OMG, Wii Fit!
The Wii fit arrived yesterday. I've played it a few times before, and have experienced firsthand the creepy noise it makes when you step on the balance board ("ooh!"), the way it forces you to set fitness "goals" and the way it makes comments such as "wow, balance isn't your strong suit, is it?" The Wii Fit is kind of an asshole. Nevertheless, it's an asshole that provides feedback on how well you are doing certain exercises, and allows you to pair certain exercises in conjunction with another for a better workout. It measures results and is fun, rather than repetitive and boring. A good tool, or so I imagined.
Well! Tool is CERTAINLY the right term! Garvin just logged in and it asked him "What do you think about Stepho's posture lately?" The Wii GOSSIPS between users! And not only that, he had to ENTER IN HIS ANSWER. Meaning when I log in, it's going to say something snotty like "sooo, Garvin thinks your posture sucks. Maybe you should do more yoga."
Furthermore, the Wii is connected to other Wiis via the internet. I wonder if our Wii is chatting with Jeli's Wii. "Did you know that Stepho always chooses +4 pounds for her clothes, even when she's in her underwear?" "Yeah! Sue/Jen/Ali does the same thing!"
Ha ha ha! Garvin just stepped on and it told him he gained three pounds (probably from drinking two large glasses of water right before stepping on.) He just had to enter a reason and listen to a lecture on Base Metabolic rate. Ha ha ha ha ha! Serves you right, Gossipy McGossips!
I wonder if, when it asks me to explain my bad balance, I can enter in "cat insists on sitting on left side of balance board?"
