I haven’t been into video games since I was a kid. I have never beaten one. Ever. Not Mario Bros 1, not Sonic, not Zelda. So I lost interest (obviously) and since then I’ve thought that video games are huge wastes of time and money and are basically for stoopid people (it’s obvious that I don’t actually hate video games, but that I feel rejected and inadequate) . My friend Bruno lives with some junkies and they have TWO televisions and everyday is a 24 hr video game challenge. Sometimes they don’t go to class (OK, that’s totally understandable). Sometimes they don’t talk. Or eat. And sometimes they don’t even sleep. It’s like an addiction. And it’s mighty scary to see.
“Hey guys, what’s up”
“Clickclickclicktaptap”
“Got any plans tonight?”
“Pow! Shazzzam! Whirrr.”
“I’m having some girlfriends over for a pillow fight later.”
“:::animated crowd roars:::”
See what I mean? But then Nintendo came out with this and I am dy-dy-dying to test it out! The yoga part is genius. The strength training looks challenging. The only qualm I have is that the aerobic exercise looks a little half-ass to me. But a little test drive could quiet my fears. Our TV doesn’t even have DVD hook-ups, much less hook-ups for a Nintendo Wii… woe… I guess my little fantasy stops here. But if any of you have a Wii Fit please, please, PLEEAAASE let me come over and do it! The cool part is that it records your progress and you can beat your own records but I just want to try it out once. It might actually be worth saving up for… and also saving up for a TV. :::sigh:::
Until then… this little piggy will go Wii Wii Wii all the way home.
