Wiikend Update: The sad thing is, a week ago I was totally dismissive of reports of “wii shoulder.” Now? My right rotator cuff is killing me. And we didn’t even play that much! We played for like two hours on Thursday night, and not at all on Friday (since I was at the shop all night). I played maybe two more hours on Saturday. And today my arm kills! It was the tennis. I’m a little bit addicted.
Anyway, today we had Andrew and Kathleen and Steph and Eva over for a little Wii-B-Q action. Kathleen got right into the boxing, as evidenced by the photo below. Steph also worked up quite a sweat knocking out his opponent. Andrew played it much cooler. The six of us had a great time working our way through the various Wii Sports and Wii Play games. (I think my new favorite is the Wii Play where you ride a cow and knock down scarecrows.)
Many, many drinks later (and after I tried rather unsuccessfully to convert Eva to my love of High School Musical)… the guests went home and the Snook and I fired up the Legend of Zelda again. We’ve decided to play it together and take turns trying to take one character through to the end. We’ve just made it through the “village” bit and we’ve somehow turned into a wolf. (?) It’s starting to get spooky…
One response
I’ve been told by someone who has a wii that in the games like baseball and such, the measures are from the start and stop times that you move the controller.
This guy says that basically all you have to do is flick the controller and you can increase speeds and not injure yourself (or the TV).
I’m just wondering if that would be helpful to your sore arm or what. Though I think it might take a little of the fun out of it!
