    That is funny. My wife and I have actually made reference to "Wii Arm" Ours comes from the fact that she loves bowling and we have marathons every so often when we will play 50+ games in a sitting and the next day our arms are dead. That is our wii arm

    Bowled till 2:30 AM and shoulder kills.

    Hope I didn't tear a rotator cuff.

    Whatever that is; I can never remember. Probably why I dropped out of pre-Med.

    I look like Trogdor.

    Boxing wears you out. But I don't like boxing.



    My friends and I love Tennis though. It'll burn some calories if you can get really into it the way we do.

    There was also that kid who lost a bunch of weight playing Wii Sports 30 mins a day for a month or whatever it was.

    i can't tell you how much is Wii Arm compared to just the fact that I am right handed but yeah, I have the same thing.

    my arm doesn't even ever get tired anymore, especially after starting marathon Batting Practice sessions about a month ago. swinging constantly for two hours at a clip will get you in "shape".

    If they make a rowboat game, people might become fit enough to join the army.

    Obviously, if such a game is made, it was funded BY the army.

    Maybe he doesn't use only his right hand to masturbate? I sometimes use my left and sometimes use my right.

    Yeah after a good marathon of any Wii Sports game, I tend to feel it in my arms the next day.

    Most of my pain is in the shoulders - especially after too much Wii Baseball. I don't play the baseball much anymore because of it. Bowling and Tennis are usually the only things I get hooked on.

    I can't wait for a full-blown bowling game in the future.

    I think I'd rather have a mii than "realistic" graphics, but seriously, better control would be a plus. I'd do a dual wiimote for more accurate punches that actually mimic my arm movements 1:1. I can punch so much faster than wii boxing will let me.

    For the record, I've seriously considered weighting the wiimote/nunchuck down with sports weights or maybe weighted wristbands.

    I figure when I can get a pro rating in boxing with 60 pound weights on each hand, I might be able to get the bullies at work to stop stealing my lunch money.

    I might need to put my TV behind bulletproof glass though.. I doubt even upgrade wrist straps could save me in that situation.

    In terms of soreness, my arm doesn't get tired from playing.

    In terms of one arm being jacked, one not...like it was said, whho needs ambidextrous writing when you can have ambidextrous masturbation? More benefits.

    Also, weights. Don't be afraid of them.
