Hehehe, excellent! Poor Wii owners, getting mentally whipped by WiiFit.

 

[ckeymel]

Hahaha the Wii Fit ones are mah fav!

Next introducing the WiiFat, the body size-sensitive version of the best-selling game. It gives no exercises more strenous than going to the refridgerator, or driving to the shop to buy cheese snacks!

The enhanced edition will order pizza for you though, might as wait for that one.

But it won't allow you to go to the door to get it! You might accidently get some exercise!

Looking at the size of the WiiFit box I wouldn't be surprised if they could get a fully functional conveyor belt into WiiFat

WiiFit: a new kind of punching bag!

Surprisingly, WiiFit is actually fun. A little too fun; you will find your arms and legs sore and stiff after a day of playing the game. Probably does wonders for me though.

That happened when I played the boxing portion of sports. Hurt my arm due to excessive punching.

Red Steel 2 also taught me that the wii can make me dizzy, just like that Metroid demo for the DS.

I found out later in life that they actually call it WiiFit Cramp. Yes, they actually have a name for it.

Really?! Never heard of it, despite the date of the forum and comic. Why would they make a product like that?

It isn't a product, it's a cramp caused by overplaying Wii games.

Oh, you meant as a diagnosis. Makes sense.
