If anybody here has a console that can connect to the internet, a suction dart gun, and an ordinary CRT television screen, you can take advantage of a fun little diversion I thought up today after watching my mom shoot Nerf darts at my game of Wario Ware: Smooth Moves ("No, click on that one!" *pow*).
First, make sure your dart of choice will actually stick to the TV screen when it is shot - most Nerf suction darts will work fine, as well other types of darts, but there are some kinds of darts that just plain won't stick.
Second, connect your console to the Internet. (If you've got your computer hooked up to a CRT television, all the better - you'll want a very large TV, at least 25".) Go to Google and run an image search for a dart board, a man target, or a bulls-eye. More than likely you'll get at least one result that is intended to be printed onto paper and physically shot at - we're going to eliminate the middleman (the paper) here.
Load the image in the browser, and make sure the target takes up as much of the screen as possible so you have a decent area to shoot at. (Wii Internet Channel should have a "fit width to screen" function by pressing the 2 button. The PS3 browser probably has a zoom function too. I don't believe the Dreamcast web browser does - you might have to edit the image on your computer and upload it to Imageshack, then download it to the system.)
Now that you've got a nice target on your screen, fire away. For extra creative flair (and more active movement), hide behind something and shoot from cover (e.g. your couch or a nearby wall).
