Why Video Games are Good for You and How They Gave Me Mad Skillz

I’ve been sharing/confessing so much over the past few days I’ve decided to keep it up! I surely didn’t create the new label “Did I just admit that?” for nothing!

Back in the good old U.S. of A. I have a Wii that is probably collecting dust. (Is it Scott Pete?) I loved my Wii. And I LOVED Wii Boxing. I was like, seriously, I was like ACE at that game. I could take down ANYONE.

Sore losers would always be like, “Yeah but this is just a video game.”

And in my head I’d be like “Whatever loser. You’re just jealous because I’m like the girl version of Rocky.”

Tonight I went to my very first boxing CLASS. And not a Wii class btw – this one was the real deal and was down at the beach. My instructor was so impressed with my skills that he asked me where I learned to punch and move as well as I do.

Want to know what I told him?

Oh yeah baby – that’s right. I told him I earned my skills on a video game. That’s right. My mad moves come from Wii Boxing. Take THAT Sydney!

Oh and p.s. – I’m sore already. I’ll be lucky if I can lift my arms above my head tomorrow.

  1. That looked a little weird actually. You should think of boxing as taking out your issues with others on them directly. If you have to beat up a guy, think of all the jerk things men have done and beat the daylights out of him. That’s why humans are better beating objects: it feels as if you are actually hurting the people you dislike.

  2. That video was mesmerising and I don’t know why. Could you translate the Japanese for me? Oh wait..

    Surely you don’t play that with a straight face? Looks like alot of fun though. Been tempted to buy a Wii since they released it.

  3. Wii boxing is damn hard!!
    But I am very pleased to know that it translates well into real life. This means I am apparently an excellent hula hooper.
