    I've not made any comment whatsoever on it's purpose, I've just said, the reason people don't like being called fat is because being fat is only slightly more acceptable than being a drug addict in the current cultural climate.

    Anyone who takes it too serious is absurd. It's a GAME. I mean, I played Brain Age. When I first did the age test it said I was 78. Did this offend me? No of course not, it was a game. After I got age 20 (lowest it could go) I never did the entire age test again. It is a game, not something people should take too seriously.

    And fat use to be a sign of wealth. Fat was beautiful. Honestly, I see too many people who look great with their weight, that think they're fat. I hate when girls call themselves fat. Especially when I look at them and see they're beautiful. Of course then you have people like my roommate, who is so shallow himself about girls, but I would consider him fatter than any girl he has ever called fat. If someone goes around calling other people fat, it's because they themselves are insecure about their weight, (or the person is just obviously fat.)

    A game though? C'mon, why do people take it so seriously. I could see it being fun, though I have no intentions of getting it.

    These occasions are rare enough that I can assume all things said are directed at me.

    When I beat Metal Gear Solid for the first time, as an impressionable 15 year old, it graded my performance It added up every little thing I did or didn't do, and ranked me accordingly - it wasn't a great ranking, and made me feel bad about my problem-solving and hand-eye co-ordination skills.

    The same thing happened with Gran Turismo, when I came last in an A License race. They told me I came in sixth place. There were only six cars in the race, so basically they were saying I was the worst driver there.



    But in all seriousness... if a game's providing an accurate assessment of a person's fitness, then so be it. As that article said, you can be big but still fit.

    No problem. I should have used a quote anyway.

    Yes. 2 years ago, I was really short and really muscular. My PE teachers caused a bunch of fuss because BMI said I was fat.

    Odds are, you aren't going to be using Wii Fit if you're muscular.

    there's a lot of reasons why wiifit would be advantageous over going outside:

    1) hot weather
    2) cold weather
    3) rainy weather
    4) you don't have anyone else to play with
    5) you're fat and need an objective third party to hound your butt or at least keep up with your calories
    6) outside is asphalt.
    7) your shoes are broken.
    8) you're so fat you're embarassed to be seen outside your home.

    Haha, wut.

    The little stick socks are nifty.

    I'd rather play Wii Fitness on Wii Sports, rather than Wii Fit as a game itself.

    Protip: Go outside. Stop playing games if you want to really work out.

    (But if you want to improve hand-eye cord. and hand speed, by all means, powerlevel away)
