Figured out my problem, it was lighting. Second light from the opposite angle and all of a sudden, I could move the left side. The pinball is awesome. Trust me, the hardest thing to is to just stay still. But I could play that a lot. And I did. For about 45 minutes today. Wii 101 indeed. I feel like I can rip phone books apart now. I got to level 2, and I got an achivement (10 pts), so I know I am going in the right direction with this game.

And now for World Series Of Poker:

A very, very good POKER game. Yes, Texas Hold'em is there, but so is my desired Seven Card Stud. And about 6 other poker variations. Still going through the game itself, but the camera is used well in this game. I snapped off my photo in the camera (front and side) and got a pretty good rendered version of me. I have to adjust some color, and maybe a different set of clothes, but I really did like the model making in this game. It only took about 10 mintues to get my character made. The game itself is more than acceptable. The "thinking" is well done, and the game is very nice looking. Custom soundtracks too, so I was playing Nile and Entombed while hanging out with other folks (Single Player). I can see where XBL would be fun here, with real models of real people being seen for all to enjoy. This is 30 USD this week at BB and worth every cent.

And I am trying to acquire a Cabela's for testing. That game has dog sledding, fishing, deer hunting, and bird shooting. I am sure there is more to be found out about it. It is also 30 USD at BB this week.

So don't think the new titles suck this week, because actually they don't.

I just wish they had a sensitive control setting for the camera in this game.  This game would have been so sweet playing it against someone online.  I played it whilst chatting to a friend and he was playing it too.  It was great, all the pain we were going through and getting nowhere at all.  Afterwards I did manage to get to level 2, but I think I need to make my totemball jump, and I haven't figured that out yet.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=153205" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Arcade: TotemBall</title><link>http://majornelson.com/archive/2006/10/04/Arcade-TotemBall.aspx#153170</link><pubDate>Thu, 05 Oct 2006 03:39:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">055c7c12-9f8e-4800-85f1-aebaf66ea7d8:153170</guid><dc:creator>Fool Throttle</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;This is pretty awful. The demo video is very accurate. I wish I had sent the camera back. &amp;nbsp; Why design games for camera controls that would be better with a controller? &amp;nbsp;Or, in the case of pinball, a pair of buttons? &amp;nbsp;Let's see some games that use the camera more creatively. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just incase you didnt already know. :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=153162" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Arcade: TotemBall</title><link>http://majornelson.com/archive/2006/10/04/Arcade-TotemBall.aspx#153158</link><pubDate>Thu, 05 Oct 2006 02:23:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">055c7c12-9f8e-4800-85f1-aebaf66ea7d8:153158</guid><dc:creator>SidearmS</dc:creator><description>Ok, I grabbed it and Carbon, so here we go:

This game thinks I am a stroke victim. The left side detection for me was almost non-existant. The right side was fine, I could control the right "log" well enough, but the left side was just awful. I mean, I was twitching my fingers, dipping my wrists, making streaks, and just being a spaz on the left side to pretty no avail. The hands things to pause did not work for me at all.

Do I need to remove all controlers? Does the camera need to be in USB slot 1? I got the camera itself correctly setup, no problems there.

Any help would be appriciated. Thanks for the game!

Graphically, the game was fine for me. XBLA title, so I was happy with it in that regard.

I remember all the crazy stuff they had me do in the army to cause pain. One of the self tortures was to hold out you arms for an extended period of time. This game really reminds me of that. Its like a double whammy you look stupid and it hurts like hell. Americans should use this game to torture detainees.
     Look I love the Camera and all but I bought it for making 3d models of myself in games. I am sure I will use the camera in video chat when my friends scrounge up the money to buy one.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=153147" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Arcade: TotemBall</title><link>http://majornelson.com/archive/2006/10/04/Arcade-TotemBall.aspx#153110</link><pubDate>Wed, 04 Oct 2006 22:38:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">055c7c12-9f8e-4800-85f1-aebaf66ea7d8:153110</guid><dc:creator>arsenic</dc:creator><description>i got amputated today , so i cant play : (&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=153110" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Arcade: TotemBall</title><link>http://majornelson.com/archive/2006/10/04/Arcade-TotemBall.aspx#153076</link><pubDate>Wed, 04 Oct 2006 21:19:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">055c7c12-9f8e-4800-85f1-aebaf66ea7d8:153076</guid><dc:creator>BillDoE</dc:creator><description>Nice.
