A little lighter

After almost 3 months of not touching (or stepping on) the Wii Balance Board, I was again tempted to try it. You know, just to check how I did.

And the latest report? I'm now around 126 lbs. Last time, I was hovering around 132, which is weird because I thought I was gaining some. Apparently that white mascot knew better, telling me with that magic BMI counter that I'm nearing the underweight level. This does not pose a concern for me 'cause I've always been underweight, only now at the age of 24, it's getting a little long in the tooth. I'm 5'8" before any of you ask.



MadHeadache (vroom, chainsaw, vroom)

I just played the brief tutorial level of MadWorld and within that period, I was already having a headache with all the squinting I have to do just to make out what's out there. Good thing there are yellow signposts dotting the scene because I can't distinguish a heap of metal with an enemy at a distance. It's fun to play, don't get me wrong. I liked the combo system (tire+sign+trash bin = lol) and the overall style, but I have to train my eyes a bit first before I can enjoy the whole package.

There's something strange with the wiimote configuration

I don't know if I'm late noticing it, but with the two games I recently played (Resident Evil Remake Wiimake and MadWorld), I notice that I'm missing a regular controller. There's something unnatural with the way you hold the remote + nunchuk combo, as if your hands are doing two different things. There are questionable control configuration in both games (C or Z to run in RE, Z to jump in MW), but they're noticeable only when you go look for it. It just feels strange.

Anyway, MadWorld fan art later this week; I'm still waiting if I'm going to love it or not.
