I've heard that video games are good for Alzheimer's patients because they are addictive, get your brain working, and force you to make quick decisions. The addictiveness and fastpaced parts of video games are what makes them better than simply doing puzzles and stuff like that. My brother has better quick thinking skills than me and the only difference is that he plays a lot of video games. I don't.

Try playing Wii olympics. I lost 10 pounds in three weeks with that game. I was drenched in sweat after 20 minutes of the game.

wii is no more exercise than a long,loud, ass fart

I cant believe people think playing wii is exercise. No wonder there is obesity. Adults and children need to get out and do some exercise. Anyone who sweats playing wii is very out of shape.

Gee, I must be out of shape because I work up a sweat when playing my Wii.
