I've heard that being a krav black belt doesn't help that much with Wii boxing, which must be frustrating.
I'm still trying to figure out if there's some sort of method to Wii boxing, or if you can get the same results just by flailing randomly.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hear it's flail.

Okay, it's time once again for my office's annual white elephant gift swap. The rules are everyone brings in a wrapped gift (under $20) and draws straws for the order in which you select gifts. You can either take a gift from the table (mystery!) or steal someone else's already unwrapped gift (score!). You can only steal the same gift 3 times.
Anyhoo, I've narrowed down my selections this year to 2 options.
Option 1: Ninja catapult & Avenging Unicorn play set from Archie McPhee, OR
Option 2: Office Space Box of Flair & Cubicle Doorbell from Thinkgeek.
Vote now! Informally!

Oh, my nephew's getting a Wii for Xmas. What are the good games Aunt Sue can get him?

The status is NOT quo.
Totally flail. Also? Really not good for a couple to play together. (Or at least that was my experience, when I ended up whapping ND on the shoulder IRL because he had knocked me out on the Wii.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The hub insists that there is something non-random-flailing to Wii boxing, but it's definitely not the same as real boxing. I suck too much at real boxing to be able to tell if it's just my suckage or not getting the right Wii tricks. (Also, my attempts to shoot fireballs at annoying people keep failing.)
