Geoff Keighley didn't stand a chance. Nor did the Secretary of State or Grace Jones.

Thanks to "Wario Ware: Smooth Moves" I now know that I can beat all of them in virtual arm-wrestling... or at least I can beat computer-controlled avatars of them. That's some sort of victory.

My Multiplayer blog entry today tells the tale (with pictures) of my "Wario"-assisted arm-wrestling feats. The bigger point is that my Mii -- and by extension I -- have been the star of several Wii games that I've played. And I'm enjoying that. I wouldn't mind seeing myself star in more games. And I'm wondering if other people feel the same way (not about me starring in their games, but their own Miis getting the lead role).

Is it the novelty? Am I so vain? Or is this appealing because it's one character running through all these games, from "Wii Sports" to "Wario Ware" to "Wii Play"?

(If you're reading this entry after the week I posted it, you'll have to flip through the multiplayer.mtv.com site back to the Jan 17 entry)
