Kitsa Born with spinal cord cancer. They fused me to free up room, then the radiation therapy killed the bones and broke the fusion. I'm not dead, so it's all good.

Tadao Thanks Kitsa, that's what I needed. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis. What happened with you?
Mar 19th, 2008 06:43 PM
Kitsa Hey, my spine's fused too! Up high, though. Anyway, I am similarly physically effed up and I enjoy my Wii. The bowling game is my favorite...the tennis one is a little too intense...WarioWare was fantastic but I HATED Raving Rabbids...way too physical, too much of a shakeup on the spinal cord.

Chojin IT WAS A TRAP ALL ALONG

Girl Drink Drunk I like this thread

executioneer it's the wiison for the season
Mar 17th, 2008 03:10 PM
Tadao Yeah, don't mess this thread up. Chojin finally found a valid reason for the Wii.
Mar 17th, 2008 05:24 AM
Chojin you're a troll. NO YOU'RE A TROLL. NO YOU'RE A TROLL. NO YOUUUU'RE A TROLL.

Shut up. Christ.

Wii is not a substitute for normal, fully-functional people going to the gym. No one was claiming that, stop pretending someone did.

I'd close this thread, but someone else might want to use it.

I think I'll jettison your little pissfit into the chat thread.

And that patrick stewart picture wasn't shopped. Don't know why you thought it was or what point that would have proved, but yes ok.

MEETING ADJOURNED.

Guitar Woman I guess it really depends on how fit you need to be. If you're uuber mega serious about it, I wouldn't reccomend exclusively playing Wii Sports and the like, but if it's just a casual thought and halfway an excuse to substitiute videogames for stuff you'd rather not do, go for it.
Mar 16th, 2008 09:40 PM
Tadao Yeah, I do a lot of walking. I have a treadmill and a bowflex. I have to do breathing exercises now too because my ribs are starting to fuse together and I started to breath from my diaphragm instead of my chest without even knowing it.

Basically all I do all day is work on staying flexible and post on the internet. Not a bad life really.

Yall are right. Tadao, go buy a wii IMMEDIATELY
Wow you told me. You have given me a valid reason not to buy something I can use.

I guess this is now a debate about replacing exercise with the Wii. Idiots assume so much. I was doing yoga up until last year and simply cannot do it anymore. I have replaced it with Thai Chi which is doing wonders. I never planned on removing any exercises that I do, I wanted to add on some more that are fun.

Sam Don't waste your money on a Wii dude that is for little kids, get a 360 IT HAS HALO 3 AND GEARS OF WAR DUDE.
Mar 16th, 2008 02:28 PM
Fat_Hippo So you can't do a proper hip thrust any more? Ouch.
Mar 15th, 2008 06:02 PM
Tadao Oops, I meant to put that they are completely fused, not partially. Can't do yoga.

MattJack Don't worry Wii, GW and Chojin will justify your existence


Dood can you go dancing or something? Getting a Wii is cool n all, but I just don't think it will really help you much at all. You will probably be doing small hand movements for the most part. Wii sports would probably be the best game to get like everyone is saying, buutttttt

I'd rather drop 300 bucks on some yoga classes.

Tadao Actually my whole lower back and my hips are fused. I can only do low impact exercises.

Guitar Woman how bout instead of complaining about how much you hate your wii you sell it to Milhouse
Mar 15th, 2008 03:51 PM
Chojin Because his spine is partially fused, retard
Mar 15th, 2008 03:48 PM
Zomboid IT MUST'VE SLIPPED UNDER THE RADAR

How about instead of either sitting and making little hand movements or flailing around like a retard, you go to the gym or something?
Mar 15th, 2008 03:18 PM
Chojin Wow, a whole 8 posts in a wii thread without zomboid :o

I heard that the MLB 2K8 game that just came out finally has motion control (for some reason, the Bigs fucked it up), so that might be cool, too.
Mar 15th, 2008 05:19 AM
Fat_Hippo I think that basically, you could execercise while playing anything on the Wii. As long as you overextend your swings and jump around like a maniac while playing. Which you can.
Mar 15th, 2008 02:10 AM
Tadao Right on, I just looked up Wii fit and A couple of the games look fun. I think I could dig on the Wii golf too.
Mar 15th, 2008 12:58 AM
darkvare just get a wii the free wii sports is the only one i play not sitting down but you may also try wii fit
Mar 15th, 2008 12:56 AM
Chojin Wii Fit comes out in May and has yoga exercises and shit, as well as other, more INTENSIVE exercises.

But yeah, that and WiiSports are the only Wii games that come to mind that you stand up to play. Maybe WarioWare.
