Wii Internet

The Internet on the Wii is mediocre. It is laggy but playable for some games. Brawl with lag makes the game frustrating and nearly unplayable, trying aim the dragoon is ridiculous. Opera Browser is good but your access to the Internet is hampered by the dead weight of Flash 7. It is a flash player but they are up to flash player 10. There reasoning is that they do not want kids to view harmful sites and that understandable but they also have parental control options. It is not all that bad because it can support YouTube. However the typing is pretty awkward and sometimes really stupid, if you want to find something quickly and hitting 2 to go to single column mode is moronic because you have to wait an hour for it to load single column and then an hour to go back to regular view. It isn't the worst thing you can have and it is a decent substitute for an actual computer but it needs to be able to have at a recent flash player.

Actually, the licensing for Flash 10 is a heckuva lot, and Flash 7 was just cheaper.

The Wii Internet Browser is pretty good, especially if you hook up a USB keyboard. It's fast if you have good internet.

I hate games in general that lag. When you get used to playing a game at full speed and its gets choppy, Then you tend to get aggravated. By the way you blogs look good. I UPDATED my blog. Thanks for that comment.
