My house recently bought yet another Wii golf game by the name of Tiger Woods pga tour 12, which can be found here http://www.ea.com/tiger-woods/wii if you actually want to take a gander at it. Now, normally I would completely disregard a game such as this because I think sports games on a console of any variety is so boring that my eyes start to drift shut before the disk has even been devoured by those insatiable machines. Somehow, however, I was roped into playing this game (No, seriously. Roped. They tied me to the couch and threatened to burn my embarrassingly large comic book collection 'twere I to show any signs of not cooperating.). Much to my intense surprise, it was actually decent. And by decent, I mean that I didn't want to gouge my eyes out and eat them after ten minutes of playtime. So, I suppose that's a start. Kadien even got me to wave the Wii remote about for a bit, and I gleaned some small measure of satisfaction when that traitorous little golf ball clinked around in the hole.
The one thing that really tickled me, however, was the caddie. His side comments made me snigger to myself whenever he opened his droll mouth and let fly a phrase or two that could easily be misconstrued. An example is the comic for today. The caddie actually does tell you to "attack the hole" at one point, and I couldn't help but imagine Kadien lunging onto the green, his eyes alight with murderous rage. Moe, of course, makes for a fitting caddie in this circumstance, since she tends to dictate our lives with terrifying competence. (I just can't wait 'till the Ides of March. She'll be getting a nasty surprise then, make no mistake. I already have my toga at the ready and a gladius resting at my bedside...)
