as “put petrol in car”
Then if I also know that too much mind noise causes forgetfulness, too much salad causes ungroundedness, too much alcohol blocks clear thinking, and worry causes us not to turn up, then when I “forget” to put petrol in the car, I know why, and therefore don’t get a surprise there either.
The laws of nature are universal. So, if you know a universal law, you know how everything works, even a computer if you choose to apply them. So, health, wealth, love, life, business all works on the same laws. Universal ones. Stars work on those laws too and so do cancer cells. So, you see, wisdom of this nature can be very precious. You can get those laws by buying all my books… sorry.
Step 9. Don’t take the Stuff…
When you are talking to another person and they use the word “YOU” duck. Our skills as western communicators are terrible. We prefer to say “you” when we should say “I” and we prefer to say “I” when we should say “you.”
Positive words need to be directed at “I” and “you”
Negative words are best not included with the word “you”
When someone you are speaking to, uses the word “you” and a negative word in the same sentence, reject it somehow.
However, don’t reject it by saying “You” and a negative word in the same sentence like “you just insulted me” or “you are too judgemental” this is like putting pepper on a cats nose.
It is wise to have a non violent strategy to deal with other people’s downloads. For the vast majority of people, they won’t sleep tonight if they don’t blame you or someone else for their woes. So, in order to rest and get a good night sleep they dump on you.
Some people are good at being dumped on. They seem to be like a sponge for it, or some others it just goes right over their head. I’m a mixture of both, but I try to be the latter as much as possible.
We’re all vulnerable to people dumping on us. However, when we put that person on some sort of pedestal, then their dumping gains momentum. They’re doing it from a “high place” and it hits harder. So, the more somebody’s words hurt, the more you put them on a pedestal.
Putting people on pedestals only comes from wanting to be on one ourselves. If we put others up on pedestals on the outside, then we are already on one within ourselves. So, hypersensitivity is egoism. Self aggrandisement on the inside, self depletion on the outside. Neither is healthy.
There are two important things to avoid in order that you don’t start this paper chase of pedestal putting. First, separate your work from you. That’s at a spiritual level. You have to know that you are lovable even if you don’t work or talk or have any opinions at all. You can just be a vegetable and you are still as lovable as the next bloke, woman, person.
The second thing to avoid is trying to be right.
There is no right. Sometimes if you go left it’s right. But right is not always right, sometimes it’s the only choice that’s left. So, if left is right and right is right, then surely being right is only half the answer. Maybe the if you go left it’s right around the corner from being right, or if right is the only choice left, then left is right only if you can’t take the right.
Religious people always want to be right. “My way is Gods way” I think in our lifetime we’ll see this change.
Church attendances are dropping and the “my way or the highway” recruiting drive is failing. For commercial reasons alone, religions are shifting, except the Catholic one which just added 7 new sins to the list. Religious fanaticism is still the loudest voice on earth. It throws more bombs, abuses human rights more, invades more countries, holds up more scientific research, and injects itself into more homes than any other thing.
However, it is the minority, and in spite of this minority having the loudest voice, it will evolve, eventually. So, avoid being right if you want to evolve and have a fantastic day.
Step 10. If you are going to do something – enjoy it.
I live near a huge park. It’s a place for people to go and do their daily exercise. What I love most is to see people doing their training and laughing at the same time. The personal trainers who are really good at their jobs, get their little groups motivated but enjoying themselves, all at the same time. The reason is; if the clients don’t enjoy their time, they wont come back.
Then there’s the hardy people in the park. Running and puffing and frowning. I doubt they are really doing themselves much good.
I went out with a friend last week and we had a nice meal and a glass of wine. She’s a yogini and lives a really strict lifestyle but every now and then she has a wine with her lunch. It’s great, she gets tipsy after half a glass. She does this lunch thing every now and then but always on a Friday, because she doesn’t teach on the Saturday. Therefore, if she feels a bit off colour after the wine, she doesn’t regret it the next day. She can enjoy herself.
