Maybe not, but a couple of people have suggested to me the implications, motivations and even support from governments for the mode of controling games that exerts energy. My right arm certainlly hurts a bit today. :o
 
Shoulders and the bits in the joints of my elbows really ache today, definately due to boxing and baseball.

HAd my first accident tonight too, smacked the dog in the face with the wiimote :)
 
I got injured earlier...

Other half was playing bowling.... threw her arm back just as I stood up...

...

Straight in my knackers... :eek:

My arm really hurts today, can barely lift it up above my shoulder. Tennis smashes are great fun... Unfortunately I've had to pack it up until Christmas... :(

The first Wii cheat? You're only allowed one ball in bowling.

Ouch :p Live and learn I guess.


I can imagine a some of people, maybe the unfit uber gamers out there, getting quite strained and maybe injured with such things like tennis eblow style injuries, or repetitive strains, but it's a good thing for most people I think, gets you active :)

I did that yesterday too, poor wee mutt :)

Its just adaption time if you play the same game over and over, in the summer i was running 5 5k's a week, and didnt need a break day between doing them, after an injury, getting back into it, i was aching all over after doing 1 5k, and took me a few weeks before i was able to get back to doing even just 3.

If people are punching ever day, they will soon get used to it, punching and moving your arms around isnt something that most people do each day.
 
lol love this thread :D

it might not burn it off.. but its got to help alittle.. got to be better than sitting there on ya ass with a controller surely? :P
 
I wonder if Nintendo will be subject to any lawsuits? Maybe not in Europe, but over in the land of litigation they may. Tennis elbow or whatever it's called.
