Well after my battle for a Wii I spent most of last night playing Wii Sport with Family. My brother managed to get a Wii early this week. We spent about 2 hours driving around to all teh Target, Walmart, Game Stop stores in the area to pickup more controllers.
My sister in law called one of the Walmarts who said they had 8 Wii controllers. We drive over, only to find that a women bought ALL OF THEM!!! WTF?!?! This Walmart also had a Wii for sale.(Almost bought another one just for the controller, but I didn’t). Who would have thought that getting a Wii would be easier then a Wii controller.
Anyway, while playing plenty of Bowling and Tennis, I started to feel my elbow hurt. We must have played over 100 games of bowling. (Wii RULES!)
This morning I begain to streech my arm and notice that I was very tense. I noticed that others have felt my pain. While I was not playing Wii Sport, I popped in RedSteel and started to play. I also notice that playing the wii requires me to stand up the entire time.
After playing a couple of rounds of boxing I can definely see how people are losing weight playing the Wii.
I know I am out of shape, but now I feel it more then ever. I guess I need to start playing more and trade my Keg in for a 6 pack!
For all those people who don’t have a Wii. GO GET ONE TODAY, its AWESOME!!!
[...] Video Games have always been a part of my generation, but they are now growing to other more “older” generations. As many of you know I had to Social Engineer a Wii only to receive the Wii Elbow from all that intensive playing. The DailyTech is reporting that Wii Invades Retirement Home. Yes our Grandparents are playing the same video games that our generation and younger generations are enjoying. Nintendo has build a video game system that is now for ALL AGES. Its funny to think that people at a retirement home are not only using the Wii for exercise but also for social interactions among residents. I think it is time to start getting some Wii Bowling shirts and hosting a Grandparent, Grandchild Wii Sport Event! Who’s with me? [...]
