Another one of the conversations between myself and the WiiFit, transcribed for your enjoyment.
The Biggest Game Ever
How did this niche racing game make a gameworld so massive, and why is that a big deal?
Grand Theft Auto Retrospective
This series began as a cheap little 2D overhead game and grew into the most profitable entertainment product ever made. I have a love / hate relationship with the series.
Borderlands Series
A look at the main Borderlands games. What works, what doesn't, and where the series can go from here.
Marvel's Civil War
Team Cap or Team Iron Man? More importantly, what basis would you use for making that decision?
Trusting the System
How do you know the rules of the game are what the game claims? More importantly, how do the DEVELOPERS know?
I have to admit, I lol’d at that, especially the punchline, which (apparently) is the point of said punchline. :)
Hee! I love these pieces of yours, but I have to admit I’d still like to get a WiiFit. ;D

Oddly: every time you write about the WiiFit, I think “I should get one of those…”
I got one.. Now I’m a Ski Jumping Professional.. I’m in the “normal” range.. so it’s not quite so bad.. my wife gets the “over weight” treatment.. and her Wii (Avatar) swells up after her “Body Test” (weigh in)..
I say, get it.. really.. my kids from 3yo .. to me.. at 43.9 years old (but sometimes a Wii age of under 30!) all love it.
And Shamus’ comics are dead on.. which makes the thing even better.
I do wish the redundant clicking was taken out of it.. once you’ve been trained what the things mean it gets old to be told again and again… and yes, Wii, I know I can use you to weigh other things.. quit telling me how to do it!
Anyone else having flashbacks?
“Look at you, Hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?”
*rolling so much* My family owns Wii Fit, and yes, the Wii Balance Board is a pesky, annoying little creature. Like Dave said, this stuff fits. No pun intended. ;)
