^v^ 

That is the cutest puppy ever :3

But, can someone tell me what that girl in the background is doing? She looks like shes constipated. 

You never had a picture taken where you were having an unfortunate facial expression or are you the most photogenic person eva? 

This is still the best "unfortunate expressions" picture:

.. makes us looking so stupid sometimes... :P 

"may you be blessed with fertility, may you spawn thousands of malformed disgusting minions who shall pollute time and space with their abonimable presence, sending nightmares to disturbed and unstable humans, making them shiver in paranoid fear in cold and lonely places." 

he's on something! But it could just be a freak picture where he blinked just as the lens shutter opened, who knows!?

This annoys me:

I mean how stupid is this report!

Dont the government recommend doing half an hour of excercise per day?
So a study where people use it for 24 minutes per day in week 1, then 4 minutes per day in week 2 seems pretty dumb to me! Of course its not going to improve their fitness. 

Whatever homies, go for a run you fat cunts. 

And going for a four minute run each day isnt going to help much either, is all im saying. 

depends in which direction you're aiming.

on the one side is a game that incidentally makes your more 'fit'. you play the game because it's fun.

on the other side is a computer program you follow fairly strictly that provides a limited form a entertainment as opposed to mindlessly performing your fitness routine.

one is a game, the other is not. the article treats wii fit as if it was a fitness regimen, yet tests it on people as if it's a game. that doesn't make sense. 

"Whatever homies, go for a run you fat cunts."

Seriously, who needs knee cartilage? That shit is for pussies who walk around.

But in seriousness, for most people, doing ANYTHING is an improvement over what they currently do - which is nothing. So if Wii fit gets them off the couch for even an hour a week, they should see SOME health benefit. 

Stop eating and take the dog for a walk. 

I just reworded Shambler's post. 

Run on grass?

And speaking as a dancer, knee cartilage is over-rated anyway. 

And speaking as a dancer

a pole dancer? is this the night time job, bump and grindy!?! :P 

I became a U.S. Citizen this morning. I was sworn in and I have my certificate and everything. Ready to go get my passport next! And my NASCAR goodie bag... 

Congrats btw! :D 

Canada. It's been about 5 years from start to end to get this to happen. Woot! 

would be pretty cool if it had more games that were actually fun, and if they were built out into more involved levels / campaigns with all of the standard video game incentives that make you want to re-play content (high score, achievements, completeness, etc.)

For example, the skiing mode is the one that is most like a real game, but it would be nice if there was a set of real skiing levels which are long, varied, and interesting. This is probably the one game mode where i actually play it just to improve my score.

The marble-rolling games are cool, but again, needs more depth, more variety, etc. There are so many ball rolling games that are different styles, like Labyrinth, Marble Madness, etc, that you could mine for gameplay ideas.

You could add in a Bushido-Blade style samurai game where how you stand on the board determines your stance, and you use the wiimote to control your sword.

I realize that wii fit was designed and marketed with a very specific image and purpose, so making it more game-like would actually turn away the core audience. For them, the fact that it is not a game, but a self-improvement tool, is what appeals to them (see Brain Age marketing vs. Wario Ware marketing, basically the same genre of game.)

So really, someone make real games for the balance board! Just the fact that you have to stand up and shift your weight while playing makes it a workout, and people will keep playing if it's fun. 

Wouldn't allow it.
