So over the Weekend I've played my Wii a fair amount, and I've noticed something. my arms a freaking sore! As a guy who generally gets only a little exercise, and not much upper-body work, I'm finding Wii sports, in particular boxing and baseball, to be exceptionally taxing on my unprepared muscular tissue. After a few hours of play, me and my freinds ended up taking turns giving each other massages. I'm really looking forward to getting fitter while playing computer games, though. Who else has had sore arms?

Ahh, fair enuff. After a while we started trying to fool the controllers, seeing how weel we could control the game using the least amount of movement. Golf is still fun sitting down (it only really registers the tilt of the controller, so you can get away with just flicking your wrist at the right speed)

Never have aches, pains from gameing. For example. I would play Guitar Hero on PS2 non stop. And that never gives me aches. As Nintendo has said 1000s of times. You just use small movements. Its not a real bat. You just move gently. ON the Gamespot Marathon. They played for 4 hours straight. Moving madly. And they didnt get tired at all. And they where playing Monkey ball for most of it. A very active game. If you really have aches and pains. Dont go having some massages with friends. Which sounds. Well. You know. I suggest going to the Gym. Before even attempting playing anymore Wii. As I go to Gym. And my arm muscles are very strong. As I also used to do Tae Kwon Do and Judo.

No offense, RainWolf, but I've noticed in many of your posts you seem to pause your sentences. Any reason behind this? Just out of curiosity lol

My arms hurt after my first day of boxing...I blame me for getting into it too much though

Sure you can just move the things gently, but where's the fun in that?!
Rainwolf: How would you get sore from playing Guitar Heros?! It's not exactly a strenuous game!

Wow...got homophobia there, RainWolf? Haha.

I've got a couple of gay mates and they're no different from anyone else I know. They're not overly flamboyant and they don't go around trying to act as women. They even say those type of gay people are just acting that way for attention and not necessarily because they're "gay". Just attention whores lol.

And as for Guitar Hero...yeah I'll give you that one. I'm crapping bricks trying to pass "Laid to Rest" on the intermediate difficulty, let alone trying to attempt it on expert. Your fingers di get sore and your knuckles even more so.

People have choices Rainwolf. If they want to be gay, then they can be, its all up to them. You can't just force beliefs/sexual preferences onto them.

Interesting theories, but perhaps slow down a bit.

Elraro says:

Ok...there are numerous things I feel obliged to argue in that last post because I believe they are just blatant words of ignorance.

Firstly..."If we didnt have g*y men. We wouldnt have aids."? Its a common misconception that AIDS came from gay people...just as the myth that it was spawned from a man having intercourse with a monkey. AIDS can be tramsitted from ANYONE, man or woman. Just look at Africa. The AIDS epidemic in that country is unimaginably high due to men raping women...not two men engaging in consensual intercoirse.

"More people populating the earth"? Are you kidding? The world is OVER-POPULATED by the millions! Governments are urging certain countries to LIMIT the number of children in certain households because its predicted that in less than 50 years, the expansion of people will suck global resources dry! If anything, a decrease in population can be a good thing.

And finally..."I think religion causes all teh violence, terrorism. As they think there doing all this stuff in the name of god." The concept and theory behind religion doesn't spark wars and prejudice. Ignorant extremists and elitists spark those wars. Every religion has the same foundation and that is to respect and love each man as your own. When extremists come into the picture, all of the peaceful teachings go right out the window. I have Muslim friends whose families shun suicide bombers and completely disregard those types of people as "Muslims" just as I disr

I disregard Chirstian racial extremists as "Christians".

I would LOVE to go further into this but this is a Wii forum and we're completely off-topic so I'll stop arguing right here. All I can say is that you have a very warped and narrow view on the world with how you think of women, children and people in general.
