World’s Best Gaming System, Nintendo Wii
I got one of these Nintendo Wii systems today as an early Birthday present for Sarah and I from my folks.
This crazy thing is incredible. It was extremely easy to set up, and the technology is simply amazing. I love everything about it…except that the Wii Fit told me that I’m 15 pounds overweight and that my Body Mass Index is at unhealthy levels.
I quickly told it to shut up, because it is not even real…it then made me promise to lose 1.2 pounds every two weeks for the next 6 months so that I can live an optimal, healthy life.
I made the promise and stamped my start date (today) on the Wii digital calendar. I then apologized to my Wii for telling it to shut up. Wii told me not to worry about it and that most slightly obese people have the same negative reaction as I did. Wii and I are friends again.
After we kissed and made up, Wii and I played baseball, tennis, bowling, running, hula-hoop, and we even did some light boxing. (I held my own, but came away with a puffy left eye and a swollen cheek.) I’ll get um next time though!

Hi, I saw you on the Keg of Wisdom site. Very funny article! We purchased a Wii for my son for Christmas and I have been getting one hell of a workout! Great for getting the whole family involved

For a SERIOUS workout, get a buddy and have some Wii boxing matches. You’ll feel like you were run over by a heard of wildebeasts the next day.

Well seeing as how you and the Wii have only just met, I certainly hope you didn’t exchange any tongue or body fluids.
Seriously, it a pretty good gaming system, one that requires more from you than just having to sit in front of the box. Careful you don’t overdo it as I have heard of people getting RSI from it.

I love the Wii. Other gamers, who don’t remember why they started playing games in the first place dislike the Wii, but there’s a reason why Nintendo is the undisputed king of videogames again. They are delivering a product that WORKS.
I love the virtual console, where I can fire up Super Mario 3, and then turn around and play countless other games without even getting off of my couch.

The Wii is the best game system I have ever played. It doesn’t have the best graphics, but it has some of the most enjoyable games I have yet to play.

The wii has been a great system for me that’s helped me have fun, get friends having a good time, and keep healthy :). Some of the games require a little physical exertion while others do wonders for multiplayer.
You’ll have to keep us posted on how you perform on wii fit!

I’ve went from 178 to 177 with two weeks of Wii fun! At this rate I’ll weight a buck ten next year and will have to worry about the wind blowing me away.
Thanks for stopping by Horace!
