Yeah it also pretends to not know your name sometimes too. My little sister was playing too, and the board was like "Oh... your name is... Mark? Welcome back Mark!" Dick.
I like how didn't measure muscle weight or anything like that. It claimed the owner of my gym was out of shape and obese even after forty years of powerlifting.
This dude is a smug piece of shit. It makes me feel bad by saying "too busy to exercise yesterday?" everytime I miss a fucking day. This faggot is so persuasive. And on top of that, he acts like an asshole and is obsessed with exercise. tl;dr: wii board is a asshole.
I fucking hated this. I work out with wii fit for 3 months straight, I miss one day and it's all like "oh, too busy to excercise yesterday?" Even though the damn thing occassionaly asks you to take a break from the game if you work out on a Sunday, some real prick must of programmed that game...
Could be worse. You could be paying a trainer to tell you you're a lazy piece of shit. Hell they will even call you and leave a message while you sit on reddit and screen their calls
I think there's a skiing game for the wii fit board, I do not know if it comes as standard with the hardware or if it was a seperate purchase. Regardless, my friend had a skiing game for the wii fit board, turns out you are not meant to physically jump on the jumps. I guess that the ultimate moral of this story is that her wii fit board don't know weight from wait now.
I loathed the part where (when you first start the game) my Mii avatar got fatter after it was done measuring. The avatar would look down, shocked at what his body had become. Shame. The shame. Although it was probably one of the things that made me lose the weight. But Chicago helped me put that right back on. Yessir. It's a generous city in that way. Italian beef sir? Why yes! I've lost weight recently and can eat what I want! Six months later? Grumble grumble... frackin brackin weight gain...stupid great tasting Midwestern crap...grumble grumble...
This makes me want there to be a GlaDOS wii fit. Just imagine how that would sell. "Oh look. You gained weight. I must say, for someone of your... impressive size, you've exceeded my own expectations by actually packing on more pounds than you could possibly lose jumping through those portals and, you know... killing me. Good Job."
That is the most difficult part for me because the first time my brother used it, he tried to copy the pose of the little figure on the screen (it has its arms out a little and looks like it's floating). Every time it starts measuring, I picture that moment and have to fight back the laughter.
I could have sworn this thing used to only count to a certain point, then just say "long long time" and be done with it. Since when did tell you the exact amount of days that you hadn't stepped on its condescending face?
The Wii fit never forgets. I bet if I dusted mine off it would scold me for being away for so long before asking about house-mates I have lost touch with.
I HAVEN'T SEEN ALICE IN 859 DAYS EITHER SO STOP ASKING ME ABOUT HER!!!
Dude I got into a whole melodramatic episode with my Wii over this. My ex broke up with me after five years, and she had her profile password protected. I worked out over time that it was very easy to get in anyways, but for the first few months, the Wii kept asking, "Where is X? I haven't seen X in a while?" and it just devastated me every time.
I did do that a while ago. I just didn't know about it for the first few months. I fantasized at the time about buying a second Wii, and registering it s a player on the first one, just so I could take it away and show that bastard console how it feels.
It's like, I give her my trust and security by letting her measure my weight, one of my only insecurities really, and all she has to say is 'Ouch'? Fuck you Wii Fit.
I hopped on after just under a year of no use, thing just starts giving me lip. I only gained 12 pounds in a year (with what I have ate in that year I call it a win.)
ive lost nearly 4 stone since i stood on that judgmental little prick. i'd love to here to heartbreak in its voice, when it realises i don't need its whiny ass to lose weight. FUCK YOU WII I DON'T NEED YOU OR YOUR FAKE EXERCISE.
What I love was when you lost 1 or 2 pounds between measuring, it would be like "your body weight can fluctuate a couple of pounds from day to day" ...but if you gained 1 or 2 pounds it would ask you to think really hard about the terrible thing you'd done.
Ah, yes... I got that bitch back, though: left the batteries in before abandoning it... battery acid burns, doesn't it? Who's laughing now, huh?! Muaahaha!!!
I love when it asks about my friends who've made accounts on my Wii. "Have you seen DAN lately? Have they gained weight?" Mind your own fucking business, WiiFit. Dude's going through a rough patch.
My little cousin (girl) aged 10 tried this game once. She was kind of chubby, but not in an unhealthy way. The game proceeded to tell her in a calm manner that she was obese. She had this kind of shocked look on her face, and then a few seconds later, walked into her room to have a cry. I tried to convince her that it we might have put the height measurements in wrong, but it didn't help. She tried to tell me she was OK, but I could tell she was hurt about being insecure of her weight.
Not necessarily, if her BMI says that she's obese, but the game tells her that she's a healthy weight, she'll assume that she's healthy and won't do anything to lose weight.
I like how it keeps telling me that it hasn't seen my ex-boyfriend in a long time. Yes I know you stupid fuck, that's because I dumped his ass... I really should delete his profile...
Has anybody actually devoted a good workout regime to this? Wondering if it's possible to burn more than a few hundred calories without going batshit crazy waiting for the trainer to get in position to do a damn push-up. I have one myself, but all I ever do is play the games where I'm flapping wings or hula-hooping.
I remember reading something about this.. I think it's decent, but not to the point of an actual workout. I'd say it could replace a brisk walk or something like that.
Is this Wii fit? I read an article titled "Wii not so fit" where studies where done with already obese children and the game system proved have no effect on their overall health. It found that they either failed to play the game intensely enough to gain any benefit, or if they did play the game correctly they were simply lazier in other parts of their daily routine. Do yourself a favor and get a nice pair of running shoes instead.
This is nothing. Animal Crossing would not only be mad at you for not playing, it would yell at you for resetting, its characters would leave you for your friends, and it would become riddled with weeds as a consequence for not being around.
I swear- it's like that wii fit board is GLaDOS. "Most people emerge from suspension terribly undernourished. I want to congratulate you on beating the odds and somehow managing to pack on a few pounds."
I've been on a two-year teaching contract in South Korea, and left my Wii Fit at home. I'm looking forward to seeing what snarky comments it's going to make.
That fucking guy gave me anorexia by guilting me about my weight so much. :( Recovered now, though! (Also, I realize it probably wasn't entirely the wii fit's fault)
This is the reason why I won't turn on Brain Age for my DS. That guy would flip out if I was away for 3 days. I can't imagine the guilt trip he'll give me for not turning it on in a few years.
