Okay, so I’ve been playing the Wii for the past two days straight. I never realized I was that out of shape. It’s kind of funny, in the Wii Sports game, they have a fitness test, (whereas 20 being the best), and I scored an age of 53. But, in my defence, I had been up for 36 hours and just left work when I did this the first time. I’ll have to try it again today sometime.

So anyway, I’ve been kicking ass in Bowling and Golf. Boxing and Tennis are a fucking workout, let me tell ya. That shit kicked my ass, and is probably one of the reasons I am so sore right now. And i think my plans to join a gym this spring are no longer needed. I can work up a good sweat just playing video games now. Surprisingly, I don’t really care for the Baseball game. Not sure why.

I also got Excite Truck for it. That game is friggin sweet. You hold the wiimote horizontally, gripping with both hands, and use it as your virtual steering wheel. BAD.ASS.

Now, of course, being the nerd I am, I couldn’t stop there. I also downloaded the drivers to use the wiimote on my computer as my mouse. Works pretty good, but I need the wireless IR bar before I can use it for practical purposes.

I’ve also made a couple Mii’s of me, as well as (attempted to) copy some of the work I’ve seen of the net. I made my own versions of Jason (Friday the 13th), The Crow, and a very crappy looking version of Batman. And I’ve only just begun….

Now all I really need is come extra Wiimotes, but since they’re all on fricking recall due to the crappy wriststraps, we’ve had to share just my one wiimote. I also put in the request for my replacement wriststraps. It’s kind of funny, as Nintendo will offer to send you 1-4 wriststraps. Who would order just 1? Why not order as many as possible? They’re free! Anyway, I’ve been getting paranoid as hell lately with just the crappy wriststrap, wiping my sweaty hand every single chance I can get, becouse I’m pretty sure my TV’s Service Plan doesn’t cover any flying Wiimotes. I think I’m gonna thread a couple loops of my spider fishing line through it just in case until the new ones get here.

Alright, I’ll stop talking now. I’m gonna play with my Wii.

(yes, I wrote it like that intentionally, perverts)
