Screw it, I'm buying Wii Fit
covah | 2:00 PM on 05.20.2008 14 comments




For a while now, I've been debating whether or not to drop the $90 on a copy of Wii Fit. And I've decided this: fuck it, I'm going to. Am I expecting to be entertained by Wii Fit as I would be any other game? No. Am I expecting to be pleasantly surprised? A bit.

I am also not expecting this to be the saving grace of my health. After the first year of college, before I even got home, I decided I needed to start working off those nights. In case you're wondering what those nights are, drink two 40s of Olde English, then try to walk around down town Boston trying to climb a giant head statue near the river. Yeah. I need to get back in shape is what I'm trying to say. I'm not fat or anything, I am just trying to get ahead of myself and deciding to take better care of myself now instead of later when it will be hard.

While I've been lifting and riding my bike, I am really curious to see how much Wii Fit will contribute to my work out regiment. Hell, I've been playing Wii Sports boxing for nearly a hour to use as a warm up. Like I said I'm not expecting Wii Fit to be the saving grace of my health, I just really want to try it out. Because lets face it, it will probably at least help and will be a good way of keeping track of shit.

I wanted to say I commend Nintendo for taking risks, but I'm not sure anything Nintendo does is a risk anymore. People are going to buy this, that is with out a doubt. And I will be waking up at 6:30 tomorrow morning to go to Walmart thanks to Gamestop stopping pre orders before I got home.

if i was going to get it, I'd wait till the eventual gamestop returns from people bored with it or upset at it calling them fat. which ever comes first.

George is curious. Too many banannas has me looking like Donkey Kong. I'll be buying this game tonight at midnight if Wal-mart allows it.

I too feel the pain of alcohol related fitness issues thats why I got it when it came out in the UK. I was genuinely surprised with it, I'm sweating!, and whilst my routine is slipping now I am still trying to use it regularly. Though I don't need to lose weight I still have a goal of being able to touch my toes again.

Do I want this? No, thank you.
Am I out of shape? Yes, but not grossly
Do I need Nintendo (a company that I've loved since childhood) to tell me that I'm fat? No.
Will I buy a balance board if they release Police 911 or whatever it's called? Yes
Will I stop asking myself questions in my comments? Yes
When will that be? When I feel like it.
How are you? I'm tired and bored at a job that I hate.
Will people think you're retarded for doing this? If they see it.
Are you excited about the Cincinatti NARP? HELL YEAH!
Is George curious? Yes, stupid
Are you ever leaving? Yes

I just might get WiiFit. But not before I get some instruments for Rock Band.
