Wii!

[deird1]

My Wii has decided, based on my weight, ability to balance, etc, that I am clearly 40 years old.

40.

*glares at it*



It then told me my weight and BMI, and told me to set myself a fitness goal for the next month. So basically, "In a month I want to have a weight of _____ and a BMI of _____!"

...I'd prefer it if I could set a goal of "In a month, I want you to agree with me that I'm 28."


*is old and decrepit*

I think I'm too scared to let it judge me.

...it's quite alarming, in some ways.

Now video games sit in judgment of us?

*ponders the potential extension of this to criminal proceedings*

"You have been charged with armed robbery! Now, complete three levels of Mario Bros to determine your guilt or innocence!"

I'm enjoying the irony of car thieves at the mercy of Grand Theft Auto.

You realise that means you'd give an entire generation lifelong immunity, right? :)

That's one of the things that will change most quickly as you get wise to its balance games and tests. Don't worry. :)

That's the craziest thing I've ever heard of. Based on that, it would likely assume I was dead!

I think mine decided I was in my 50s based on my poor balance when I first got on it! Also at least it didn't feel the need to adjust your mii's appearance based on your weight in an insulting manner, as it did when it had some of my heavier friends on the board.

I really do keep meaning to get one. I wonder if it has age estimations in 3 figures...?

That definitely changes as you get the hang of its balance tests.

Mine made my Mii obese, and then made hir frown and look upset. *withering glare at the mechanical judge*
