Wiimotions!

Yeah, the battery thing is a pain, I was really hoping for some sort of docking/recharge deal for the controllers (probably to come later).
The fact that people are angry about having to move their wrists a little illustrates a great many things wrong with today. As a child I would gladly move my wrist and arm to beat other children with rocks/sticks/snowballs or whatever was handy when we ran around like coke addicted lemmings just let out of a sanitarium, now we deplore the usage of a slight wrist movement, or even more if we have fun and become immersed in the game we are playing and have fun... the horror!! *mock gasp*

You need a fairly open space to swing your arm (even slightly) and such, and that's something I literally do not have.

You said you literally don't have it, which must mean you literally don't have it. Which is something I literally don't believe. Unless you live in a cardboard box (which I'm assuming you don't, because you mentioned other systems), I'm pretty sure you literally have enough space to make simple hand motions. I mean, if you literally didn't have the space, how would you stand up, make dinner, or any other myriad examples that serve my cause in disbelieving that you literally don't have enough room to move your arms. Unless you're penguin walking with a stooped back through an entire house that's no larger than your entire arm span, I have to humbly suggest that you're exaggerating. And then humbly suggest that you find another place to live.

Although I didn't like it, I literally gave it my all when performing a physical activity on a regular basis. It didn't make me any more co-ordinated, speedy, or successful. Effort is meaningless.

And what meaning does sitting motionless, staring at the TV, and drooling from the corners of your mouth have?

True, no everyone can press a button, but far more people can press a button 50 times rather than swing a weapon 50 times in the same timeframe.

Just like far more people can -pretend- to run a mile than actually -run- one. But, in the end, which one would you be bragging about? Don't answer that.

But swing a Wii controller a thousand times and your wrists will be sore. Hold it in place for a while and your arm will get sore.

This is where I have to conclude you're joking. You know, if you stay on the computer too long, your wrist might get sore. If you eat too much candy your jaw might get sore. If you sit too long, your back might get sore. If you stand too long, your legs might get sore.

Does the act of moving around really offend you to such an extent?

...what?

I mean you're saying, what, your physiology works completely differently than that of every person alive? I mean, what?

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it Silver, sex is hugely overrated.

All these lazy people posting on this thread bitching about how they are actually forced to get some exercise while playing the wii. I've got one piece of advice for them....DON"T GET A F*$&ING WII!!! If you are so pissed off about having to actually do something while playing video games, then don't get the system. I for one am looking forward to finally having access to a fun way to exercise and will try to play wii tennis every day just solely for the exercise portion of it. Once I can get a hold of a wii that is.

Anyway, closing - a hundred posts of this is probably enough.

Let's not do another one of these for a while, guys? I don't think this horse is getting any deader.