Everything we do has a consequence and we need to build that consequence into what we are doing. A bucket of ice cream might look tempting, but, if we are going to really enjoy it, we have to accept the “fat” and the cholesterol as a part of the fun.
That’s how monks stop themselves from getting *****. They might see a beautiful woman and think “yum” and start to “enjoy” a forbidden fruit. Or at least the idea of it. So, they think of that person’s colon. That’s enough to bring you back to reality. They kill the temptation before it kills them.
So, when we do what we do, and we have a complete understanding of the consequence, and the consequence is fine, then, we can let go.
Grinding through work, grinding through music, grinding through the day is no way to cause this to be a fantastic day. And going to do something just because it is good for you, is not enough. It must be good for you AND it must be enjoyable. Otherwise, it’s killing you.
Wii Downloads – Unleashing Your Wii
May 6th, 2012 by admin No comments »
If you want to make the most of the potential of your Nintendo Wii, then downloads are a must. The Wii comes with a huge hard drive and has full multimedia facilities. Instead of just being a games machine, your Wii can be a media centre with music downloads, movie downloads, music videos and game downloads.
Once your have a URL browser installed you can use your Wii for surfing the internet. This unlocks not only traditional internet features, but also the ability to join downloads sites that specialize in providing a huge range of download options. There are a number of download options available. Some have free membership but then charged per item purchased. Others have a monthly membership fee – but the best ones have a one time fee and give access to their library of downloads. If the latest game you are searching for is sold out then try a download site. As for some of the old Nintendo Classics the only way to now get them is through such Wii download sites.
Your Wii connects to the internet through an internal wireless connection which operates off your wireless router. You just enter your WAP code and then Wii will do the rest. Obviously download speeds will be affected by the speed of your router. If you have a particularly large movie or game download then setting up the download before you go to bed can be the best bet to ensure your not sitting around for hours for particularly large downloads.

Smartphone Face Off – Droid Vs iPhone
May 2nd, 2012 by admin 1 comment »
If there is an application or software in the smart phone announcing that It can do everything, a smart phone will say that it can do anything which is impossible to phone. Now the faceoff of the smart phones is becoming hotter and hotter, what is your final choice?
It is seemed that the iPhone is an artwork only to be collected, but the camera which is only with 2MP is a little useless. Android platform is supported by the strong Google, but it does not have the App Store and thousands of absorbing applications. The RIM BlackBerry is always hot, however, it looks a little ugly. Do you like to use the Windows Mobile Phone when you have seen the Microsoft windows mark for many years?
So the first problem is not without smart phone, but you don’t know which one should be purchased.
The battle between Droid and iPhone is very interesting. Based on the Android platform, Droid is very strong. But it will never defeat iPhone in a short time because the latter has become the super star in the area of smart phone. If the Droid wants to defeat the iPhone, it has to take a long-term strategy, but not a fancy commercial. The market share of electronic products is decided by the use habit of users. For example, the Mac is so beautiful that it is seemed as the Venus goddess, and the spending on ads is about ten times than Microsoft Windows. But it is known that there is never a flood of people rushing towards Mac.
Now is about one week away from the release of the Verizon Droid, we do know that the commercials promise a real keyboard, night shots, open development platform, widgets(I don’t think that it’s better than App Store),customization and interchangeable batteries. Here are some specs from other IT websites:
1. The slideout QWERTY keyboard doesn’t mean a big phone, the Droid is only slightly thicker than the iPhone 3Gs.
2. A very big display, though no dimensions were given.
3. Runs Android 2.0 and will probably be the fastest Android smart phone yet.
4. Comes with a desktop charger.
It is said that the Droid will have a pretty 5MP camera.
Besides, Droid will have the better Internet experience. In order to catch up to the advance of its competitors, iPhone will plan to add the AJAX and Flash technology into it.
Droid vs iPhone: without App!
