I wasn't planning on getting a Wii at launch, but my brother called at about 9:30 a.m. the morning of the midnight launch and told me there were two spots left in line if I wanted one. I only lived about a minute from the Wal-Mart he was at, so in a moment of spontaneity, I decided to go.
At about 11:00 a.m., a girl I had gone on one date with about a week prior called to see if I wanted to get some lunch. Somewhat embarrassed, I told her I couldn't because I was waiting at Wal-Mart for the Wii to launch at midnight. To this point, I had only dated girls who either didn't like video games or only had a passing interest. I thought for sure she would think I was an idiot.
About 30 minutes later, she shows up carrying a basket with sandwiches and chips. So we sat on the floor of a Wal-Mart having a picnic. She told me she'd be back around 6. Shows up with Chinese food. Another picnic on the Wal-Mart floor.
Finally make it to midnight, get the Wii, two controllers, two nunchucks, Excite Truck and Twilight Princess and go home to play with some friends. She came over too. Played Wii Sports until 2 or so before we call it a night.
That girl is now my wife.
