The above video, in which a kid gets a Wii for Christmas morning, was unearthed by The Tech Herald. 'This is going to be adorable', I thought, having just assembled my own gallery of adorable moments of Wii-induced excitement.

But this is on video. Video isn't necessarily as cute because a) it's going to have sound -- shrieking, ear-splitting, brain-assaulting sound -- and b) it's not a neatly sliced frozen image that you can admire as you would a painting. There are a couple of moments in there where I'm pretty sure I can see evidence of a demonic possession. Also, I think I know this kid. I'm pretty sure I get seated next to him every time I go to a restaurant.

The Tech Herald entry also showed another video of a couple of kids having an N64-induced Christmas morning freak out.

Which just goes to show that the more things change, the more things stay the same.
