Bully: Scholarship Edition
This entry was posted on March 16, 2008
Ever since I got my Wii at Christmas, I’ve been determined to have fun with it. One of the reasons the novelty of my PS2 wore off was that it just wasn’t enough fun. Eventually, I got bored. With my Wii, however, I have not once been bored with it.
One of the first things I did on my Wii was make my Mii, and you can see MiiRachael over on the right. It’s almost like looking in the mirror, except I have better proportions in real life.
Over the past few months I’ve bought some new games for my Wii, the newest being Bully: Scholarship Edition. The trailer for the game makes it look quite violent and at first I was a bit unsure about the game, but after having played it for a little while I have completely changed my mind.
The game centres around the character of Jimmy who is the new kid in a boarding school. He has a past reputation of being a bully and thus some of the students at the new school have it in for him. It’s all rather fascinating.
One of the things that shocked me with this game was just how easy it was to be violent. It’s quite a ‘free’ game in that you’re free to roam around the school grounds and interact with other students. The nunchuck and the wiimote are both used in this game, and as such, you can literally walk up to anyone and punch them in the face. I’m not a violent person, and I don’t like violent games, so that was a bit shocking for me to experience. However, if you punch people it’ll get you in trouble. Punch enough people and the school prefects will come and lynch you.
I’m now on a mission to make Jimmy be a reformed bully. From now on he’s going to be nice and not get in trouble. He’ll defend himself, yes, but he won’t go looking for fights. Well, unless I’m bored and need to release some stress, but that’s just horrible. Violence is wrong. Don’t hit people.

Well, there goes that lampshade…

Yes, I got a Wii for Christmas. Thank you very much, Santa! I have Wii Sports, Mario Olympics, and The Golden Compass games, although I’m after recommendations for games to buy. What would you suggest?
I was playing Tennis on Wii sports this morning, and I was really getting into it. It was like I was actually at Wimbledon. Well, it was until it started raining bits of lampshade. For little did I know, but I’d destroyed half the lampshade in the overhead light while I lifted my hand to smash the ball back at the opponent. To add insult to injury, I didn’t even win the game.
Whoops!

My Christmas List
This entry was posted on November 8, 2007
In general I think Christmas is far too materialistic, but sometimes material items are good! I’m fortunate enough to have pretty much everything I’ve ever wanted, so this year my Christmas list is really small!
I have a laptop, but it’s never ever left my house. I also do have a laptop bag, which I rarely use because of course my laptop never leaves the house. I do keep my laptop in its bag when it’s in the house. Technically I don’t have a use for this bag, but look at the pattern! It’s so much fun!
It’s Gerard Way! As a bear! I already have an Andy Hurley action figure, but this Gerard bear is the cutest thing ever! I love it, and I want it very much. Please, Santa?
I lost my wii-ginity this last weekend, and I’ve changed my mind. I no longer want a Wii, I need one! Playing on the wii was the most fun I’ve had in a long time. It’s completely different to any other games console I’ve played on because you don’t use the controller in the normal way. There’s no concentrating on pressing this button here and that button there; you just point the remote at what you want to do, and it does it!
These pictures all link to websites you can buy the items from. Feel free to send them addressed to: Rachael. Rachael’s House. England.
