Companies throw these types of parties for people to sample the game console and start some buzz about it. I wrote last time about the PlayStation 3 release party, and these types parties are really hard to get into. Normally, a bunch of celebrities come out because it's a huge production: free drinks, gift bags with a Nintendo Wii in it, and huge monitors to play the game on. Basically they give you the works. The Nintendo Wii is an interactive game console.You actually box or play tennis or Zelda. Instead of just pressing buttons, you are throwing punches and hitting balls. It's like the future of gaming. It could really get the couch potato off his butt and actually do something active. We weren't on the list for this one, but decided to go anyway. Ricky and I are really good at finding our way into parties. Usually, I know someone or Ricky does. When we got to the party, we walked up to the red carpet and the girl working it said, "Miz thanks for coming. We were hoping you'd make it." In my head I'm thinking I didn't get a call, e-mail or text for this party, so this girl was totally feeding me crap. I really didn't care though, because it got us into the party. I walked the red carpet, which I can't stand; I never know what to do. At least this time the cameras were going off and the photographers were screaming, "over here, over here." I actually enjoyed the carpet because the paparazzi were actually helping me out saying, "give me this pose, head down," and stuff like that. You can tell I'm not the red carpet kind of person. Paris Hilton really does have talent; she's good on the carpet. We finished walking the red carpet and finally made it inside. The place was decked out with two huge monitors with models playing the games on stage. It's funny watching the models play the games because they were trying to play all sexy, but how do you box someone sexy? Celebrities were everywhere at this place. As soon as I walked in, I saw Borat's sidekick, Azmat (Ken Davithan). I was psyched, went up to him, and told him how much I enjoyed the movie. He was very gracious. As I was getting ready to beat Ricky's ass in boxing, Justin Timberlake walked in. Ricky and I were so into this game, that I didn’t get a chance to say anything. I have never been so tired from playing a video game. I was talking like Muhammad Ali and floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee before we even started playing. It brought a bunch of people over to us so they could watch. After I TKO'd Ricky in the second round, everyone wanted to play against me. I said no, because I was undefeated. The real reason was I didn’t accept the challenge was that I think I pulled a back muscle punching air so hard. Walking around I saw more and more celebrities, like Shane West,(ER) Adam Brody,(The O.C.) Marlon Wayans and John Hensley, the son on Nip/Tuck. I even started talking to five Los Angeles Lakers cheerleaders. There was this one, incredible, exactly my type: blonde hair, blue eyes, with an athletic build, and I actually didn't get annoyed talking to her. Hell, I wasn't even talking to her to begin with, but somehow she ended up singling me out. I never meet girls in LA I enjoy talking to, so I thought it was great. Most of the time girls look over my shoulder to see if there are more important people to talk to. Not this one though. While talking about random things, she snuck in the “boyfriend†line and my heart dropped. That's just my luck with women. I meet one and am like “wow, this girl is great,†and something always has to happen. We still talked for awhile after that and she even said to look for her if I'm ever at a game. I imagine she wouldn't be hard to miss. I didn't even ask for her digits, because I didn't want to think she was the cheating type, nor do I want to be that guy. Yeah I have no game. Thanks for the reminder. Kinda sucks because I wouldn't mind talking to her again. All in all, this party was incredible. Out of all the new game systems, this one was my favorite. I like the whole idea that I'm physically playing the video game. My favorite part had to be the next day when someone told me that on wireimage.com, where paparazzi post their pictures, my pictures were up and the name underneath was "The BIZ." Of course, this happens the one time I didn't mind the red carpet. These are the reasons I try to avoid the carpet. Until next time, be good. Be bad. BE MIZ!!! HOO RAH!!! The Miz And they even have a link to it on the homepage.
