Wii Fit Wednesdays - Week 2

posted by nikki at 7:19 pm.

Welcome back to another Wii Fit Wednesday, wherein I endeavor to prove that gamers are not a bunch of fat, lazy slobs living in their parents’ basement. Some of us own our own homes.

Last week, I rounded things out with a solid 3.1 pounds of weight lost in a flurry of yoga and strength training. How’d I do this week?

Date BMI Weight Wii Fit Age
10/21 +0.03 +0.2 29
10/22 +0.00 +0.0 35
10/23 +0.04 +0.2 20
10/25 +0.07 +0.5 31
10/26 —- —- —-
10/27 -0.18 -0.7 34
10/28 +0.07 +0.4 31
10/29 +0.00 +0.0 31
 

Well… that’s a gain of 0.2 pounds since the end of last week… but still an overall loss of 2.9 pounds. I guess there’s bound to be a little bit of an adjustment period. Maybe this week, I’ll try switching trainers. The male coach is kind of a dork.

And yes… I got a little lazy on the 26th. But I made up for it with three and a half hours of yard work and Halloween decorating.

Legend of Zelda spoof, “The Legend of Neil”, returns for round two. The first episode of Chapter II has been posted, and picks up where Chapter I left off (with mistaken-for-Link Neil still trapped in the video game world unable to move past the first level).

Catch the latest episode here, or check out the first chapter of the web show, here.

A whole new way to look at Flickr

I’m admittedly not fond of Wolfenstein 3D and similar games. Of course I’ve played it… I just never got into it. But that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the fact that someone out there took the time to create a Wolfenstein-inspired interface for Flickr:

Hells yes, that is awesome.

Behold, The Legend of Neil

Parodies are always fun, and Fridays always need a little fun. I stumbled across one today, called Legend of Neil. Three guess which game it’s spoofing. Be warned, it may not be 100% safe for work.

Episode 1: The Legend of Neil
“Hello… uh… Old Man.” “You may call me OLD Man.” “I just did.”

Episode 2: First Blood
“You can kill the creature, Link, by taking it’s life”

Episode 3: The Fairy’s Obsession
“Princess Zelda… You’re black?”

Episode 4: The Skeletons in Link’s Closet
“Silence fool! Your insolent logic angers Ganon!”

New episodes are up every Thursday.
