I has a WiiFit!

 

Now I just need to get me a Wii.  Priorities, yo. But since I am using my sister’s till she goes of too Teh College and takes it, I can play it and get my own for my birthday. I will have to start all over at that point and re-unlock all the things I had previously unlocked, but it is important to set goals so whatever.

 

I love the way this thing has opinions.  You step on the board, weigh yourself, it thinks for a minute, then pronouces you Big Fat Ugly Beetle-Faced Baby-Eating O’Brien.* Then it puffs up your Mii and is like “Get to work, Tubbo.”

 

It also tells me off if I start it late at night: “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING UP, WEIRDO.”

 

Editorializing machinery.  I love it.

 

I’m liking this a lot.  I hate gyms, so it’s nice to be able to have a structured workout—however mild—in your own home—one that, unlike that ancient Jane Fonda tape we have floating around on Betamax in the basement, can give you pointers. I think I’m playing video games, and I’m exercising!

 

So far the best bit is the hula hoop game, but I also get a kick out of the yoga stuff because I picked the male trainer and when it’s loading the loading circle appears right around his batch and I just about died laughing the first time.** Although I did spend a few minutes telling him off when he told me to put my right foot on my left thigh, extend my hands upward, and stay standing on my left leg for 30-40 seconds.  That is just inviting disaster.

 

And now it’s going to yell at me if I don’t keep it up! I may wind up moving more than I ever bothered to before.  At least, I’m gonna try to make this more than a very expensive hula hoop.

 

I love Nintendo.

 

 

*Unless you are Bean, in which case it thinks for a minute, then says, “No, seriously, step on the board.”

 

**Rumors that I chanted “Look, look, look at my crotch!  Look, look, look at my crotch!” are nothing but filthy lies and slander.

*tips hat* In tribute to your uproarious posts about Bean's Adventures With WiiFit.

Male Trainer seems to bring out the MSTie in me (what doesn't?). As I pointed out above, not only did I do the "Look at my crotch!" song, I also wound up giving him a name when I talk back to the screen. Lots of names! "You're a little off-balance. If you want to work on tone and balance, I'll be here." "Any time, Crud."

Honestly, I only use the male trainer when I've decided that the next "You're a little shaky!" from the chick trainer will send me into a Joker-esque killing spree.
