Of course, similar to what happened with Rock Band, Matt's hopes and dreams of Wii Fit curing his weight condition lead to what the movie advertisements refer to as a "roaring rampage of revenge" (after catching his breath from walking up the stairs). He roars. He rampages. We just hope Friend survives for the next big game launch sporting a plastic peripheral.

Your not going to lose weight soley from the game. I believe it could help (see WiiSports Weight Loss thingy) but you need to combine it with actual exercise, and proper diet.

Wow. I wonder if there's a word for heavy prejudice against fat people? You know, like racism but for fatties? Would it be fattist? If so, I believe you radiate fattism.
Of course we all know that people on the internet that make fun of fat people are actually fat themselves, so it's probably a moot point.
But yeah, the guy in the video's still a douchebag regardless.

Phi Nguyen: Sure, bud. Because John Belushi wasn't funny. Neither was Chris Farley. John Goodman? Not funny, nossir. Jack Black isn't funny, either.
Maybe you meant to say ANYONE that thinks they're funny and aren't are annoying. Because your comment makes you sound like an ass.
And yes, I've got a little extra on me. I'm 6'3', and 230. I played football in high school and college, have always been able to make my girlfriends giggle, and I'll bet you wouldn't even think about saying that to me in person.

@ Jimmyfatfat:
OMG! You're SOOO right! John Belushi is totally not funny, and John Candy even less so!
WTF is Chris Farley? ROFLCOPTER!! Apparently an hero according to wiki! So i guess he is kindoff funny, but the joke is on him!
Jack Black doesn't count, he's only semifat, so that makes him semifunny!

Um, wow, it's called reading comprehension, guys. I said "..who thinks he's funny". I didn't say 'who is funny.' There's a big difference there and I'll remember to explain things better next time for all the special people here.
Jimmyjimjim: Your stats sound average to me. You don't sound like you're fat, maybe a little pudgy. I have a friend that is about your size and I would never classify him as being overweight. Also, please can the macho image next time. I'm sorry that you were offended by my comment but you don't have to puff your chest out and offer snide comments. Chances are, we'll never meet and I'd never get to tell you anything to your face. Besides, the whole fat/funny comment probably doesn't apply to you anyways.
I like all those comedians you listed except for Chris Farley. That guy sucked. I hate comedians that you laugh "at" instead of "with".
MasterInsan0: Nope, I'm just your typical asian guy (5'8" 160lbs).

Make up your mind, Phi. Am I fat, pudgy, or about average? Speaking of, why are you putting so much thought into me? If I'm really that intriguing, send me your email and I'll forward you a picture. From the waist up, that is.

Don't bother. I'm not a breast man. As I always say, anything more than a handful is a waste. LOL. j/k, dude. Actually, thinking about it, I guess that classifies me as a waste too. Let that compute for a little. Haha. I kid. It's kinda weird, I've been on Joystiq for a long time now and you're the first person that I've ever got into an argument with and I'll have to admit that your first reply really pissed me off. But looking back at it, we both overreacted and it's true what they say about arguing on the internet. I'm sure that Matt Z thinks that we're both retards. This will be my last post on this topic, so if you want, you can put the kabash on it, Gaylord (A little Dane Cook reference).

Phi: No worries, mate. Actually I was having fun with it, never really pissed at all. I always kind of see internet arguments as who can score the biggest "ooohhh, SNAP!" comment. Not that it matters in the end. Peace.

It would be "humor" since they're from the US. So technically, you're wrong :-p

Haha, I really didn't intend that to be funny. I was opting for a load of expletives, but felt like this would be the more civilised response.

I thought it was funny. Maybe your all just wii fit defenders. You would be surprised at the ammount of people out there who think wii fit will actually get them fit. If you want to lose weight, get off your ass and go for a run, dont improve your balance on a 1 inch thick plastic board.

LMAO mike. But you have to understand that most of these comments are from losers that dedicate their lives to videogames and never see sunlight. I mean, they even freak out when the sales of the beloved consoles decreases.

So now Wii Fit is not supposed to help the user lose weight?
If thats the case then what the hell is it supposed to be/do?
It sounds to me like you Wiiophites are backtracking ... I think Nintendo intended for this to be used in conjuction with workouts and proper diet but to say it is not made to help someone lose weight only adds credance to the scale periphial argument ...
Now as said this fat slob needs more than just Wii Fit - His game comes out early 2009 tenatively titles Wii blob Suck

Mcpoop, as excited as I am to see Kimbo on CBS soon I really don't like the guy. He doesn't even represent the sport well and hes never fought anybody worth mentioning. I would like to see him go against a Houston Alexander. He'd get his shit ROCKED lol!! Am I right?
I'm glad UFC got the Budlight deal (although I wish it was Miller Lite :P)and has a main Fortune 500 Co advertising with it now. Mickeys Malt Liqour who? lol Next up should be the HBO deal. I don't know why they just dont co-produce it then both sides would be happy. I've been a MMA and UFC fan since the beginning and its really come a long way since then.
Boxing isn't dead of course but a lot of people are certainly switching over to MMA. I follow boxing still and still order some ppv's but I've switched to UFC mainly and either order all of them or catch them at BW3's.