Droid can’t provide so much applications and a huge App Store just like Apple. But now more and more new applications and games based on the Android platform have become popular.
Droid vs iPhone: choose your favorite!
Choose your favorite smart phone, although Droid has the better performance, it will still need more software and application to support it. iPhone is so strong, but maybe you will need an additional Mac.
Droid vs iPhone: users have the option!
No doubt, the iPhone is pushing the market towards more high-featured devices like the Verizon Droid. The originality and strength make the iPhone become the absolutely winner of this battle. If others want to defeat it, they have to have the better software and hardware than iPhone.
Wii Sports Resort Detailed Review
May 2nd, 2012 by admin No comments »
Wii Sports Resort is the highly anticipated sequel to the original Wii Sports that came bundled with the Nintendo Wii. Like it’s predecessor, Wii Sports Resort contains a variety of sports games. This new edition has Sword Play, Wake Boarding, Frisbee, Archery, Basketball, Table Tennis, Golf, Bowling, Power Cruising, Canoeing, Cycling, and Air Sports. All but Bowling and Golf are new to the Wii Sports package.
Wii Sports Resort is also the first launch of the Wii Motion Plus. The Wii Motion Plus is an-add on attachment that uses a dual-axis angular rate sensor which can calculate rotational motion. This is a simple attachment that snaps into the bottom the Wii remote. One Wii Motion Plus attachment is needed for each controller. The original release of Wii Sports Resort came with one Wii Motion Plus attachment, but a later release offered a version with two. With the Wii Motion Plus game motion control is improved greatly. Now the Wii remote catches the slightest movement in any direction.
This game is a great multi-player game. It makes a great game for family and friends. Most games you can play with at least two players at once and some games you can play up to four players. There are a few sports that you can only play by yourself like Showdown, Sky diving, and Island Flyover.
The game takes place at a sports resort at Wuhu Island. Each of the sporting events are scattered all around the island. As soon as you start the game up you are literally dropped off onto the Island by a plane with a team of sky divers giving you glimpse of the sky diving game available in Air Sports.
Now lets get into the details of the game. I’m going to start with my personal favorite, Table Tennis (Ping Pong).
Table Tennis:
If you loved Tennis in the original Wii Sports game, then you are going to love Table Tennis. I myself even enjoy it more than Tennis. Now, this is nothing like the Table Tennis is Wii Play, this is a whole lot better. The game is a match to 6 points where you need to win by two points (a match to ten can be played by holding down the 2 button when choosing your Mii). To serve you toss the Wii remote up or press A, then swing the remote either forward hand or backhand to serve. What makes this game great is the control you have over the game. You can do a normal hit by swinging directly forward, do a top spin by flipping your wrist forward while you swing, and you can chop/cut by swinging the remote in a downward motion. I must say the control is quite amazing. Rallies can get quite long as you reach the advanced levels and you will have to use a lot of spin to beat the champion level Mii’s. Just like in Tennis the Mii’s make all kinds of diving saves which make for great rallies. Use strategies such as hitting the balls to the corners to make them pop the ball up for an easy slam, but watch out in the later rounds they make lots of crazy returns (good luck beating Lucia). Another little surprise is the celebrity Mii’s that make their cameo appearances on the stands and even as opponents. I’ve had to face Ozzie Osborn, Michael Jackson, and Keith Richards just to name a few.
Besides the regular Table Tennis game there is the Return Challenge. In this mode, like in Tennis, a trainer serves you balls constantly until you miss. Along the way aluminum cans will pop up on the table as targets. Each time you hit a can your score raises up. This mode helps in fine tuning your aiming skills.
Sword Play:
This is probably my second favorite sports game. More so for all three of the modes than just the dual mode itself. In Dual mode you have a sword battle with a computer or another player on the top of a circular tower. The point of the match is to knock your opponent off of the tower into the pool below. The best 2 out of 3 wins the match. With sword play you can attack in any direction by swinging your sword from up to down, left to right, or diagonal up or down. You can also block by holding the B button and moving the remote in a defensive position. You must put the remote in the correct blocking position based on the direction the opponent swings. If you make a successful block the opponent will fall back unbalanced allowing you to attack them. In the beginning round you can just go all out offensive and win most of the time, but in the later rounds you must be more tactful and learn how to block.
