After playing until late into the night, I would browse the weather channel, searching for places on Earth experiencing thunderstorms. Clicking on the icon would play a short audio sample of thunder. The whole thing was overflowing with personality and charm. Wii remains my favourite video game system of all time, and I've owned them all—from nuon to gamepark and back.

My wife and I spent a lot of time on the Everybody Votes channel.

She was way more in touch with what the general populace voted on than I was and frequently picked the option that turned out to be popular in our region.

Such a unique game console.
