haha this is hilarious. Wii-fit games and move games are hardly a proper form of exercise, I could get more exercise just walking around the house and going upstairs and downstairs.


doing stairs is really good cardio, so thats an unfair comparison


but my point is, why pay money for that stuff when you could just walk up and down the stairs... if people really wanted to lose weight they could just walk/run



"They will know heghan belongs to the helghast"

"England expects that everyman will do his duty"

"we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender"

Because running and walking gets boring for most people?

People are more likely to stick with an exercise program if it's fun when they do it.

yeah,using wii fit or move stuff isn't really a serious exercise program. I'm all for people getting off their asses and actually doing some exercise but when people say they're using that to lose weight,I just can't take them seriously.

British parliament = democracy

democracy is the majority vote giving power to politicians.

In gaming, buying a console is casting your vote

So to a politician......it makes sense that the Wii is better......it was voted the most this gen :)



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Ironically ms Abbott is obese. She also has a fat mouth and is generally very annoying. One of those very typical socialists that knows what's best for everyone else....

nailed it.