Speed Slice mode is one of my favorite multi-player modes of this game. In speed slice you will get to slice through all kinds of random objects such as logs, timers, cupcakes, bamboo, oranges, etc. The point of the game is to slice through the object in the direction the arrow points the fastest. A judge will throw up an object at varied speeds and whoever slices through the object in the correct direction first wins a point. The first to 10 points wins the match. This is a great one for family and friends you will spend hours competing against each other to see who has the fastest reactions. Also its fun just slicing something up.
Showdown mode is probably my favorite single player mode in this game. Take your dual skills and apply them to battle the masses. Here you will have fight against an army of guys to beat each of the levels. While there is a mob of Mii’s you are battling only one Mii can attack you at a time. It can take up to 3 hits to kill a Mii. A Mii’s hearts determine the number of times you must hit them to knock them out. In the early rounds you can just mow through them and go nuts without any regard to blocking. Later on they get smart and start blocking and you must imply your sword skill strategies to defeat the army of Mii’s. This is a great addition to the Sword Play mode and I’ve spent countless hours of fun beating these levels.
Archery:
My next favorite sport would be Archery. Archery shows off the accuracies of the new Wii motion plus accessory. With archery you hold up the remote up like a bow and pull the nun chuck back like an arrow move the remote around for aiming and let it fly. The slightest movement will make a big difference in this event. Each round a player gets 3 shots. If you hit the bulls eye you get 10 points. There are a total of 3 rounds. The target gets pushed back further in each round. Whoever has the most cumulative points in the end wins the game. Make sure when aiming you take into account the wind factor and gravity. Each of these aspects get more difficult the further the target is. This is one of those games that is easy to play but hard to master.
Wake Boarding:
In Wake Boarding your are towed by a speed boat in which your Mii hangs onto the line and you do jumps and tricks to earn points. The more better the tricks and jumps are more points you will receive. In this case you hold the Wii remote horizontally to the ground and tip the remote to the left or right to guide your Mii through the ocean. When you get to a wave you must flip the remote up to jump and do tricks then you must straighten on the remote to level in order to make your landing. When you make consecutive landings the boat driver will speed up allowing you to jump higher and do better tricks. In later rounds there are pylons that you must avoid hitting.
Air Sports:
In Sky Diving you get to jump out of an airplane with a group of Mii’s. As you fall from the sky you control your Mii by holding the control horizontal and tilting it upwards and downwards. Think of the remote as your body, as you hold the remote flat your body has most air resistance and you will slow down and not move in any direction. If you tilt the remote downwards you will speed up in the direction you tilt the remote. The same goes with tilting backwards accept you will move feet first. These controls are integrated flawlessly. The main point of this game is to meet up with as many Mii’s as you can and pose (face towards the camera) for photographs with them. In the end you need to grab as many Mii’s as you can to make the final formation and direct your group through ring targets on the way down. Points are determined on how many Mii’s you were able to take photographs with, the quality of the photographs, and how many rings targets you passed through.
Island Flyover is a great change of pace. If you feel like taking a break from the action filled games this game can be relaxing. Basically you fly a tour plane around Wuhu Island and find all the points of interest. When you spot an ‘i’ go towards it and fly through the circle to gain an ‘i’ point for your trip. Each trip out you are given five minutes to fly around and find all the points of interest. To fly the plane you hold the Wii remote like you would throw a paper airplane. Tilting the remote in an direction gives you precise control of your movements. Quickly shoot the plane in bursts by thrusting the remote forward like throwing a dart. At first this game can seem a little too slow, but as you start trying to find all the ‘i’ points on the map it can start to get interesting. Some of the ‘i’ points are hidden away in volcanoes, tunnels, attached to moving objects, and small hidden away crevices. It can be a challenge to fly your plane through these tunnels without crashing. As you gain more ‘i’ points you get some upgrades such as being able to shoot balloons, getting a bi-plane to bring a passenger with you, and getting your Mii put on the blimp. By the time you find all the ‘i’ points you know Wuhu Island like the back of your hand.
