I’ve been drooling over Wii Fit and the Wii Board for a long time now. I read how Wii Fit has a weight limit of 330lbs and wont allow you to play the game if you exceed it. I did more research and found that the board can structurally hold about 600lbs, but the scale functionality only goes up to 330lbs because that’s what most household scales go up to. This was upseting. Why couldn’t they just make the game list me as “Maximum Wight” and let me play? Months went by and I stayed Wii Fitless until I found this handy dandy how to on youtube on how to trick the game’s weight limit and let you play.

Awesome! I can now buy a Wii Fit. I search the local game stores and find one. We go buy it, and on the way home we buy some 2″ foam. I figure he doubled up a sheet of 1″ foam, so 2″ would be easier. I cut the foam and take it for a test run. I get an error. It says I’m fidgeting and I should stand still. CRAP! Ok, maybe I need 1″ foam. That’s what I get for not following the instructions.

The next day I bought a sheet of 1″ foam, cut it up and give it a test… Same damn thing. WTF?! Patrica said her sister said to try a towel. So I did. I folded up a towel so it was about 5 inches wide, set it on the floor, set the Wii Board on it and tested it of. SUCSESS! SWEET!

Thanks Barb… Enjoy that. I’m never saying that ever again!

We played for a couple of hours last night and now my hips are sore. Maybe this really will help with our diets. It’s just fun to play, but if we can have a side effect like losing wieght than so be it!

I was helping a co-worker locate a Nintendo Wii for her son earlier this week. I found some at a near by GameStop, so we took a trip over there. The first thing I noticed when we walked in was a stack of Guitar Hero World Tour Band Kits. 26 of them to be exact. After about 6 circles around the stack I figured I should take a photo so it will last longer. We got the Wii and went back to work.

I’ve been wanting this game for a while now. While at Toys R Us Patricia played with the drum kit. She had a lot of fun with it and said how she would like it too… Well… My mom gave use a $100 credit gift card, that would pay for more then half of it, we didn’t know what to send the card on, so I suggested we get the game.

Wednesday after noon we were proud owners of GH World Tour Band Kit. We rocked out that night and last night. Patricia likes the vocals, and drums. I don’t care much for the vocals, but I love the guitar and drums. The new guitar controller is a LOT better then the old one. It doesn’t register 2 notes if you flick the strum bar too hard like the old one, which is why I didn’t play the old one much.

The audio sounds a little weird. I think they made the “instrument” you are playing louder then normal, so you can hear it better, but as a musician and music lover it just sounds a little off. Patricia has even made note of it too.

All in all it’s a must buy. I can’t wait to unlock the Tool songs!

MarioKart Wii came out on Sunday. I had a pre-ordered copy waiting for me at Bestbuy (Happy early Birthday to me. From me!), but from the looks of it I didn’t need to pre-order it. They had a stack of them piled high on a table, and another stack of Wii Wheels. I got myself an extra Wii wheel too.
