I have been wanting one for a while and just not got one as Target had them on sale with 2 free games. I played it for over an hour after I got it. I love it. I like how you get exercise at the same time and it wears you out, that was the only reason I stopped playing as my arms were getting tired.
I love how it can play game cube games as I do have a lot of those. I also like the browser that it comes with but it does not play flash games all that well. Oh the picture gallery and slide show feature is very nice as I found a old sd card with pictures on it and ran the slide show.
Over all I love the wii and hope to get the board next.

A vampire bat came flapping in from the night covered in
fresh blood and parked himself on the roof of the cave to
get some sleep. Pretty soon all the other bats smelt the
blood and began hassling him about where he got it. He told
them to go away and let him get some sleep. However, the
bats persisted until finally he gave in.
“OK, follow me,” he said and flew out of the cave with
hundreds of bats behind him. Down through a valley they
went, across a river and into a forest full of trees.
Finally he slowed down and all the other bats excitedly
milled around him.
“Now, do you see that tree over there?” he asked.
“Yes, yes, yes!” the bats all screamed in a hungry frenzy.
“Good,” said the first bat tiredly, “Because I didn’t!”

Jimmy’s English teacher was a perfectionist and demanded the
very best of his pupils. So it was only to be expected that
he would get furious when Little Jimmy handed in a poor
paper.
“This is the worst essay it has ever been my misfortune to
read,” ranted the teacher. “It has too many mistakes. I
can’t understand how one person would have made all these
mistakes.”
“One person didn’t,” replied Little Jimmy defensively. “My
father helped me!”

A retiring farmer needed to rid his farm of animals in
preparation for selling his land. So he went to every house
in his town.
To the houses where the man is the boss, he gave a horse. To
the houses where the woman is the boss, a chicken was given.
He got toward the end of the street and saw a couple outside
gardening. “Who’s the boss around here?” he asked.
“I am.” said the man.
“I have a black horse and a brown horse,” the farmer said,
“which one would you like?”
The man thought for a minute and said, “The black one.”
“No, no, no, get the brown one.” the man’s wife said.
“Here’s your chicken.” said the farmer.

Project wonderful was mentioned in a topic about google ads on invision power board’s forum. So I thought I would give it a try. I first started with the blog so I could get an idea of how it worked and how well it worked. It was doing better then the google ads I had so I thought I would put it on the anime database as well as otaku Play ground. It seems to work even better on those 2 as they have more traffic then my blog. So I am happy so far and I am hopping it helps pay for the hosting, or at least part of the hosting.
To me project wonderful is like the child of ebay and google ads or some thing like that. My basic understanding is as a publisher you offer ad space on your site and advertiser can bid to use that ad space and you earn money based on how much they bid. If you do not change the minimum bid on your ad space it starts out at 0, which for the blog I left it at that do to not having that much traffic on the blog. For the database and otaku play ground I did set them to a minimum of 0.01 and I am getting advertisers so looks like I made the right choice. I am not sure if clicks help but would assume that if one of the visitors to the site clicks it helps encourage advertisers to bid higher. At least that is what I would think as if I was an advertiser and had my ads on a site I would want clicks and would pay more if I got clicks. So ya that part is different that google as on google you only get money if the ads are clicked on.
Not sure how my members are handling the ads as no one has said any thing yet about them. I am thinking not to badly as I do have to approve all ads and I only approve those that are E rated, project wonderful calls it C rated. Which is safe for work and safe for children. I know that if I put google ads on otaku play ground I would have members upset do to the way google ads works. I mean some people do not like them as they see them as spyware. Me personally I do not think of google ads that way but do think of double click ad as spyware as spybot and other spyware removers see it as such. So ya I would never put double click ads on my site. I did have ads before that were paid ads. But worked differently. They were basically affiliate ads that I got from my host. The only way I earned money on those was if some one purchased from them.
So far I do like project wonderful and may even use it to get some free ads out there for my sites. I will just look for the ad spaces that are still at 0 and bid on them. I just need to create some ads and away I go.