Dogfight is a two-player game in which you and a friend go one on one in pursuit for the most points. Each player starts with 20 points, which is displayed on a balloon trailing your plane. Ring targets will randomly show up with points posted inside the ring, whoever goes through the ring first gains those points. Every time you shoot your opponents balloon they lose one point. So, if it looks like your opponent is going to beat you to the ring target you try to shoot his balloons while trailing behind him. If you are the one in front then you try to dodge their shots. When the time runs out whoever has the most points wins.
Power Cruising:
Power Cruising is basically jet skiing. You hold the Wii Remote in one had and the Wii nun chuck in the other like you are holding the handle bars of a jet ski. Lean to the left or right to steer and twist the remote toward you like a throttle and you will get a boost. When going over a wave you lift up to make a jump. This game can be a race to gain the most points individually or against an opponent in vs. mode. The point of the game is to finish the race with the most points. You gain points by passing through rings that have a count down timer on them. The faster you get to the ring the more points you will receive. Some rings have an inner ring which give you added bonus points. In the more advanced round the waves get a lot rougher and makes controlling your jet ski much more difficult.
Basketball:
The 3-Point Contest in basketball is just like the All-Star game. You get a rack balls at five destinations around the 3-point mark. Each rack has four regular balls plus a money ball. If you hit all your shots you can get a total of 30 points. To pick up the ball you point the remote downward and press B. Shooting is just like shooting a regular basketball, lift the ball up pull the remote back over your head and flick it forward as if you were putting a backwards rotation on the ball. Overall it almost has the feel of shooting a real ball. Timing the release at the top of the jump along with how you flick the remote forward is key to making the baskets. You have 60 seconds to complete all racks.
The Pickup Game is a 3 on 3 half court basketball game. It kind of reminds me of the basketball version of the Wii Sports baseball game. It’s basically a simplified version of a basketball game in order to make it motion sense friendly. On offense you can pass, shoot, or dunk. On defense you can swipe for a steal or block shots. Passing the ball around to the correct Mii can be a bit of a challenge. Shooting is just like it is in the 3-point contest. Attempting a dunk will show you in a dunk animation in which you must flick the remote down at the right time to complete the dunk. When on defense it’s pretty easy to block a shot if you time correctly. Just as they start to shoot flick the remote up to block the shot. While this can be fun to play, don’t expect it to be a full blown out basketball game.
Frisbee:
Frisbee Dog takes place on the beach where you fling a Frisbee and your dog goes and catches it. The point of the game is to toss the Frisbee onto a target and accumulate the most points. Along the way there is balloons that you can aim for to get bonus points. Control of the Frisbee is not an easy task to master. It does showoff the precision of the Wii Motion Plus. To throw the Frisbee you need to press the B button hold the remote horizontally toward your stomach in one hand and fling forward just like throwing a Frisbee. You must also pay attention to what angle you fling the remote at as it will determine the angle at which the Frisbee will fly out at. Next you must release the B button at the precise time to determine which direction the Frisbee will go. All of this takes a little practice to get it all down.
Frisbee Golf is basically just as it sounds, but instead of hitting a golf ball in the hole you have to throw the Frisbee onto the target while your on the golf course. Instead of different types of golf clubs you have a choice of three different types of Frisbee’s each. Each Frisbee goes a different average distance.
Cycling:
Cycling is a one or two player event in which you race through courses on Wuhu Island. This game is a great fitness game as you have to always wave your arms up and down to keep peddling. Movement is made by moving your hand up and down in opposite directions just as if you were paddling the bike with your hands. This can start to get really tiring as some of the courses are quite long. There is a heart meter which gages how tired your Mii gets. The more constant you peddle the more tired your Mii gets. If you run out of hearts you will break down and wait until you catch your breath again. You can avoid losing your hearts fast by drafting behind other bikers. The steering in the game is similar to Power Cruising. Just lean to the left or right to control the direction. In the game you will need to avoid things such as bananas and oil slicks. In the end you will have had to master your drafting techniques to earn first places finishes.
Canoeing:
Canoeing is a pretty simple sport to play. You just hold the remote in both hands like an oar and start rowing. Just as you were in a canoe itself you need to paddle from both sides to make it go in a straight line. In practice mode you can go around the lake collecting ducklings to follow you around and bring them to the mother duck. In timed mode you just have to row as fast as you can through the course. As you get in the more advance stages there are a lot more obstacles that you will need to avoid to finish the race.
Bowling:
Bowling in Wii Sports Resort seems all to familiar. It is basically the same as the Wii Sports game except it is enhanced with the Wii motion plus. You can definitely tell that it is much more sensitive to spin and motion. I’ve found that I’ve gotten less strikes than I was able to get in the previous edition. This just goes to show you have to be more accurate to get a strike. Bowling also offer a game where you can play with 100 pins instead of 10. This makes getting a strike and spare a whole lot trickier. There is also as Spin Control mode which brings you through a ten frame set that have blocks in the lanes that you need to avoid. This is similar to the training session in the original accept it is recorded as a full 10 frame game.
Golf:
Golf is the other sport that has returned from the original Wii Sports. Golf is also very similar to its predecessor however with the addition of the Wii Motion Plus it is also a whole lot touchier. Now you have to make sure you swing the golf club straight or your ball will slice to the sides. This can take a whole lot of practice just to hit the ball straight. Golf is one of those games that is easy to play, but hard to master.
In conclusion Wii Sports Resort is an excellent Wii game. I give it a mark of 4.5 stars out of 5. With a set of 12 different games along with several subsets of games Wii Sports Resort is definitely a must have game for the Nintendo Wii system. I would purchase this game alone for Table Tennis and Sword Play. Be sure not to miss out on this Wii Game.
Wii Nerf Sports Pack Review
April 28th, 2012 by admin No comments »
The Wii Nerf Sports Pack are accessories that you can attach to your Wii Remote to enhance the enjoyment of playing various sports game. The pack comes with a soft baseball bat, golf club and tennis racket. They are about a third of the size of the actual sporting equipment and made of soft rubber. A Wii Remote can be inserted into the bottom of a handle that works with all three different attachments. The sets come in black, red, blue and green.
The Wii Remote is actually what is directing the game but the accessories do give you a more realistic experience of playing the sport. You can use the attachment when playing Wii sports.
The baseball bat is a lot of fun to play with. The weight of the bat is not very heavy, but it does help to give you more of the sensation you would get when swinging an actual bat. One thing that is kind of annoying is that you have to remove the handle with the attachment when it is your turn to pitch.
The golf club doesn’t give a lot of momentum to your swing but it does help with holding your hands in the proper position. Holding the Nerf golf club does help to keep your shoulder in as well.
The tennis attachment can be a little tricky to get used to. I found that sometimes Wii Sports didn’t recognize my swing, but sometimes it did. So it might take some practice to get it to work.
One thing that is a little bit annoying is the button that you push to unlock the different sports attachments from the handle is kind of hard to push. It might be difficult for younger children to use to switch sports by themselves.
Overall the Wii Nerf Sports Pack is well built and does help to add to enjoyment when playing the Wii sports games. I didn’t do too well with the tennis attachment, but the baseball bat and golf are a lot of fun. The golf club, especially really helped me with my grip and swing. The soft foam has a nice feel to it and of course like all Nerf products makes it safe to play with in the house. The material also adds a little extra weight without being too heavy which helps to make the attachments feel like real sporting equipment.
